Inbound FBA shipment successfully received

So you’ve just sent in an FBA shipment to Amazon and tracking shows that it has been successfully received. Hooray! That’s usually a cause for celebration because you’re one step closer to getting those sweet sales rolling in. But wait, why does your inventory still show 0 units even though the shipment was received?

Possible reasons for inventory showing 0 units

There can be a few reasons why your inventory is still showing 0 units even after your FBA shipment has been received. It could be that the receiving process hasn’t been completed yet by Amazon. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for them to process all the incoming shipments and update the inventory count. Or it could be that there was some sort of mix-up or error during the receiving process which led to your inventory not getting updated correctly.

What to do if your inventory shows 0 units

First things first, don’t panic. This kind of stuff happens all the time with Amazon and usually gets sorted out pretty quickly. The best thing to do is to give it a day or two and check back to see if your inventory count has been updated. If it’s still showing 0 units after that, then it might be time to reach out to Seller Support and inquire about the status of your shipment. They should be able to look into it for you and provide some clarification on why your inventory is still showing 0 units.

Preventing inventory issues in the future

To avoid running into this kind of issue in the future, make sure to double-check all your shipments before sending them off to Amazon. Make sure all the units are properly labeled and packaged, and that the contents of the shipment match what is listed in your shipping plan. This can help minimize the chances of any errors occurring during the receiving process and ensure that your inventory gets updated correctly once it reaches the fulfillment center.
