Turning a Costly Mistake into a Smart Solution
Today, we found a very simple solution to a serious problem our customer was facing.
She made a mistake when sending inventory to Amazon:
The expiration date on the outer packaging was incorrect.
It was supposed to be June 2026, but her team mistakenly labeled it as June 2025 — which is just around the corner.
We were about to create a removal order, not wanting to take any risks.
During a meeting where we were discussing this, I suddenly got an idea:
Since she also sells on other channels like Shopify, why not use MCF (Multi-Channel Fulfillment) and ship that Amazon inventory to Shopify customers?
This simple idea saved us a lot of trouble — and definitely a lot of money.
Key takeaways:
1. Teamwork matters – when different minds come together, great solutions happen.
2. Think outside the box – I searched forums for hours and never saw this exact approach.
3. Cross-platform selling is powerful – never rely on just one sales channel.
