wow so behind me is 61 pairs of shoes
mostly nike some adidas i bought these
in another video on the channel that you
may have seen but we
have plans to sell these on amazon for
profit but we're not going to store them
here
in my warehouse we're going to ship
these off to amazon utilizing their
amazon fba program that stands for
fulfillment by
amazon they are going to store these
they are going to ship them to our
customers and we are going to make
no less than 50 roi and as much as 100
to 150
roi on all of these shoes breezy resell
follow the hustle so in this video i'm
going to show you how we use a software
called
inventory lab to make it fast to list
these items and get them sent off to
amazon
if you don't use a software like
inventory lab and you want to just use
amazon's platform or a spreadsheet to
list that's fine but be prepared to pull
your hair out and it's going to take you
forever so inventory labs is 50
a month it's well worth it i definitely
recommend you should check out pretty
much the gold standard for large retail
arbitrage and online arbitrage amazon
sellers
enough of me jibber jabbing let's start
scanning some barcodes let's go do that
first things first we have to organize
all of these shoes so that we can list
them
into inventory lab properly if it has
the same barcode we are going to put it
together so all of the shoes that are
the same shoe
and the same color and the same size
will have the same barcode those will
get stacked together that way when we do
go to list it we can say quantity three
quantity 10 and then just scan one
barcode and inventory lab will print out
three or ten stickers
basically it saves us a lot of time and
you don't wanna list the same thing
multiple times on amazon it's actually
against the rules you want to condense
everything by making sure you put in
the right amount of quantity then we're
gonna actually make it over to the
computer
we're just getting started and i already
have a huge pro tip for you guys
most of these shoes came from the nike
factory store but we did go to marshalls
and get some
shoes from marshalls and when we process
shoes from marshalls there's a couple
things we have to do that's a little bit
different than nike check it out
over there one of the problems when you
buy shoes from marshalls
is that on the receipt from marshalls it
doesn't say
adidas court red and blue striped shoes
it just has
a number on the receipt that number
actually matches this
number on the marshall's retail tag now
the reason that is super
important is because if for some reason
amazon or a customer says
that you are selling counterfeit shoes
or you are selling shoes that are used
as new
you have to prove authenticity or prove
the newness
of the item retail receipts from stores
will save your butt
and you should always save them scan
them keep a copy of them
but in the case of marshall's items the
receipt just says marshalls225211175
it doesn't actually say this shoe so
that will not save your app
so you do what we do which is you set
the shoes up
nice like this on the box with the
marshalls tag
visible and then you take a photograph
of it and you store it in your dropbox
in your google drive that way if amazon
ever does say these shoes are fake these
shoes aren't new
you can give them two images you give
them the image of the receipt from
marshalls and that will have the line
item number that represents these shoes
you're gonna highlight that number and
then you're gonna show them the photo
of these shoes and check it out the
photo is gonna obviously
show that you have these shoes and that
they're brand new
and i recommend taking it on the box
like this because it also shows that you
have the box there's a barcode on the
box that matches the barcode on the
shoes right here
and the barcode on the receipt matches
the marshall's retail
tag right there so this photo right here
like
plus your receipt that'll save your butt
now also if you've ever bought shoes
at marshalls they do come with the price
tag and you're going to want to take
that price tag off you do not want your
customer to know
that these shoes were 29.99 at marshalls
when you're gonna sell them for a
hundred on amazon but also
marshall's marks the bottom of the shoes
there is a
30 in silver sharpie right here just
says hey these are 30 and it's to
protect them if people steal their price
tags off there we're gonna get that off
the way that you get that off is with a
drop of goobie gone just one drop
put it on a clean rag swirl it around it
will come right
off but do not use much more than a drop
because it's super greasy that will take
it off very fast so we got to take those
photos for all the shoes
that we are selling on amazon if you
have 10 pairs you don't need 10 photos
but we need one for each
different upc code to save us in case
amazon makes that claim
fortunately we don't have to do that
with all the nikes because we have way
more of them like i said we're going to
get to this some point
[Music]
it's another pro tip if you buy enough
shoes and you have good relationship
with the shoe stores ask them if they
give you a stack of tissue paper so that
on these super busted up ones you can
replace the tissue paper to make it look
even more brand new present your product
as nicely as possible you can already
see
once you put it on and you rub it in it
starts melting it
almost done now that they're scanned in
and we are listing them on amazon we are
