Amazon US FBA updates
USSV02-JUL, all three parts
All three parts are checked in in full. Part 1 1,450 units against 1,430 sent, Part 2 1,414 against 1,412, Part 3 1,443 against 1,462.
4,307 units received against 4,304 sent, so the shipment is effectively complete and can be closed off.
USA container numbers
Ran through the numbers on the USA container with Tom.
US inbound, Central and East Coast
Central and East Coast inbound is confirmed now the 3PL sits in Ohio, and Rida has the recorded FBA costs.
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.
Masonry Black 500ml
Same barcode issue. 120 units have been sent into Amazon with the ASIN barcode while the fix is worked through.
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.
Case ID 13238131332
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.

Batch 15 order review
The Batch 15 order review with Kazim is still to happen.
Multipack options for other lines
Asked Kazim to review multipack options for the rest of the range, with the multipack sales so far attached.
5 of the 17 packs have sold since they went live, 18 units and £1,119.82.
1 Litre & 2.5 Litre Waterproofing Sealant
Coming off the plan while the reimbursement and the samples are settled.
- Remove from the Container Plan for October
- Reimbursement from TTI on Batch 14, since the product would be delisted
- Samples to be sent for the reformulated version
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.
TTI China, six month outlook
Kazim to share our projections for the next 6 months so TTI know our numbers.
WB (water based) direct from China
Kazim to explore sending WB products straight from China into Amazon UK, skipping the UK warehouse leg.
eVenturing follow up
eVenturing UK weekly review
Ran the weekly review with eVenturing.
- Re-forecast this week and provide the updates
- Multipack analysis
- Buy Box, 41 units on Priority and Growth lines
- If we stop advertising, how would we see it and what would the impact be
- LeakFix Paint, merging with Feltseal
LeakFix Fibred Roof Coating and LeakFix Liquid Rubber
Polar is out of stock on both while Pattern still has stock.
Change the listing and add Packaging May Vary so the Pattern units can keep selling.
Pattern UK Brand Registry
Closed off Pattern's Brand Registry access for UK and US, changed from Brand Rep to Reseller.
Lucas and Sam informed on Asana.
US DG storage for spray and paint
The DG storage document is with Sam for Rose. Flammable 336.14 ft3, asking for 60% more than we plan to send so the limit does not need raising again in Q4.
Pattern stock and Buy Box
Pattern holds the Buy Box on 97 listings, 54 of which are discontinued lines.
Discontinued items have gone to Rida to decide where we need to win the Buy Box back from Pattern.
New product content
Bathroom Paint and Anti Mould Acrylic Paint. Waiting on SEO, title and main renders.
Multipack SKUs: Direct to Rust Gloss Black
Make sure the multipack listing carries the old infographics, the old renders and the A+ content.
Vine enrolment, 1 Litre
New products only.
Adhoc notes
3PL and direct shipping
Burnside confirmed they can now ship 20 Litre paint.
Still waiting on APC prices for the FBM launch, and on a solution for LQ products where the maximum is a 5L outer.
Courier for FBM
Chased Seb for an update, as we want to launch Feltseal FBM.
UAE stock: Radiator Satin Anthracite, SKU 1144-1
64 boxes at Burnside. Emailed Burnside and sent Seb a follow up.
- Create a new SKU, separate from the parent, to sell it on its own
- Keep it off the parent listing
Marketplace expansion proposal
The proposal and the assortment are being written this week. Kazim is working on the COGS.
QVC Polar Coating
Rescheduled to 19 to 23 October.
