Confirmed

FBA shipment issues

Damp Seal White 500ml

Barcode issue still open. Sam and Kay are working with the account manager on it daily.

Burnside will relabel 408 units with the ASIN barcode so they can go into Amazon while the final cases are with Amazon, as Lucas wants this moving. Dispatch expected next week. Pattern still has stock.

Barcode

Masonry Black 500ml

Same barcode issue. 120 units have been sent into Amazon with the ASIN barcode while the fix is worked through.

Barcode

Clear Lacquer 1 Litre

Only limited quantities can be sent in. Amazon has the product classified as non dangerous when it should be dangerous goods.

FBA claims and reimbursement

£553.39 has been repaid for 5 of the 9 shipments. The other 4 are still being worked on.

Asked Seorge to check whether the missing units include Dampseal 500ml White, Masonry Paint Black 500ml and Clear Lacquer 1 Litre, as we most likely will not have sent those.

A high level update on the cases will go out every Friday, with Naveen tagged.

Decision
Sep10

TTI: our labels rather than printed cans

Kazim to ask TTI about putting our labels on silver or white cans instead of printed cans.

Also asking whether the MOQ on spray paints is flexible, so we do not have to pay the full amount up front.

MOQ

TTI China, six month outlook

Kazim to share our projections for the next 6 months so TTI know our numbers.

Open

WB (water based) direct from China

Kazim to explore sending WB products straight from China into Amazon UK, skipping the UK warehouse leg.
