Placement Fees - splitting into 5 equal shipments suddenly not working

Since the new placement fees went into effect, we have been having success with splitting our shipments into 5 equal boxes.... several sku's in each box with the same quantity of each sku in each box. We have had no placement fees with this approach.

Until last night. Suddenly this is no longer working and even though we set it up with the 5 separate boxes, after the confirmation the only option it's giving is to put everything in one box with the maximum placement fees. I double-checked my inbound placement settings and it is still set correctly to amazon-optimized shipments.

Has anyone else had this happen? Or any suggestions?? We set up workflows every Monday and it has been fine until yesterday.

Greetings @Seller_tc9WI0dfiIulx,

Thank you for taking the time to post! Inbound placement options will be provided only when your shipments qualify. It's possible that some of the factors for your shipment may have changed (beyond just having the same set quantity of SKUs per box). Factors that affect the number of inbound options include the following:

  • Whether your shipment includes a mix of standard-size items, non-standard-size items, or special handling categories
  • Whether each box contains the same mix and quantities of SKUs
  • Quantities and number of boxes for each item
  • Geographical demand

To maximize the number of inbound options, try the following:

  • Create separate shipments for standard-size items, non-standard-size items, and each special handling category
  • Ensure that the item mix and item quantities are equal across all boxes
  • Increase the number of boxes

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any follow up!

- Bryce
