Let's Talk POLY BAGS for Amazon FBA
Poly bags are an integral part of prepping items to send to Amazon for your Amazon FBA business. It's best to have a variety of sizes of poly bags, as Amazon doesn't want you to have too much empty space inside each bag. Moreover, Amazon policy stipulates that poly bags used for prepping items meet the following criteria:
1.) Bags must be CLEAR so the items can be seen inside.
2.) A Suffocation Warning must be printed n the bag.

Below are (non-affiliate) links to all of the various clear poly bags I have purchased to use in my business. If you have your own favorite brand or size, please comment below!

Let's Talk BOXES for Amazon FBA & FBM
มุมมอง 4Kปีที่แล้ว
Boxes are an integral part of shipping your product inventory to both customers (FBM) and directly to Amazon (FBA). I go over expectations and regulations on what kind of boxes you should be using for both merchant-fulfilled orders and shipping stuff to Amazon to sell on your behalf. If you're just starting out as a seller, pay attention to box restrictions so you don't make the same mistake I ...

Beginner's Notes: What goes into "Prepping Product" when selling through FBA?
มุมมอง 141ปีที่แล้ว
I'm a total noob at Amazon FBA, but I've learned a ton in just a few short weeks. I shot this video while prepping some products that I hope to get approved to sell very soon. I talk about un-gating, covering up product UPC codes, and when to bag items that you're sending in to be sold and shipped by Amazon.

    • @adventuresinfba

      Best rule of thumb is that if the customer can touch the fabric of the sock, polybag it. If the box is fully closed and there's no way to touch the end product, you should be fine.

    Thank you. Quick question. I thought you had to cover up the SKU number on the product before you bagged it? And then put our label on the outside of that bag. Do I not have to cover up the SKU numbers that would save me on polybag pricing?

    • @adventuresinfba
      @adventuresinfba 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Most cases I cover up the SKU, yes. If you think the Amazon employee scanning your stuff in could make a mistake and scan the original UPC, you should cover it so only your FNSKU is shown. I might try to hide the original UPC code with the "suffocation warning" text, if possible. If I can't, then I tape over the UPC and apply my FNSKU to the outside of the bag.

    • @adventuresinfba
      @adventuresinfba ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Airan. Very sorry for not seeing this sooner. Amazon may prevent you from selling a brand or category until you get "ungated". Basically, it wants evidence that you purchased at least 10 of an identical item, and then provide packing slip proof that the items were delivered to your mailing address declared to Amazon Seller. You'll find that you can't just buy 10 from any ol' store. For example, I bought 10 of two different Nike products from the Nike website, but Amazon rejected me EVERY time I submitted to be ungated. I then bought 10 of a different product from Kohls.com, and Amazon accepted my application. I've also been ungated in Lego and - as shown in this video - Burt's Bees via online Kohls purchases. Now, not every product or brand will require ungating, and I believe it gets easier as your store gains traction.
