๐ฆ Your Q4 inventory doesnโt have to be entirely in FBA.
๐Amazon is already recommending sellers send their holiday inventory in August and September to reduce the risk of transportation and receiving delays during the Q4 peak season. But sending inventory early doesnโt necessarily mean sending all of it directly to FBA.
The real question is: how much inventory do you actually need at Amazon - and where should you keep the rest?
During Q4, sellers need to balance two risks:
๐ด Too much inventory at Amazon โ FBA capacity limits, storage costs and less flexibility.
๐ Too little inventory at Amazon โ stockouts, missed sales and potential low-inventory fees.
๐ก This is where an FBA inventory buffer can help.
Instead of sending your entire Q4 stock to FBA at once, you can:
๐ Keep the required inventory at Amazon based on your expected demand.
๐ข Store the remaining inventory at a 3PL warehouse.
๐ Replenish FBA as your inventory levels change.
This gives you more flexibility to manage Q4 inventory while keeping additional stock close, FBA-ready and available when you need it.
