Stop Relying on Amazon FBA in 2026 (You’re Losing Money) | Supply Chain Secrets
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Amazon FBA isn’t as simple as it used to be.
In this episode, John Cavendish talks with Burak Yolga (Co-Founder & CEO of Forceget) about why relying only on Amazon’s ecosystem could be costing you serious money — and what smart sellers are doing instead.
What you’ll learn in this episode
• Why you should NOT rely only on Amazon fulfillment (MCF risks)
• The hidden costs of Amazon AWD, AGL, and inventory delays
• How slow check-ins are killing your cash flow
• Why inventory can sit unsellable for weeks inside Amazon
• The real advantage of using your own 3PL
• How brands are saving thousands by restructuring fulfillment
• Why omnichannel supply chains are the future
Key Insights
Amazon is optimizing for data, not your profitability
Inventory delays = locked cash + lost sales
FBA alone is no longer enough to scale
Flexible supply chains win in 2026
Real Example from the Episode
Some sellers have $100K+ worth of inventory stuck in Amazon warehouses, unable to sell due to slow check-ins and internal transfers.
The Big Shift
The most successful brands today are:
✔ Building their own supply chain
✔ Using independent 3PLs
✔ Expanding beyond Amazon
✔ Taking control of inventory and fulfillment
