Does this mean they get priority during receiving? As there are many posts from sellers about FBA items taking weeks to get checked in once it has already arrived.

You guys cant guarantee anything!
You will make more return for us, seller that buyers will complaint they did not receive the product in time.

Does this only apply to items that are marked as “inbound” to a fulfillment center? Or, will this let customers order items that are out of stock, not inbound to a fulfillment center, that we don’t intend to restock but Amazon wants us to restock? I’m guessing the former will be the most sensible but just making sure as this could be very beneficial to us.

I am going to give it a try
We have been behind since early June and just cant get ahead on replenishment hopefully this helps with that 1-2 week gap and the check in time

This seems like a good program for FBA sellers… Are there any drawbacks that I missed? (Extra fees, no buy box consideration etc)

Why would you not enroll it there is nothing to lose, In-Stock Head Start pilot program helps you in case if you run out of stock for couple days

This is not new. They’ve been doing this for FBA sellers for a long time. Maybe it’s the first time FBA sellers can opt into this but Amazon has been offering buyers backordered items headed to an FBA warehouse for as long as I remember.

I think my concern with enrolling would be if they would change the destinations for our shipments. Right now most of our FBA shipments go to a warehouse in our state. If they want to make the item available for the customer faster are they going to require us to break apart our case packs and ship them all over the US? That could cost a lot more.

Enrollment was approved I will see how it goes