going to get this marshall's tag off and
it was important to leave it on till now
because this is
in my opinion the easiest way to keep
track of what you paid for these shoes
or these items
[Music]
very important rubber band the box shut
that way between
us and the customer including its
journey through the post office the
shoes don't fall out if they fall out
one time they're basically going to be
super dirty and be ruined you do not
want them to fall out in the warehouse
we use these rubber bands no i'm not
being endorsed or paid for this but go
grab these ones this is a staples number
33 rubber band this is a one pound bag
three and a half inches by 1
8 inches i have another size these are
the number 64. don't get these they
don't work they will not fit around a
box 33
in the game also i'm using the canon m50
the legit vlogging camera which i
haven't used for a while i've been
being a little lazy guys using the gopro
and using my iphone so
if you appreciate this quality from this
camera compared to the
recent videos comment down there and let
me know tell me to quit being a lazy
butt all right it's time to go to town
nike town that is we're gonna organize
these and do what we just did with the
marshall stuff
except it's gonna be much faster because
we don't have to
rip price tags off and we also don't
have to clean off the soles
some of them have this price tags on
them and we just need to hit it with a
heat gun
to take those off it's going to hit it
with a little bit of heat
the way inventory lab works couldn't
really be any simpler you scan the
barcode in it says hey is this the item
you click yes that is the item you put
in your quantity you put in the price
you paid
you click your supplier what store you
purchased it from what date you bought
it on what tax you paid
any of this information you had all that
information then you click add to batch
and it prints your stickers out on your
thermal printer this is the dymo 450
turbo for those of you that need to know
then you take the stickers you cover up
the barcode on the item on the product
the upc
and then you package it and send it off
to amazon now it's a little bit more
detailed than that we're near done
scanning everything in and when we are
done we're going to send it into fba
which means we're just going to press
the button review batch
send to fba then amazon's going to
accept it create shipments which just
means they're going to say hey send
these shoes over here
those shoes over there and the rest of
these items over here then we box it up
weigh it get cheap postage from amazon
finish it all up and drop it off at ups
now we just need to click this little
review batch button down there
boom and you can see it's showing us our
breakdown right here there's
21 skus 64 items the average sales rank
is 8
700. the total sales value on amazon
is 6 314. the total buy cost 2
424 and our total profit for our shoe
haul in the other video is 2
497 which is actually much more than i
estimated
in the haul video
all right so after you have created all
your shipments
and approved them all you click complete
and you're essentially
done with inventory lab it takes you to
this screen little
information for you showing you
everything that you listed where you can
print labels individually from here but
now
the rest of the process is going to be
finishing the shipment
in amazon which is the same as if you
made any other
fba shipment but this just gets this
whole process done for you
very easily and it allows you to track
your supplier
your cost of goods your quantities your
categories you're selling in everything
not only makes it easy for you to list
and efficiently quickly but also has
crazy vast tracking and accounting for
your entire shipment
way more than amazon you want to know
how many pairs of shoes you have in
stock
you can find that out you can't look
that up on amazon you want to know how
many
items you have listed in the clothing
category you can tell you can't tell
that on amazon so we're done with
inventory
lab we are now going to head over to
amazon to complete the rest of the
shipment
unfortunately i'm not going to show you
guys screen recording inside my amazon
account but i will
using this camera film parts of the
screen just to show you guys a little
bit of the process
you know how to make an amazon fba
shipment you know how to do the rest of
this video it's the same but for those
of you that don't know and still want to
know i'll show you a little bit but if
you're wondering why i'm not giving you
the detailed screen recording it's just
because that would be a lot of blurring
and i don't want to do that to jed
so we love jed jed is my editor we don't
want her to have to do all that so we're
not going to do it all right so you can
see here we are in the shipping queue
page of amazon
and you can see over here all of these
things that say work
on shipment those are shipments that
were just created right now
through inventory lab interacting with
amazon
now we need to click on work on shipment
that's not touch screen
and then go through and just process it
you can see here it also
says how many skus how many are shipped
it also says what warehouse we're
sending it to
another little tip i'm going to give you
guys first is start with the biggest
shipment
first and try to consolidate the smaller
shipments that amazon wants you to split
into there by
adjusting the quantity you're only
allowed to adjust the quantity a very
