the horrible Placement fee

Working with this monster is already impossible! They rob sellers at absolutely every stage of the process. And now this placement fee… it’s just insane! The placement fee is now more expensive than shipping from china to the U.S. Can you imagine? A shipment traveling 20,000 miles costs less than this ridiculous placement fee!

And this isn’t even domestic shipping within the U.S.—it’s just permission to send to one warehouse instead of five. In my case its 1500$ for just 1 shipment!!!

If I have a small shipment of 10 units and want to send it to Amazon, they make me ship to the farthest five states, two units per location. That means I have to buy five labels instead of one!

Why stop there? Why not force us to ship to 100 warehouses instead of five? If I have to buy five labels, the product is no longer profitable. And it’s the same with the placement fee—you pay extra to send to one warehouse, but they still place it on the opposite side of the country!

Why?! Why should I overpay just to send my products to you? This is not profitable in any scenario, and the only option left is to raise prices again. How can you compete with Chinese marketplaces? They don’t have such outrageous fees like you do. They will win!
