How FBA Capacity Limits are key to Q4 success

With Q4 around the corner, the stakes for managing your inventory and capacity have never been higher. Mismanaging these factors could put you behind the competition or, even worse, in the red.

Amazon is proactively informing us about significant reductions in FBA delivery appointments and capacity limits throughout Q4 so they can focus on fulfilling orders rather than receiving inventory.

One way they are doing this is by reducing FBA delivery appointment slots more than ever.

The other way is forcing many sellers to face reduced capacity and hard deadlines for getting their inventory into fulfillment centers, meaning you'll need to stock up early while managing smaller quantities to stay compliant.

Amazon's adjustments aim for smoother operations, but this puts more pressure on sellers to manage inventory with precision. This is where SoStocked.com by Carbon6 is the best ally for your inventory management needs.

Planning is key to avoiding costly stock-outs or being unable to create new shipments during high-demand periods.

So, even though it is easier to say than do, staying within capacity limits is crucial to optimizing your operational costs and maintaining profitability.

Always watch the Capacity Monitor towards the end of each month. This will confirm your next month's limits and help you adjust your strategy in real-time by checking the forecasts.
