Your inventory strategy is costing you thousands in storage fees.
Most sellers think sending more inventory to Amazon is always better.
"More stock = fewer stockouts = more sales."
Wrong.
I just saved a client $4,200 last month by optimizing their send-in strategy.
They were shipping 3 months of inventory at once...
Paying monthly storage fees on products sitting for 60+ days.
Plus long-term storage fees that kick in after 365 days.
Here's what we changed:
→ Analyzed velocity by ASIN
→ Staggered shipments based on actual demand
→ Calculated the sweet spot between stockout risk and storage costs
Result: 47% reduction in storage fees while maintaining 99% in-stock rate.
The math is simple — if your storage fees exceed the cost of a potential stockout, you're over-shipping.
Most agencies don't track this because it doesn't affect their commission.
We do because it affects your profit.
What's your biggest inventory challenge right now — too much stock or too many stockouts?