small amount i think it's five or six
units or five percent whichever one is
less
i could be wrong on that but just know
that you can adjust the quantities
just not too much and it's very
important because if you have to send
two pairs of shoes by themselves you're
gonna pay a lot
compared to being able to stuff those
two pairs of shoes into
another box with eight or ten other
pairs of shoes and you'll be saving a
lot on your inbound shipping so we're
using the extra large home depot boxes
for shoes
i have wet tape right here starting off
we need
one pair of grand court size 11 one pair
of grand court size
12 new balance size eight let's grab
those shoes
[Music]
22 pairs of shoes in the shipment so
make sure you have 22 pairs
[Music]
right on the money now we're gonna put
them in the box start with the big ones
stack them up like this once you get
everything done
tape it crossways to hold it together
always rub your tape down so there's no
loose
ends also i'm using three inch tape it's
much more effective than
two inch tape in my opinion these tape
guns are super cheap too they're like 10
bucks i'll put a link in the description
i actually really recommend them don't
mess around with the wax tape then
so that's done now now we just need to
weigh it write the weight and write that
it's box one of this shipment because
it's going to be two boxes and we don't
wanna forget which box it is and then
we're gonna continue on
so we're in amazon right now this shows
the items this says box one that says
box two because
we're sending 22 items and it won't all
fit in one box we have to make two boxes
this is the web version of the box
contents this is where we tell amazon
which
units are in which box it's very very
important amazon needs to know
exactly what's in each box very
important you could also pay amazon
20 cents a unit to let them do it for
you but i don't recommend
[Music]
all right box 2 is done it looks big but
it'll weigh a lot
the great thing about shoes is they're
not very heavy so that's only going to
be 23 pounds
now here on amazon on the shipment
process we're going to put
23 pounds then we're going to click
confirm and we're going to wait for it
to estimate our shipping cost
after you click confirm it's going to
take you to calculate
shipping charges and show you your total
boxes and pounds
they're offering us 33 dollars and 80
cents to ship
48 pounds for this shipment i think we
must be shipping this across the country
we're shipping this all the way to
maryland from california which is why
it's costing us that much
also because it's a small shipment and
the total weight is not a lot only 50
pounds
if we would instead get this shipment up
to like 500 pounds we would pay a lot
less on a per pound rate ideally this
shipment should have costed us
50 cents a pound but we didn't send
enough normally we would make the
shipment
much larger in-state shipments gonna be
much closer to 25 cents a pound but that
is assuming that you're able to hit some
kind of volume not just a box or two
so you have to click i agree to the
terms
and then you accept the charges and then
amazon is going to give you
shipping labels for your box we're
actually going to print them on
thermal paper right out of our printer
so we're going to click here and we're
going to click
the ship date and we're going to ship
these tomorrow which is the 15th and
thermal printer paper is selected
and now we're going to press print box
labels so once you open it up here then
you're going to press
print you're going to choose the printer
that you're printing to which for me
is the rolo and then you're going gonna
press print and it should
come right out of your printer there you
go one
two three four ready to go
now there's two boxes but four labels
you might be asking why well one of them
is the ups postage label the other is
the amazon
label that amazon scans to know which
box is which put them on the same
side of the box but put them away from
each other that way the ups workers
don't accidentally scan the amazon one
or vice versa
fba label ups label we are so close to
being done guys
now we're gonna come over here to the
bottom right corner we're gonna click
complete shipment and we're gonna load
it into the car
and drop it off tomorrow but right now
we're gonna press mark as
shipped oh
yeah just kidding you know i can lift at
least 25 pounds
there you go guys that is how you
process shoes
from retail arbitrage to send them off
to amazon fba using
inventory lab software which is 50 a
month and i highly recommend it it comes
with a free
scouting app scoutify 2 and you can have
multiple members of your team
sign in with your information at the
same time the coolest thing about
scoutify 2
is that when you're out scouting and you
find shoes or whatever clothing items
that you want to buy
you click buy and then it stores your
information your cost of goods your
supplier the sales tax everything then
you email yourself that file
load that file into inventory lab and
all of your stuff is already populated
fast turnaround is the name of the game
we need to flip our capital
as many times as possible so if that's
something you guys want to check out
there's a link in the description to
sign up for inventory lab click up here
to check out the video where i actually
went and purchased these shoes
and if you like the content please

all that stuff and i'll see you guys on
the next video peace
