bought amazon shipping (fedex -> usps), but usps picked it up, and package now stuck in limbo
Sharing a situation in case it helps anyone in the community if it happens to them.
I am selling a product on Amazon, seller-fulfilled using a fulfillment service.
I purchased the shipping from Amazon for an order as usual. It was for Fedex Ground Economy.
That was about 3 weeks ago.
A few weeks ago, Amazon emails me that my VTR is below standard. I’m thinking WTF, I ship *always* within the “ship by” date. And after navigating to some page in seller central and downloading a spreadsheet, i find the order #.
Tracking at amz seller central says the package was picked up, and nothing more.
My fulfillment guy tells me to check the USPS tracking (turns out this is one of those shipments where Fedex picks it up and hands it off at some point to USPS). USPS tracking says it is being held waiting for postage payment. WTF??
It took several support chats and calls to figure it out.
It looks like USPS picked up the package, not Fedex. Which is why they have no postage/payment. I don’t know who USPS is trying to contact to get the payment, I have not heard from them.
Amazon says they can’t do anything about it.
USPS call centre says they can’t do anything about it.
My fulfillment guy is going to contact their USPS contact.
I’m going to cancel / claim a refund on the shipping and for the “lost” order and ship a new one to the customer if they still want it. And see if Amazon will reset my VTR coz this sure wasn’t my fault.
Anyhow, I hope this doesn’t happen to you. And if it does, hopefully you will remember my story and it will save you some time figuring out what the heck happened.

Let’s Go the Amazon Accelerator Way!
Feel like you’re working harder but not growing faster? The Amazon Accelerator program gets you growing again.
Although reaching $750K to $7.5M on Amazon is an impressive feat, it’s also the point where many brands hit a growth ceiling. Ad performance plateaus, margins shrink, new product launches stall.
If that sounds familiar, our Accelerator Program is just what you need to break out of your plateau.
What is Amazon Accelerator?
Our team of Amazon consultants built the Accelerator program to help brands unlock their full potential on Amazon.
We’ve helped over 500 brands increase their Amazon sales by an average of 75% year-over-year, thanks to our proven advertising framework, hands-on support, and performance-driven execution.
Whether you’ve hit a plateau managing Amazon in-house, or your current Amazon consulting agency isn’t delivering results, Amazon Accelerator is designed to deliver real, measurable growth.
What Causes a Plateau?
Growth stalls for different reasons, but the common culprits include:
- Inefficient advertising. You’re spending more to make the same—or less.
- Listing fatigue. Your pages aren’t converting like they used to.
- Operational overload. You’re launching new SKUs without scalable systems.
- Siloed teams. Marketing, inventory, and PPC aren’t aligned.
- Lack of clear data. You’re making decisions without visibility into what’s actually driving performance.
The brands that grow past this stage are the ones who optimize for systems, not just sales.
Who is this program for?
Amazon Accelerator is aimed to scale your brand. It’s suited for sellers already with amazon, who’re looking into how they can increase their market share.
- 7- and 8-figure brands currently selling on Amazon.
- Teams that have traction but need structure, insight, and bandwidth to grow
- Brands working with agencies that lack strategic depth or execution.
- Companies ready to invest in scaling ad performance with a high-ROI partner.
- DTC or retail-first brands expanding into Amazon at scale.
- Ecommerce leaders who want to unlock scale without chaos.
If you’re a part of our Amazon Accelerator program, we’ll provide you with the key guidance and support you’ll need to surpass your growth plateau.

