Is it better to ship in smaller shipments a few times a week or one big shipment once a week?

Asking about FBA.

Many thanks!

You need to evaluate your costs for shipping in the two scenarios you have given and decide which is best for you. No 2 sellers are the same.

IMHO, I believe that FCs make fewer mistakes with smaller shipments but this could be false.

Asking with restock limits in mind. I am trying to get a good score for inventory replenishments.

Sales velocity dictates your shipping size and frequency. However, there isn’t really any scenario that makes sense to do several small shipments a week, because the shipping fees and placement fees, as well as your stock levels fluctuating, affect your ranking and the algorithm. Larger shipments are usually better for FBA for maximizing profitability.

I don’t agree personally although it may suit your situation. However your statement “Sales velocity dictates your shipping size and frequency” hits the nail on the head.
