I'm sure this has been asked before... Has anyone had experience requesting quote for bulk buy via Amazon Business?

30% off LEGO @ FleetFarm https://www.fleetfarm.com/brand/lego/_/N-330870884

You can run reports for deferred transactions that show when $ will be released. Some of my transactions are 4+ weeks out. Nothing inside 7 days for me.

Seriously? That math works out to be 10,000+ per year. What’s your fulfillment mix between FBM and FBA? Really sorry to those folks waking up to this. Know there are 3PS out there who will sell excess inventory on your behalf.

Leia helmets are ringing up $44.79 in store. Already sold out online. Probably worth everyone getting off their keister and making a run. This one is giving me TIE vibes.

Also has 75339 Trash Compactor for 30% off @ $63. IF they ever go out of stock, this could climb to 2x sale price pretty quickly. https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/573484373

Is anyone else suffering from Walmart fulfillment? Like way worse than their usual subpar self? - Shorting me on quantities (hovering around 10% of all orders) - just had another showing 9 were delivered and 5 arrived with their own picture evidence (no bag or shipping box) - Shipping delays/cancellations galore - Poor packing from warehouse - $10 sets getting mashed mixed with larger boxes - Even worse coming from stores - Stickers and packaging tape all over sets. Some sets arriving wrapped and bound together by packaging tape Knock on wood, but not a single issue from Target or Amazon from any of the above.

I've submitted 10 claims this year and have been reimbursed for all. Assume you're sending invoices? In comments, I'll mention confirmed shipping box size & weight. I've also successfully disputed problems with shipment claims. I am not going to acknowledge these 'problems'. Your warehouse guy cannot scan or count.

11% CB @ Walmart & LEGO.com via Rak

FBM slow here too. Just checked and couple listings now suppressed. Checked further and noticed sellers listing ASIN for cheap in collectible condition. Nothing motivates an algorithm to seek and destroy BB more than listing that suddenly advertises item for 25%+ less than average sales price.

My deliveries are always tight - 2 to 3 day delivery. But I listed FBM item for $93 and Amazon is advertising @ $85. Noticed this on a few others. Less drastic match (.05 - $2.50), but they're matching lowest seller without me matching. Sale on my end still goes through with price I listed.

Noticed a few of my FBM listings are matching lowest FBA price despite price I've set being $7+ higher. And there's no 'discount provided by Amazon' either. Sales go through with the price I've set, but doubt buyer is paying that. Couldn't understand how I was getting these sales when I was like the 25th lowest price - went to listing and I figured out why. Maybe this is their way of returning favor after years of getting hosed by suppression, sudden stranded inventory, and the 20+ other things that have made it harder to sell on this platform.

Was able to get a few of the above, but I was probably 5-10 min late to party. $1500+ of orders, however, for LEGO with retail value of $5000+.

Um, Walmart?

I purchased a few pre-built 7662 Trade Federation MTTs a few years ago and had to disassemble. Felt like I was defusing a bomb...

If someone could figure out this and when the algorithm arbitrarily decides to suppress a listing and remove the buy box, that would be great. I see 75954 main listing is still suppressed, despite being retired now for 18 months and offers starting just 1.5x above RRP. How can they justify collecting massive FBA storage fees when they do not advertise an easily viewable price on their own website? I would be livid if I dropped a pallet or two of these and similar SKUs.

I've had high number of backordered items later canceled and always ensure part of my order includes in-stock item. I sometimes root for the backordered items purchased @ RRP to be canceled. And I do not understand the logic to add a needless keychain. Plenty of $10 sets out there that will sell for $25+ this time next year.

The Crystal King and Friends Shuttle are also available @ Costco.com for $50

Zavvi has some decent deals $680 MiLF $360 Hogwarts Castle $300 Republic Gunship $250 Home Alone (back to ORRP)

This listing is singlehandedly paying off an entire FC based on the amount of storage fees they are accumulating in the next 90 days. I've largely avoided these types until Amazon gets a human being to fix. The UK/US duplicates are bad enough. Then you add the FF/standard layer within a listing. It's all confusing to a buyer who just wants to one-click a purchase and move on.

This should be fun. Is the same guy who thought my item didn't need a shipping box the one who will tell me what the discounted rate will be in determining 'fair' value? ADD: And their timing is amazing... effective first weekend when people start to go into holiday shopping mode.

I'd be curious, of the sets you mentioned that have not increased, who are the current sellers and how much stock do they have... I also notice when these 10-15 drop FTLs, the seller count does begin to become bloated. Other sellers aren't paying attention to these guys when they are creating new shipments. The SKUs are still selling at same pace with little change in sales rank, but now there's large increase in overall quantity @ a less than great selling price...and pricing pressure ensues. Of the 2021 retirees I've tracked that are performing well, I've noticed very few if any have had 200+ copies drop at one time. I am gambling at this point TP, TB, PFT, etc. have probably sent in their freights for the holiday season.

I've become less concerned over new investors. Feel like seller counts can sometimes be deceptive between the dropshippers and newbies with 1-2 sets for some of these SKUs. Instead, I've diverted most of my attention focusing on 10-15 sellers dropping FTLs of SKUs. These guys park 200-2500+ copies, set the price (wall), and then it inevitably becomes a sad race between new investors, FBMers, and even established FBA sellers to see how much margin they're willing to sacrifice. I'd love to see the Q4 storage fees for some of those 10-15. To me, these folks are a much more disruptive force influencing Mr. Market. I could be wrong, but I don't remember them dropping this much stock pre-COVID.
