[NSFE] What's the single greatest thing Amazon could do to help sellers right now

Our sell through is 1.4 x 1.5 which is what happens when you send in large amount of inventory without it turning over every 3 days but how else can one send in inventory with the added logistical costs with split pallets. My inventory is standard but obviously not supp size. So 16.85 X 3.82 X 3.66 inches

So when we send we send in enough for FC penetration but then that is a minimum of 5 pallets at a time when stocked for at least 60-65 days but they expectation of the sell-through is high inventory turn over but that’s impossible to do with the amount of time it takes FC’s to process shipments and place them/distribute them etc.

Yup, I hear you.

Somehow Walmart is able to guarantee 2 day shipping using 3 FC’s… Amazon has 100’s and can’t figure it out. HAHa

Walmart will never get to same day / overnight though with this primitive setup.

This thread sort of got hijacked, but the obvious answer to the question of

“What is the single greatest thing Amazon could do to help sellers right now”

is to re-instate the privacy on the Forum and have the core experienced sellers come back.

By chance, I clicked on the Home Page (never go there since the redesign of a few year ago) then clicked a forum question.

MY OH MY. Still after 11 months the Forum is worthless. Yes there are a few sellers that seem to help (bless their souls), but I personally find it sad that most are never answered.

Found one that could be answered in a second, that a mod answered, with a question and a link.

Others that are answered are generally wrong (which is the same as the old forum), but at least would be corrected ASAP.

I did find one that was answered correctly.

Must have scrolled down 5 pages - 50 questions.

Bottomline, is that no matter the issue. Small or Large, each seller comes to the forum for HELP.

I know this is a rant, that I am talking to the choir, but this is BIGGEST SINGLE ISSUE for the majority.

and just like any other suggestion here, it will not change.

Yes, will split now.
