All my shipments now split in 3 ways. Is anybody else incounter this problem?
I am been selling on Amazon for 10 years and now I think it's over for me.
Over suddenly all my shipments have been splitting in 3 ways.
and send all over a country.
First shipment PICK at Ca send to Ca as it always was but because I send less amount '
it cost me the same as I was sending whole shipment. cost of this shipment $549 cost per unit $3.12
Second shipment Pick up at Ca and send to Florida right across the country for $840 cost per unit $6.36
this is all I make per unit.
Third shipment pick up again in CA and send to BALTIMORE another way across the country
cost $840.63 cost per unit $6.36
Total cost of the shipment is $2,230.45
What should I do all this 10 years of hard work wasted.
I do not have income anymore. All my profit will go to pay for shipping.
PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP
Now I tried to do Placement services, because everybody advise me about it
Again they send it from CA to TX again across a country. WHY THEY AT LEAST SEND IT FROM CA TO CA!!!
cost of the shipment
$2,033.94 plus placement fee $528.00 total $2561 EVEN MORE
if they at least send it from CA to CA I could handle it but even that they do not want to do it
Amazon trying to get rid of small sellers like me.
Please, if anybody have same experience responce and may be you know what to do

One of the 'joys' of doing FBA is that THEY decide what they want/need in whatever location and they have you ship it there.
That is so that THEIR customers can get things faster and make THEM look good.
My solution has been (and until I am in a nursing home and can't ship things any longer) to sell FBM. I don't trust Warehouse Wally and their automated forklifts to not run over my stuff.
I pack and ship things better than they do anyway. My last several shipments came in plastic bags. One was the package of socks as sold in stores with just the shipping label stuck on it. At least the mail man didn't laugh at my choices. I'm considering buying some thongs just to get a chuckle out of him.
Unless you simply HAVE to do FBA you will continue having these issues and they will most likely get worse as they 'fine tune' where your items need to go.
