03 Strategies for Different Stages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Phase 1: New Product Testing Period<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do not recommend sending large quantities of FBL inventory directly to the warehouse. Start by testing with self-fulfillment or small FBL batches\u2014establish a closed-loop process from \u201cproduct selection \u2192 order fulfillment\u201d\u2014and only increase the volume of FBL inventory sent to the warehouse after confirming that there is stable demand for the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phase Two: Steady Order Flow Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are proven bestsellers; we recommend adding them to your FBL inventory. Improved logistics ratings, increased search weight, and higher conversion rates\u2014these three factors occur simultaneously, creating a virtuous cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We use a hybrid model combining \u201cFBL as the main channel + self-fulfillment as a supplement.\u201d All core bestsellers are stocked in the warehouse to ensure traffic, while long-tail products are self-fulfilled to reduce inventory risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
04 Three Key Points to Note When Entering the FBL Warehouse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n
Verify product compliance before warehousing:<\/strong> Mexico has strict certification requirements (NOM certification) for electronics, food-contact products, and children\u2019s products. If uncertified products are discovered after being delivered to the warehouse, they will be destroyed in their entirety, and storage fees will still be charged.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Conservative estimate for the first shipment:<\/strong> When stocking your warehouse for the first time, don\u2019t aim for \u201cbulk discounts\u201d; start by ordering 2\u20134 weeks\u2019 worth of estimated sales. If sales are strong, restock; if sales are slow, clear out the inventory promptly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pay attention to the storage rate tiers:<\/strong> FBL storage fees increase based on the length of time inventory has been in storage\u2014the longer it stays, the more it costs. For inventory that has been in storage for more than 90 days, storage rates rise significantly, eating into your profits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
