00:07:17	sally fasano:	Go Ben!
00:07:26	Robyn Stuart:	Hello BEN!
00:07:35	Tracy & Tony Modrono:	Hi Ben!
00:07:42	Julie Neil:	Hi Ben :)
00:08:16	Rosie:	Hi Ben
00:09:27	Tani Knight:	That was my first "prediction"... the permanent closure of Myer and/or DJs
00:09:44	Jane Leadbeater:	Myer and DJs had already screwed themselves pre-COVID due to not sorting out their online platform.
00:09:58	Tani Knight:	Yep, this is the nail in the coffin
00:10:09	Sally Scarlett:	Has Amazon lifted its ban on incoming inventory?
00:10:16	Florian:	Love it Georgia!
00:10:29	Jane Leadbeater:	Some products - I can send mine in again now and it’s not essential.
00:10:39	Georgia Watt:	Hehehe had to give you a run for your money, Florian ;-)
00:10:57	Sally Scarlett:	Ok great Thanks Jane
00:11:22	Florian:	You wait, Georgia, big things in the making…
00:11:35	Georgia Watt:	Game on Florian.... game on ;-)
00:12:14	Florian:	Next week…
00:13:54	Georgia Watt:	OK, you win. Torn between returning another smartarse response and saying tell me more/good luck! :) 
00:14:30	Florian:	Same for me, surprisingly sales have increased, even though Amazon doesn’t ship my products before 27th April.
00:15:43	Soula & Angelo:	Hey Ben 👋 looking forward to tonight!
00:16:37	Georgia Watt:	Good thing that Ben. Sending off two shipments in the next few days ;-)
00:20:27	Neale & Di Tayler:	the 75% statement vs LLC is that pallet loaded?
00:21:42	Dewi Tjiu:	bravo. good on you Ben 👍👊👊👍 so happy for you
00:21:50	Shaz:	Brilliant Ben!
00:21:59	Robyn Stuart:	Thank you Ben .. very generous
00:22:12	Soula & Angelo:	amazing !! well done Ben
00:22:13	Marisa Orfanidis:	Is it always 40 foot? 20 Foot considered ?
00:22:34	Jane Leadbeater:	Sorry didn’t catch the break even point?
00:22:56	grant brown:	Is it intentional that you are not trying to fill the container?
00:23:14	Jane Leadbeater:	My last LCL shipment was $2500!
00:23:41	Georgia Watt:	https://www.freightos.com/freight-resources/what-is-lcl-shipping-the-complete-guide/

(check out the LCL vs FCL section of this page. Totally supports what Ben's saying. 15CBM is the sweet spot. 
00:23:55	Michael:	my key takeout is that shipping with empty space can still make sense floor load
00:24:02	Aaron & Stella Sutherland:	Thanks Georgia
00:24:11	Jane Leadbeater:	Amazing. Never imagined this could be the case.
00:24:56	Yvonne Drazic:	Thanks Ben and thanks for the link, Georgia :)
00:33:25	John:	That's what I had to do with 800 of my products
00:34:39	sally fasano:	this can depend on your size as well. oversized and single box/carton can be expensive to refill from 3PL but smaller product that can fit more in a carton is lower cost to send in from 3PL and more viable
00:34:58	Florian:	and max 150 units per MC
00:36:18	leanne rozon:	pallet height maximum is 72 inch. Amazing logistics stops at 71
00:36:21	sally fasano:	great tips Ben
00:36:31	Delwyn:	oh -don't apologise, just kids'
00:36:56	Stephanie:	Great presentation Ben!  Such great info.
00:37:00	Yvonne Drazic:	No need to apologise, it's cute :)
00:37:16	Michael:	also as a reminder, max pallet height needs to incorporate the height of the pallet itself
00:37:38	Delwyn:	great tip, thanks Micheal
00:38:26	Georgia Watt:	Which is usually 6 inches (for a standard pallet). Hence why AMZ FBA limit is 72 inches, but minus 6 = 66.
00:38:52	Jane Leadbeater:	My $2500 shipment was only 9.125 cbm 😳😳😳
00:39:34	Michael:	I think this is another reason for building scale with less suppliers
00:39:38	Lupita!:	ohh noooo Jane!!...well...now you know!
00:39:50	Rose Frankcomb:	Some factories and locations can use HC container i my experience too. eg if they have additional internal China shipping freight …
00:40:07	Neale & Di Tayler:	THanks Ben
00:40:08	Rose Frankcomb:	well done BEN! Great show
00:40:09	sally fasano:	Your awesome Ben!

