Hey everyone,

I'm a small FBA seller here, and I primarily use ATS to send my inventory to the BLR8 Fulfillment Center. For the most part, things have been smooth, but lately, I've been running into a really frustrating issue with missing inventory, and I'm wondering if this is a widespread problem.

It seems like every single shipment I send in now has units that go missing. The units get partially inwarded, and then the shipment just sits in a "receiving" state for 14 days or even longer. This is a huge headache because I can't accurately account for how many units will actually be received versus those that are potentially lost or damaged.

I understand that occasional discrepancies can happen, but this has been consistent across my last three shipments. For example, my most recent shipment was a 54-unit box, and only 43 units have been received. I fully expect it to stay like this until it's finally eligible for investigation. Before that, another shipment I sent a few weeks ago has 103 out of 113 units inwarded and is still stuck in receiving. This problem is one of the reasons I am sending smaller shipments in batches of 54.

I am literally tensed right now to send my inventory to BLR8 and am mulling whether I should go for BLR7( Past experience with BLR7 has not been great due to more delays as compared to BLR8)

Is this really common for other FBA sellers, especially those sending to BLR8?

Do I just need to keep sending items in, essentially "feeding the beast," hoping that eventually I'll reach a point where I don't go out of stock, even if my shipments are consistently partially inwarded?

Or should I try sending my inventory to a different FC now? Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
