How to sell shoes on amazon
I Bought 134 Pairs of Nike Shoes to sell on Amazon FBA
so today I'm gonna process about 100
pairs of shoes to ship off to Amazon FBA
some of these came from Marshalls some
of these came from the Nike factory
store but I figured you guys would like
to see how that's done in the process so
stay tuned 50,000 in used books on 2015
hustle Reesie resells follow the hustle
welcome to my garage so that's not
actually a hundred pairs I have 20 pairs
in the Audi real quick I'm gonna grab
those and bring those in here one second
okay before we get into this I want to
go over this before
anybody I know you guys are gonna bring
this up right like you're gonna say but
you can sell Nikes on Amazon we can't
and that might be true but are you
willing to put the work in to get
approved to sell on Nike are you willing
to sell on Amazon for six months to a
year selling whatever you can so that
you can get the ability to sell Nike no
okay well then you shouldn't be
complaining how are you able to sell on
eBay and Poshmark yes are there people
that actually do this successfully that
have proven business models that you can
follow on social media yes there is
without further ado I'm gonna stack
these so that I can start scanning them
[Music]
whoo so now that we got that done it's
time to do the boring part and list them
in to Amazon using inventory lab
software on the computer over here Here
I am at the computer I'm logged into
inventory lab which is a software that
we use to list to Amazon to create
shipments it just makes it so much
faster it's nothing complicated this is
a super simple workstation computer I
got a dime o 4 XL printer right here for
shipping labels I got a dime o 452 Bo
over there for FBA labels
I got a cheap twenty dollar USB
point-of-sale scanner that's about it so
what we're gonna do is we're gonna scan
all the shoes we're gonna get them into
a shipment onto Amazon sticker them if
we have to box them all up and ship them
off while amazon wants us to ship them
off to now I can't show you the exact
shoes that I'm selling because that
would sacrifice the security of my
Amazon account which is my bread and
butter and that's just what it is but I
will show you guys some of the
processing methods that we have to use
between getting them into the system and
getting them boxed up and shipped off to
Amazon so don't leave yet I'm gonna show
you I'll do a time lapse of this process
and then I will show you a few of the
different processing methods we use for
the shoes and then another time lapse
showing the boxing and then all the way
done till the end so stay tuned you'll
get to see the whole thing
[Music]
your basic heat gun
[Applause]
another one of the things we have to do
is rip off the MSRP price tag because
sometimes we actually end up selling
shoes higher than the MSRP and we don't
want the customer to get upset about
that when they see a lower MSRP price
than what they actually paid on Amazon
because prices vary with supply and
demand per shoe / style / size blah blah
blah and it's all automated using our
reprice err so you know it's just good
it's a good look for us it helps to
prevent dissatisfactory customer
experiences alright so I'm done with the
super boring part of listing the shoes
into inventory lab and while I cannot
show you the shoes let me show you the
totals on the shipment as far as spent
expected profit sales value etc so
there's 42 excuse meaning 42 different
items there's actually a hundred and
forty four units and there's ten units
that aren't shoes so it's a hundred and
thirty-four shoes I was wrong the
average sales rank across the whole
shipment including those things that
aren't shoes is about forty nine
thousand that is the sales value $5,500
buy cost in a $4,100 expected profit
we're almost done guys it's almost time
to pack the boxes one of the last things
that we need to do before we put the
shoes in the boxes is we have to
rubberband them we got to put a rubber
band around the box to hold the Box
closed to stop the shoes from falling
out anywhere along the way between here
and the customer the rubber bands I like
to use are from Staples the number 33
rubber bands this is a pound of them I
think it's like 9 bucks they're three
and a half inches by 1/8 inch in case
you want to get a different brand of
comparable comparable where I come up
with
[Music]
so they look like when they're done this
light makes me look super dark in the
Furious alright I'm in a rubber band the
rest of these real quick in case you
ever wondered why they called me the
rubberband man at this point everything
is starting to get packed up to Amazon
it's a hundred and thirty-five pairs of
shoes Amazon split it up into three
shipments going to three different
warehouses so right now I am packing the
first box it's 36 pairs of shoes let's
do this
[Music]
okay so first two boxes done 33 pounds
29 pounds 36 pairs of shoes first
shipment of three shipments ready not
not quite ready almost ready to go to
Amazon now I need to put this weight in
the box size into Amazon in the shipment
dialog and they'll give me shipping
labels to put on the boxes then we can
drop it off at UPS or have them pick it
up from us or just throw it in the back
of a UPS truck or whatever but let me
grab those labels and put them on the
box the Amazon shipping rates are
actually extremely cheap I don't know if
you guys are able to see that or not I
think you can see that over there
anyways it's extremely cheap it's $16
it's basically 17 dollars to ship 62
pounds which is pretty dang cheap so
that's the basic process guys obviously
I'm not done with this shipment yet
there's more of this to be shipped off
to more shipments to be exact but it's
just more of everything that you've just
saw and for sake of finishing this video
and I think I'm actually out of
extra-large boxes right now I'm not
gonna do it all the way to the end but I
hope you guys get the point this
illustrates to you a little bit about
how the shoe business model works with
Amazon FBA how Packaging shipments works
sorting getting them listed all that
stuff of course I didn't show you guys
the super duper technical details which
is really really boring but the moral of
the story is that we're gonna profit
about $20 a pair on these shoes and our
average cost of goods is about $40 and
this is a huge plan of what we plan to
continue doing in 2019 and beyond so
goal for me and Scotty G my business
partner some of you might follow on
instagram is
riki analog we want to do 2 million in
shoes and that's gonna require a lot of
us doing this again and again so you're
gonna see a lot of shoe content from me

content around that I'm going to be
getting into some stock ex stuff maybe a
little bit of goat so stay tuned and
look for that and please if you're
watching this don't think that just
because you can't sell Nikes on Amazon
that you can't do this you could earn
that privilege or you could sell on
Poshmark
eBay Merc Ari stock ax goat there's a
million ways to get it please don't let
anything be your limitation factor and
guess what guys it's not 1920 you do not
have to keep living your lives the same
way your grandparents live their life
