Model complete fulfillment cost

Include product cost, current fulfillment and storage charges, platform fees, commissions, discounts and your own return experience. Use measured package dimensions. Label assumptions separately from confirmed program fees.

Plan inbound and replenishment

Confirm identifiers, packaging, labeling and the accepted shipment process. Reserve stock for samples and other sales channels. Allow for receiving time and replenishment lead time when deciding how much inventory to commit.

Prepare for slow or restricted stock

Document who handles receiving discrepancies, returns and product restrictions. Review current removal and storage terms before shipment. The workflow should remain manageable if demand is below the forecast.

Summary

Complete one SKU's cost model and inbound checklist before committing a wider catalog.
