I think that is the reason why some people were asked about certain sets and others were not. Every item on my list was either in stock or I had sold within fairly recently (6 months maybe?) Every set that others received an e-mail about and I didn't was out of stock and hadn't sold any for a while (but still had an inactive listing.) No i listed it after emails came out because it said Toy in description. The other sets I have sold this year but longer than 6 months. The bear has been poked.

I'm hoping that this will all bubble up far enough that it gets brought back in line with reality. The same guy said he received the test reports as well, submitted them and was approved 6 hours later. He says they closed the case. He didn't provide any example or explanation of what these test reports are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loghamel Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Hey guys. Just ran out of FNSKU labels. Anyone know a big box store that has thermal labels 2"-3" wide x ~1" tall? I have to leave town tomorrow evening and would really like to get this shipment out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loghamel Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I checked at Office Depot and the smallest they had were 3 1/2" x 1". FNSKU must be 3" or less. Haven't checked BB. Thanks for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landphieran Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've been trying to schedule my pickup with fedex the last 3 days. First day the customer service lady put down the wrong street. Second day no one shows up. Finally a nice gentlemen comes today. We fill up his fedex truck, looking at 15 boxes left... He goes huh? I'm going to call my boss. After 20 minutes on the phone, "we have to take some of these out. Someone may be back later to get them." I politely said, some one best show up. TBD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea.I have a fedex account which they normally would bill for the pickup but i know you used to be able to get free pickups as long as you used Amazon labels. In the past I used UPS and they would charge you 8-10$ for scheduling a pickup. I usually schedule a pickup if i can't fit the shipment in my cargo van. I've delivered shipments in two batches before and have had huge problems with Amazon not receiving the inventory correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBA boxes are free pickup with Fed Ex. Just make an account online and schedule it on the website as a ground pickup. I've done UPS smart pickups since 2014 and have never been charged. They do 1 year free pickup promos and don't usually charge you after the year is up. Fed Ex has to be scheduled for the next business day and usually makes you enter in box quantity and weight estimates. UPS doesn't ask for this info on Smart Pickups and you can schedule pickups for same day before the cutoff time you set. I've requested UPS pickups as late as 3pm and they still come that day (or late LATE night during the Holiday rush.) Fed Ex is usually cheaper, but not always. UPS has been more consistent and reliable for me though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many boxes were you shipping? I considered doing a Fedex pickup, but had too many boxes so I just hired movers to haul it down to Fedex.

This is when it is more profitable to hire someone so you can focus on tasks that generate much higher profit. We have one employee at $10 per hour to unbox, prep, and pack while we handle the buying and admin. If you have a trusted friend, family member or neighbor I would highly recommend going this route if you can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
