This is insane and very sad and something which happens often. This is very unacceptable to happen in America and praying they fix this. #workWithUsAmazon
@dharmeshmehta @ajassy @DavidZapolsky Lets fix this!!!

[Paul Bristow @pbristow]

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Regardless of the outcome, end the conversation positively to keep future opportunities open.

[Paul Bristow @pbristow]

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Approach haggling with confidence and friendliness. Build rapport by engaging in small talk and showing genuine interest in the seller and their product. Research prices beforehand to strengthen your position and let the seller make the first offer.

[Paul Bristow @pbristow]

@MartinSLewis @itvMLshow Start with a lower price to leave room for compromise and use silence strategically after making your offer. Stay polite but persistent, highlighting how the deal benefits both sides. Be prepared to walk away if necessary, as this can often lead to a better offer.

🚨 URGENT: Amazon, This Cannot Continue 🚨

I am the owner and operator of BTW Global, LLC (TB Superstore, Merchant ID: A3VQS8HNHDVD50), a $30M/year Inc. 5000 company, is being unjustly punished by Amazon with an account deactivation based on false copyright infringement claims.

We’ve submitted all required documentation directly from our suppliers—National Book Network (NBN), Hachette Book Group, Simon & Schuster, and Independent Publishers Group (IPG)—proving the authenticity of our products. These are the rights holders themselves, and they’re ready to confirm our invoices.

Even more concerning, all ASINs flagged in the original takedown have been retracted (or are being retracted) by the publishers, citing errors on their part. Despite this, Amazon has failed to act.

This inaction has forced us to:

- Furlough 80% of our staff, spanning three countries.

- Suffer $2,000,000 in losses, with devastating impacts on our business and employees.

BTW Global, LLC has been a trusted partner of Amazon for 11 years, operating with integrity and full compliance with your policies. Yet, we are being sidelined during the most critical sales period of the year, jeopardizing the livelihoods of our team and our company’s future.

Amazon, this is not acceptable. We demand that our account be reinstated immediately. Your actions—or lack thereof—directly contradict your commitment to being “customer-obsessed.”

Our employees and their families, as well as our loyal customers, deserve better. This is a matter of survival for a small business that has worked tirelessly to contribute to your platform.

We urge @Amazon leadership to step in and resolve this NOW.

URGENT: Amazon issued an unwanted DISPOSAL order of 4250 units ($30k) of stranded inventory - Order ID: 3JKeNjLvdX. Seller support says they can’t cancel it. We need the stock sent to our warehouse, not DISPOSED of! Please cancel the removal order! @amznsellerhelp @dharmeshmehta

[Paul Bristow @pbristow]

@Kikilahlah @amznsellerhelp @dharmeshmehta Happened to me last month too, $22k worth of inventory auto removed by Amzn because they spent 6 weeks reviewing a compliance docs that should have taken 48hrs! Come on @dharmeshmehta @amznsellerhelp why won’t you cancel removal orders when another Amzn dept screws up?

Amazon just dropped a secret price increase by pushing logistics costs and work to its small business sellers

Here's why it's a disaster for everyone involved (Consumers, Sellers, Amazon):

1. It's going to raise prices on the Amazon platform.

Last week we shipped our inventory to Amazon for $0.17/unit. This week, between their "placement fee" and the additional shipping charges from shipping to multiple and faraway fulfillment centers, we are seeing costs of around $1.00/unit. Since Amazon takes 15% of any price increase we do, we'll need to increase our prices by at least $1 per unit (if not more), increasing our prices on average around 6%. We cannot afford to eat this cost. We're not Amazon. Our sales and profits are down in a very tough market. At $0.83 additional costs per unit and around 400,000 units sold, we will have to absorb around $300,000 of extra costs per year.

2. It's not "Climate Pledge Friendly".

Amazon prides itself in what it does to reduce its burden on the environment; they even named an arena in seattle "Climate Pledge Arena" because of their work on this issue. By having sellers ship to 5 faraway fulfillment centers instead of shipping to one nearby fulfillment center, by relying on sellers' weak, mostly non-robotic, un-scaled operations, they are increasing CO2 emissions and logistics costs. Last week we had one Amazon pick-up, by making 5 shipments the lowest cost, we will have 5 trucks come to our warehouse, each belching emissions into the air. It's not efficient or good for the environment.

3. It greatly increases the amount of labor needed to do the same job.

Amazon is quoting lower prices for "small parcel" (think UPS and FedEx) than it is for palletized shipments. When you're shipping 150 boxes, it just doesn't make sense to pay people to load each box one by one, instead of using pallets, but by charging less for this, that is what Amazon is encouraging us to do. The increased workload from this, multiple pickups (because UPS can't pickup 150 large boxes with a single pickup), and the additional labelling and tracking costs adds further costs to sellers and doesn't even make Amazon's operations more efficient.

4. It's a massive increase in complexity.

Last week we created a shipment in Texas and were given a warehouse in Texas to deliver to. This week, we created a shipment and were given the following options to optimize for:

A. Small parcel or pallets or mixed small parcels and pallets
B. Ship to 1, 3, or 5 warehouses
C. Ship from the inbound region of east, west, or central

Each of these options could be combined and was given a different placement fee and shipping cost.

We have to keep our costs low so we tried to check them all.

The problem is that, there are 2*5*3 = 30 different combinations of how to do this, each with their own price and each with totally different workflows. How many pallets do we need? How many picklists? How many labels. It's all different.

Even worse, each location has its own delivery speed so how can we forecast when our inventory will arrive so we stay in stock?

What's the bottom line?

Amazon needs to get its inventory distributed around the country, but if they're going to push this work to sellers, then lower your fees so sellers don't have to increase their prices.

If Amazon wants to charge more for this, don't introduce a secret fee that is impossible to explain to people who don't live and die supply chain. Just keep it real and increase the storage fees or the fulfillment fees.

A competitor on Amazon took down our hero ASIN by filing a false copyright infringement claim on all our listing images, despite our copyright registration and three-plus years of use. As a small family business, this is devastating.
