I think I screwed myself by selling cat food on Amazon AU

Real talk: I finally realized the problem isn’t customers. It’s the category I stupidly chose.

Cat food = the worst product you can possibly sell on Amazon.

Why? • Heavy → FBA fees insane • Low margin → can’t absorb mistakes • High shipping cost → FBM is a joke • High INR risk → drivers dump it and walk away • High theft risk → apartments eat packages for breakfast • Replacements → you lose twice • INR/A-to-Z → you auto-lose every time

Basically:

Any delivery issue = guaranteed loss. Every. Single. Time.

No other category punishes mistakes this hard.

Now I understand why big sellers never touch heavy pet products. The math literally doesn’t work.

Anyone here actually surviving selling cat food/heavy pet items on Amazon AU? How the hell are you handling INR and replacements without bleeding out?
