There is a new hurdle almost every day for us in our business. Some days are much harder than others.
Either way, it is up to you to try and figure out a path forward.

This hurdle was that the power in our entire warehouse complex went out. Dead in the water with orders that had to go out but we made it work and got all of the orders out for the day.

🚨 Amazon’s DD+7 payout policy is making cash flow tighter than ever for sellers… especially when shipping costs are deducted immediately while your revenue is delayed.

But there’s a smarter way to handle shipping expenses. 👇

By connecting your UPS account through Unishippers, you can:
âś… Access discounted UPS shipping rates
âś… Move shipping charges off your Amazon disbursement balance
âś… Pay invoices via ACH OR credit card
âś… Earn valuable credit card points/rewards
âś… Potentially extend your payment timeline by combining NET terms + your card billing cycle

The best part?
Your Amazon Buy Shipping labels still remain protected with the claims badge while giving you more flexibility behind the scenes.

For sellers focused on preserving cash flow and maximizing every dollar, this strategy can be a game changer. 💳📦

No one said it’ll be easy but just like with any business, you get out of it what you put in. We’ve been selling since 2018 and here are our total sales to date. Our numbers aren’t the highest or best, but enough to feed our families! Feel free to drop us a question anytime!

Most Amazon & Shopify sellers overpay for shipping labels and don’t even realize it.

If you’re using the default rates inside these platforms… you’re leaving money on the table. Their rates are cheaper than the general public’s, but there is still more discount to utilize.

There’s a better way 👇

You can connect your own business UPS account and unlock significantly discounted rates (often cheaper than those shown by Amazon or Shopify).

We use Unishippers to do this—and it’s been a game changer for our margins. This is one of

Amazon’s “new” DD+7 payout rule has a lot of sellers worried — but here’s the thing: many FBM sellers were already on a delivery-based reserve. Before you panic about cash flow changes, go check your Deferred Transactions report and compare your delivery date to your release date.

1. Go to Payments → Reports Repository
2. Update reporting date range to month
3. Download and export file
4. Compare column A (date/time of order) to column AF (transaction release date)

If the dates are 7 days past your expected delivery for the order, you’re good. If not, you need to plan for a cash flow shortage when this rolls out!

Inventory age is critical in your Amazon business! Your goal should be to get items in and sold as quickly as possible. Remember, after 365 days Amazon no longer accepts your documentation for fighting appeals so the older your stuff is, the more risk you’re exposing yourself to. You want your chart to be heavily skewed to the smallest days possible. In and out like a fast food restaurant!

Reviewing your shipping charges on historical orders after Q4 is essential! We plot our data on a histogram to check if there were outliers, what our average is, and what the distribution looks like. This also confirms if the shipping estimate you are using while sourcing is actually a good estimate, or if you need to adjust it! You can see we sit in the neighborhood around $10 for th majority. This is one of the many reasons we are fully FBM, since we get to control this number versus having faith Amazon is keeping that number low in their fulfillment fees baked into orders. Hope this helps!

As we begin the new year, our continued focus is on raising our margins and lowering our operating expenses! We’ve been selling since 2018 and it has been a roller coaster of a ride. Starting on Amazon is easy, but staying on the platform is very difficult. Here are our numbers for the past 5 year across all the platforms we sell on. You’ll notice that regardless of our revenue, the trend for our margin consistently is going up year over year. The issue we tackle this year is lowering our operating expenses to operate more efficiently. We are very thankful for the community of folks who are a part of the journey!
