hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video we have made it to the desert of arizona
we went from texas to new mexico for a little pit stop and then now we are in arizona for a little
bit i'm sure that no one noticed but just in case you did i took a small break from releasing videos
i think it was like a week and a half because i was super non-stop working on my new beginner
fba amazon training course so it is now out but i did have to take a break from filming and editing
videos so that i could work on that and yeah so if you want to know more about it the link is below
where you can sign up or just you know read more about it i will do a full video on it later on but
i just wanted you to know that it is out so if you want help getting started on amazon the course is
now available you can connect with other sellers who are also getting started as well as i am in
the group i get the notices of every post right on my phone so i'm in there answering and it is
pretty much the closest thing that i'll ever offer to one-on-one training so if you do want my help
i'm there to help you but for today's video we're going to cover two quick topics removal orders and
price alerts so first up a removal order is purely just getting your stock sent back to
you from the amazon warehouses so it could be anything like a customer damage customer return
it could be expired it could be damaged by the warehouse whatever it is there is a reason that is
now unsellable and unfulfillable and you can ask for it back or you might just want your stock back
because for who knows why you want to get it back and return it to the store whatever reason you
want it removed you can definitely get it removed so i'll walk you through how to do that now
so if you're in your manage inventory screen you'll see here remove unfulfillable inventory
fix stranded inventory and then price alerts we'll get to the price alerts in a second but these both
of these you can just click on this to get your unfulfillable items back from amazon if you want
and you'll see here it has the option just create removal order so all you would do
is you click on the button create removal order and then it will say where do you want it sent and
you just put in the address you want it to you can set it anywhere sometimes i send stuff to my mom
if i think she might want it or i just don't want amazon to have it i don't know i sometimes send
stuff to my mom so you can really send it wherever you want to obviously back to your house would
be the easiest option amazon says that removal orders take 14 business days to expect back to you
up to 30 days during the holiday time period and i do know this to be true because sometimes they
take a really long time to be sent back there are also fees associated with removal orders so
either if you're gonna dispose it or ask for it to be removed and sent back to you
it's either 25 cents to 40 cents plus depending on how big the item is and if it weighs over two
pounds and it starts to get a little more it can be up to two dollars on heavier items so just
know there is a fee regardless of if you're removing it or having it sent back to you
and really quickly i'm going to go back to my manage inventory screen
and if there was something that you wanted to have removed from this stock that was not already
amazon saying you need to do something with it then you can just click on the item you want to
have removed and hit create removal order right here and again it'll walk you through all the
process so sometimes if there's unfulfillable that amazon wants you to ask for back or do
something with it will sometimes say it's they want you to do something with it but it'll say
it's unfulfillable so there's was one item where it was like you need to get rid of this and every
time i went to do it it was either moving around or something and it wouldn't let me do the order
so sometimes that does happen so just know that uh but yeah they're pretty easy to do and you can ask
for whatever you want back like i said it's either 25 to 40 cents an item and there's no like extra
shipping on top of it it's just that's the price so like i mentioned you can also have it disposed
of which i don't actually know what amazon does with them and since i travel all the time i do
usually just do dispose of the item because all that's gonna happen is i'm gonna ask for it back
and then i'm gonna have to throw it away and now i had to pay extra shipping to have it sent to my
mailbox and then they send it to me and that cost me money so most times i just dispose of it i
have heard that amazon will like put it in bins outside their warehouse and do these like sales
or something i don't really know i just know it's more convenient for me for them to just dispose
of it so if i had a house i'd probably ask for it back so you can ask for everything back if it's a
customer return you might want to ask for it back just to see if it is actually sellable because
sometimes amazon says you can't sell it or they won't sell it but when you get back and inspect it
it's actually sellable so you can just turn around and sell again all right so price alerts this is
the other alert that you will sometimes see in your manage inventory there is actually also
a whole pricing drop down where you can select price alerts what price alerts are is when you
price something that amazon thinks is either too high or too low too low is actually a thing that
happens the first time it happened to me was on accident i thought i put like i don't know 10.99
and it just went 0.99 and so amazon was like are you really sure you want to sell this for 99 cents
which in that case it was great but when it's the high price alerts it's really frustrating so i
went ahead and i had a toy that i was using to get ungated and i sent it in anyways and
i probably shouldn't have because the rank is so high but i did put the price up to 59
so that it would spring a price alert so i could show you how to fix it so from my manage inventory
i went ahead and clicked the price alert and so now you can see here it's like take action this
is a relatively new screen it didn't used to look like this so we're gonna walk through it together
so they deactivated it and now you need to update it so you should be able to so click
here edit prices you used to be able to do it right on one screen but now there's extra buttons
of course so they're recommending that i price it at 7.99 and then you need to set your minimum so
normally i put my minimum so i don't want to be below nine dollars or i'm going to lose money
so i'm just going to go ahead and say 999 is my minimum my maximum is 15.99 and i want to sell
it for 14.99 and amazon's saying my prices aren't in line but i'm gonna try it anyways
and i'll probably get an email saying hey you got another price alert you're deactivated which looks
like this or it might just work so we'll see how it goes um like i said it used to be where it was
just numbers that you put in here now you do need to put the min and the max where it won't set and
if it always if amazon's telling you that you are too high but you're seeing other sellers
at that same price or higher which does happen it's super frustrating you just have to keep
adjusting it to like a couple cents a dollar until it finally takes or you could ask for it back and
redo the listing now when you're doing fbm this is really easy i just will delete the whole listing
and start over again but when it's fba it's a lot harder because it's hard to do the listing
and it goes stranded then you have to make them re-list it and i've not really ever had a lot of
success with that so i ended up asking them for him back so anyways it's really frustrating but
that's what you do with the price alert so if you ever get one for too low or too high just
adjust it there and save it and it should activate again now you got to make sure because this price
i set it at 9.99 was my min so if i ever adjust it to just get rid of it one day and i'm like okay
fine whatever 8.99 it's gonna deactivate because it's lower than what i set my minimum so just know
that i do that kind of a lot actually and i'm like oh shoot that's right so just know that it might
deactivate if you set it too low okay so it's not here anymore so it seems to have worked so there
we go my price alert is fixed it's been happening where a lot of people are getting a lot of them
and you just kind of have to keep playing with it but if it seems like it's insane or there's
so many happening to you you can always open a help ticket amazon can look into your account
better than other sellers can give you feedback so i always suggest opening a help ticket if you
need help with your amazon account for amazon to look into it specifically so that's all i have