Amazon Q4 2025 Prep Timeline: Monthly Checklist for Black Friday and Holiday Sales
If you wait until October to start prepping for Q4, you’re already behind. Amazon’s biggest sales season—Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the entire December rush—requires strategic prep that starts now.
Use this month-by-month Amazon Q4 2025 prep checklist to get ahead of your competitors, lock in your most profitable inventory, and crush your ad performance when it matters most.
Quick Guide
August: Forecast, Fix, and Finalize
Goal: Get your data in order and prepare listings and inventory before the deadlines creep up.
- Use Seller Labs Restock App to forecast based on last Q4’s sales and July’s Prime Day momentum
- Identify your top-margin holiday SKUs using Seller Labs SKU Economics
- Begin listing optimizations—focus on titles, images, and bullet copy for seasonal relevance
- Run A/B tests for main product images and value-based bullet points
- Start keyword research with a focus on giftable, seasonal, and trend-driven terms
- Confirm key FBA deadlines for inbound shipments
Pro Tip: Don’t waste time or fees on dead SKUs. Prune your catalog now so your best products get priority storage and visibility.
September: Submit, Schedule, and Scale
Goal: Get your deals, ad campaigns, and inventory into the system before the October bottleneck.
- Send FBA inventory to Amazon by mid-September
- Submit Lightning Deal and 7-Day Deal requests for Black Friday and Cyber Monday
- Schedule Sponsored Product and Sponsored Brand campaigns for holiday SKUs
- Launch videos using Amazon Video Builder (free tool!) – Read our blog on How to Use Amazon Video Builder
- Start layering in coupons and testing pricing thresholds
Pro Tip: September is the best time to ramp up Sponsored Display retargeting before CPCs rise in November.
October: Optimize and Go on Offense
Goal: Dial in campaigns, boost conversions, and capture early holiday shoppers.
- Analyze PPC data weekly—cut what’s underperforming
- Refresh listings with holiday keywords like “Christmas gifts for dad” or “2025 holiday planner”
- Run coupon experiments to lift conversion rates
- Leverage FBM for select SKUs if FBA space gets tight
Pro Tip: October shoppers are planners. They convert early—target them with “gifts for her,” “gifts for teens,” etc.
November & December: Defend the Buy Box and Stay Stocked
Goal: Monitor margins and logistics daily while riding peak traffic.
- Use Ad Genius to monitor for CPC spikes and placement shifts
- Check SKU Economics daily to avoid losing margin on low-ROI ads
- Adjust FBM fulfillment times and shipping promises based on region
- Track price wars during BFCM weekend and respond quickly
- Plan for returns surge and post-holiday liquidation in late December
Pro Tip: Use automated Buy Box monitoring tools to alert you to hijackers, suppressions, and price undercuts in real time.
Q4 Survival Tips Every Seller Should Know
- Avoid major listing edits in November—they can trigger suppressions
- Use alerts for restock warnings, ad overspend, and inventory aging
- Keep at least one fast-moving SKU FBM-eligible as a backup

Wait for Trademark/Brand Registry before creating shipping plan?
I am currently waiting on samples from 3 different manufacturers that should arrive next week. This is a PL label product (my first). Should I file for trademark/brand registry before creating my shipping plan (need shipping plan for Amazon FBA warehouse address for quotes). Do I need to wait for application approval or just pending approval? Thanks in advance!

Has anybody sued Amazon as seller on here before? (UK)
A little about me : I am UK based, UK Citizen born and bred etc etc
My company on companies house is based here everything is done through the UK
About 6 months ago, Amazon blocked my account saying they did not believe I was based in the UK.
My account has 4k in funds on hold
I have provided the evidence they need, proof of company, proof of warehouse, proof of myself etc this was done via email and a video chat (They saw me I did not see them)
They are still saying I am not UK based
The easy option would be small claims, but this is Amazon and I have googled similar stories where they claim they are not Amazon UK but Amazon EU based in Luxembourg and I need to sue them
Just seeing if anybody else has gone the legal route with Amazon and what did you do?

Can you face infringement penalties if you didn’t create the listing?
I am trying to get started selling on Amazon. Let’s say I buy 10 boxes of brand name coffee K cups from Kohls and use the online invoice to get degated and then list it under someone else’s listing as a secondary seller, could I still face penalties for trademark infringement since I don’t have an LOA from the manufacturer (Even though I didn’t create the listing myself)?