00:42:03	Ian Holme:	This is so helpful Ben, thank you mate!
00:42:19	Joel and Ellie:	Thanks so much Ben and congrats on your success :)
00:43:34	Delwyn:	so if you move less than 400 units per month you get penalised? 
00:44:41	Rosie:	@Delwyn, if your inventory index is less than 400 amz will penalise you
00:44:46	Tani Knight:	I think it referred to the Inventory Index, Delwyn, not directly related to units
00:44:59	Delwyn:	ah ok, thanks Rosie & Tani
00:45:04	Delwyn:	had me worried for a bit
00:45:16	Robyn Stuart:	What formula Ben??????
00:46:23	leanne rozon:	Ben, are your pallets from Amazing a mixture of different SKUs?
00:47:32	sally fasano:	Delwyn its not units. its based on a few metrics like stock turn over, inventory levels and another I can remember. there is a report in Amazon that shows these
00:47:56	Delwyn:	nope
00:47:57	Stephanie:	Not asleep
00:47:59	Robyn Stuart:	Nope … head blowing up[
00:48:03	Michael:	no way, best session and topic
00:48:38	Michael:	i recommend developing product specs sheet per product - we call it 'fact sheets'
00:48:52	Rose Frankcomb:	per unit! Yes but int in a spreadsheet -
00:49:16	Georgia Watt:	Wayno, the planning spreadsheet on the Platinum Resources has all of these formulas in it.
00:49:43	Delwyn:	Thanks Sally - I'll check it out
00:50:07	sally fasano:	sorry Wayne missed your question before. kids 
00:51:03	Jane Leadbeater:	So the 4% increase in cost is offset by the flexibility of 3PL???
00:51:10	Ben Feng:	Yes
00:51:15	Robyn Stuart:	Thanks Georgia .. good reminder
00:53:49	Jane Birdsall:	Thank you Ben for your great insight into this process.
00:54:33	Rose Frankcomb:	I found my calc using 1 x sKU/pallet was 9 pallet but Amazon logistics put them in to 6 pallet and significantly less LCL trucking cost. Weight may pay a part here
00:55:14	virginia:	Ben, thanks for all your shared information. It had been a really useful and informative campfire!
00:56:43	Stephanie:	great question Jane!
00:56:58	Georgia Watt:	Happy Birthday Lupita for yesterday :) 
00:56:58	Wendy porter:	we've lost Ben
00:57:35	Stephanie:	I second that Georgia - Happy Birthday Lupita :-)
00:58:45	Florian:	https://hts.usitc.gov/?query=
00:59:22	Jules:	ask your freight forwarder to ask their customs agent
00:59:55	Georgia Watt:	Another handy link to calculate duty - you can browse HS Codes too by category:

https://www.freightos.com/freight-resources/import-duty-calculator/
01:00:07	Zheng Chong:	I use this guy on upwork for HTS code checks. https://www.upwork.com/fl/johnburhans2
01:00:07	Mark Waite:	I asked my freight forwarder and they connected with their US Customs Broker to help me confirm my HTS code
01:00:15	Georgia Watt:	HS Code Lookup tool:

https://www.freightos.com/freight-resources/harmonized-system-code-finder-hs-code-lookup/
01:00:27	Robyn Stuart:	Jane - use your phone for WeChat - doesn’t need the qr code
01:00:40	Gilbert Mane:	When I ask our forwarder, they sent me back to our supplier. They weren’t helpful at all.
01:00:46	Lewis & Lyn:	Yes John Burhans 
01:01:16	grant brown:	the site that Florian provided has a Chinese code lookup too
01:01:57	Jane Leadbeater:	Robyn it was on my phone actually!

01:06:06	Robyn Stuart:	Right
01:06:09	Robyn Stuart:	Gold
01:06:35	Marisa Orfanidis:	You can also send in stock by using an old shipping plan that you didn’t use but failed to delete
