New Amazon sellers often wonder if they should trust Amazon’s restock recommendations. In this video, Noah Wickham walks through when it's okay to follow Amazon’s suggested inventory numbers and when you should start using your own forecasting method. He also covers the pros and cons of using FBM alongside FBA to avoid stockouts, how to handle regional FBA restrictions, and how to export inventory globally from the UK, UAE, and Australia.

You’ll also learn how to monitor inventory between AWD and FBA, what to do when inventory is available in some regions but not others, and how long it actually takes for Amazon to check in your products after arrival, especially during Q4. These tips will help you avoid downtime, improve fulfillment planning, and stay in stock longer without losing sales.
