Follow the Data Podcast: How Sellers Can Reclaim FBA Fees With SellerLocker Founder Joseph Abitol

Are YOU missing out on thousands of dollars because of hidden Amazon inventory and fulfillment fees?

Happy new year! On this installment of Follow The Data, host Cam Yoder chats with Joseph Abitol, founder of Seller Locker on how you can start 2021 on the right foot by saving your business from hidden yet costly Amazon FBA fees!

While most FBA sellers just accept Amazon-related fees as the cost of business and focus solely on driving sales, Joseph Abitol explains this is a mistake that could be costing your business a hefty amount of cash.

Well, a penny saved is a penny earned. But how exactly do you earn this money?

Cam and Joseph dive headfirst into how to identify the areas where you might be losing money. Additionally, Joseph provides a quick three-step process to remedy those losses!

HIGHLIGHTS

Need proof of SellerLocker’s methods? Joseph shares his screen and showcases how one seller recovered over $400,000 in fees! (6:04)

In this space, unfortunately it’s common that “gurus” will use inflated or false numbers to showcase their alleged expertise. But this isn’t that. If there were any doubt about sketchy math, Joseph provides the proof that others won’t show.

The three-step process Joseph recommends that all sellers can do, with or without SellerLocker (8:36)

SellerLocker originated as a tool for the elite sellers on Amazon, but has developed methods that every seller can use to be reimbursed for lost money. Depending on the size of your business, this is an explosive, groundbreaking method to help improve your bottom line.

When you sell on Amazon, it’s easy to trust the system in place. But given the massive amounts of lost money, should sellers be skeptical? (11:30)

Cam asks the hard-hitting question. If this money has been missing, how can sellers trust the system in place? It’s less devious than you think, and Joseph breaks down why the reimbursed money and how Amazon already reimburses sellers for some of these fees you may not be aware of.

Step #2: Follow Up On Your Claims (14:08)

In step one, Joseph shows you how to open a claim. And too many sellers stop there. Following up on your claim is the only way to get your money back, and SellerLocker has methods to automate this process so you can save money automatically.

Step #3: Managing Your Documents (19:21)

Always keep your receipts! This isn’t just a helpful tip for shoppers, it’s also one for Amazon sellers. When reporting these issues, Amazon asks for proof through documentation, just as a store will ask for a receipt to issue a return. SellerLocker showcases what documents you’ll need, and how to create a system to organize your documents.

Closing advice from Joseph on getting into ecommerce in 2021 (30:24)

Is 2021 too late to get into the ecommerce game? Nope! Even Joseph’s dad is looking to get into the selling space to take advantage of the massive amounts of money sellers are making. With the right tools and strategy, you could be one of them.

Skyrocket Your Amazon Business with FBA Alternatives Like Deliverr

In this episode of Follow The Data, we’re interviewing Michael Sene from Deliverr – one of the top 3PL companies eCommerce sellers are tapping into for explosive growth.

Amazon’s revolutionary two-day Prime shipping changed the logistics game forever and played a sizable role in making it the eCommerce powerhouse it is today. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is one of the many pillars that make becoming an Amazon seller appealing and possible.

But it isn’t the only way to store your products and fulfill your orders on time.

Amazon coach and Follow the Data host Cam Yoder sat with Michael Sene from Deliverr to discuss the advantages of Fulfillment By Merchant (FBM) third-party logistics.

Like Amazon Prime, Deliverr boasts fast and affordable shipping options that enable multi-channel logistics to sellers of any size. However, unlike Prime, Deliverr allows for fulfillment on orders outside of Amazon. As a result, they’re simplifying the fulfillment experience and allowing sellers the opportunity to explore omnichannel options.

When COVID-19 hit, Amazon sellers saw their inventory (and profit) freeze. Many started searching for alternative options for fulfillment and researching the growing industry of 3PL companies such as Deliverr.

Alternative fulfillment options allow you to maintain the shipping speed and convenience necessary to continue growing while opening the door to easily host and sell your products on websites like Walmart, Shopify, Wish or eBay (not to mention protecting your eCommerce operations when big events like COVID-19 or the holidays hit).

Check out this installment of the Follow The Data podcast for more information on 3PL companies like Deliverr and if FBM via 3PL is right for your business.

HIGHLIGHTS

Who is Michael? What is Deliverr? (0:00)

Get to know Michael Sene, Director of Sales and Partnerships at Deliverr. If you haven’t already heard of Deliverr, get up to speed with one of the companies to watch in ecommerce.

On Deliverr’s rise, and why merchants are flocking to their service. (1:45)

Based in San Francisco, Deliverr has skyrocketed since its 2017 inception thanks to its speedy and affordable fulfillment platform. Michael breaks down what solutions they’re offering to innovate the fulfillment space and become a preferred service for sellers.

Fulfillment has made significant strides in recent years. What do the next 2-3 years of fulfillment look like? (16:00)

The appeal of Amazon Prime’s two-day shipping changed eCommerce forever, but it’s not the end of advancements in shipping fulfillment. Is same-day shipping a realistic possibility? Sene gives us a look into what Deliverr is doing to shape the future of fulfillment.

What should sellers be thinking about when considering the migration to a 3PL? (22:41)

For existing Amazon sellers, change can feel like a risky proposition and is easy to put off. But Amazon is continuously evolving, and all avenues to earn a leg up on the competition should be weaponized. Sene provides his expert insight on what aspects should be considered when migrating from FBA to FBM using a 3PL.

What sets Deliverr apart from the competition? (26:45)

Deliverr is at the forefront of transforming logistics as we know it, but they aren’t the only 3PL. Hear from the expert on why Deliverr is the hottest name in logistics with seemingly limitless potential.

For more information on whether Deliverr is right for you, be sure to head to their website. With powerful integrations and shipping options for Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, Wish, and more, Deliverr is an up-and-coming 3PL that is shifting eCommerce as we know it and helping sellers fulfill their dreams.
