😱 INDONESIA RAPIDLY BECOMING SOURCING HOT BED

Yulia Bilnova of Zignify Global Product Sourcing recently shared on the Helium 10 Elite a great website for sourcing in Indonesia, which she says is becoming a hot destination for sellers looking to source outside of India. China and Vietnam.

She says you can even get a sourcing assistant on the site to help you find the right product on Indonesia’s 9,000+ islands. The English translation calls it an Office Boy/Girl.

📛   CUT FBA RECEIVING TIMES up to 83%

Scott Needham of SmartScount recently had a conversation with Kayvon of ZonPrep, in which Kayvon showed how one Amazon seller cut FBA receiving times from 24 days down to just 4.

The secret lies in understanding two ways inventory arrives at Amazon fulfillment centers (FCs):

1. Drop Trailers: Trucks park full trailers at the FC, and Amazon unloads them when they can. This often leads to long wait times—trailers might sit idle for days or weeks in the parking lot before getting touched.

2. Live Unloads: Trucks arrive with a scheduled appointment, and product is immediately brought into the FC. Although it can be challenging to secure the ideal appointment slot, once set, the inventory goes live much faster.

If your 3PL or logistics team currently uses drop trailers, consider investigating live unloads. It can be a major advantage—especially during peak seasons:

• Reduced Lead Time: Live Unloads helped one seller shrink receiving times from 24 days to 4.

• Lower Stockout Risk: Faster receiving means fewer inventory gaps, especially crucial during high-volume periods like Q4.

• Better Cash Flow: Quicker product availability helps you recoup costs and meet customer demand more efficiently.
