Stop Relying on Amazon FBA in 2026 (You’re Losing Money) | Supply Chain Secrets
Apr 17, 2026 Season 5 Episode 2
The Amazon Strategist Show

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
