Whenever the peak sales season is approaching, a large number of orders from Amazon merchants will inevitably lead to warehouse explosions in FBA warehouses. Warehouse explosions mean that your goods cannot be successfully warehoused, which will affect subsequent shipments. Of course, sellers can also prepare for warehouse explosions to increase the success rate of warehouse entry. How to do it specifically?
First of all, the Amazon FBA warehouse system is automatically allocated, and sellers cannot choose it by themselves. It is mainly based on factors such as warehouse facilities, temperature, humidity, and the type of products of the seller to allocate suitable warehouses. Therefore, during the peak season, many sellers are assigned to some warehouses that are bursting. So what should we do to avoid encountering these warehouses?
What are the ways to avoid encountering FBA warehouse explosions?
1. Change the shipping address. Generally, Amazon will allocate it according to your shipping address, so everyone should try to reduce it to separate from some addresses that are prone to warehouse explosions as much as possible. Choose other addresses, and the Amazon system may allocate the warehouse you want.
2. Repeatedly delete the shipments and rebuild the shipments until a warehouse that you are satisfied with appears. Deleting too many shipments will have side effects, which may greatly affect warehouse performance. It is not recommended to try multiple times.
3. Large shipments can be sent to unpopular warehouses. We rarely ship large shipments. If it is a new product, you can fill in the product size as a large shipment size, and then the goods will be placed in the large shipment warehouse, which must not be a “dead warehouse”.
4. Sellers with overseas warehouse resources can try to send the goods to the overseas warehouse first, and then transfer the goods from the overseas warehouse to FBA after the FBA warehouse resumes normal shelf speed.
Regarding FBA warehouses during the peak season, there are relatively few warehouses such as the US East warehouse that are overwhelmed, and the goods need to be put on the shelves faster, so you can try to choose a warehouse in the US East to improve the efficiency of product shelving. If you happen to encounter a warehouse explosion, which causes the goods to be delayed for more than 14 days, then prepare the relevant certificates and open a case to solve it.
The peak season is an important period for Amazon sellers to increase sales, so everyone must grasp FBA well. The impact of warehouse explosion on the store is very large, and everyone must try to avoid it.
