Amazon FBA restock
Restock FBA without overpaying on freight
Replenishment Autopilot looks at how fast you sell, what is running low, and Amazon prep rules—then compares Amazon partnered freight with live UPS, FedEx, and USPS quotes so you send the right amount at the lowest inbound cost.

The problem
Stockouts and expensive inbound are the same planning failure.
Most restock spreadsheets answer “what is low?” They do not answer “is this batch large enough to ship,” “is this SKU blocked on prep,” or “is Amazon’s partnered carrier actually cheaper than UPS this week.” Sellers either send too often and bleed freight, or wait too long and stock out of the SKU that was paying the ads.
Replenishment Autopilot is built for that decision. It uses velocity, aged-inventory pressure, and warehouse ship-from data from your seller account, then shops inbound cost before you commit the plan.
It is the operations counterpart to Amazon Ads Profit Machine: profitable traffic is wasted if FBA is empty, and inbound savings disappear if you restock the wrong units.
What Replenishment Autopilot does
Ship when it makes sense
Small restock triggers wait until you have enough units, enough value, or a SKU that is about to run out—so you are not paying freight for a handful of boxes.
Prep check first
Unverified or blocked prep SKUs stay out of the shipment until Amazon confirms requirements. That avoids inbound surprises at the warehouse door.
Lowest shipping cost
Compares Amazon partnered carrier options with live UPS, FedEx, and USPS quotes, then shows the cheaper way in for this cycle.
Ship-from from Amazon
Pulls the warehouse address from your recent FBA inbound history so quotes and plans use the same origin Amazon already has on file.
Velocity and aged stock
Recommendations weigh how fast each SKU sells against aged-inventory risk, so you do not flood FBA with slow units to “fill a truck.”
Savings vs the usual split
Each cycle records what the chosen inbound option saved versus sending the default Amazon split, so ops can defend the decision.
How it works
One restock cycle, from catalog to inbound plan
Connect your seller account
Replenishment Autopilot uses Selling Partner API inventory, sales, and inbound history. Pick the store you restock.
Run a live restock check
The cycle reads velocity, floors, prep status, and the ship-from address, then proposes what to send now versus what to hold.
Compare inbound options
Amazon partnered freight sits next to carrier quotes. You see cost by leg, not a single mystery rate.
Approve and track the shipment
Create the inbound plan, send it to the warehouse workflow, and keep savings on the ledger for the cycle.
Who this is for
Brands that restock FBA as a system, not a last-minute PO.
- ✓Sellers who stock out of winners while slow SKUs sit in FBA
- ✓Ops teams tired of guessing Amazon vs UPS inbound cost
- ✓Agencies running restock for more than one seller account
- ✓Catalogs with prep-required SKUs that keep failing inbound
If you send one mixed carton a month, Seller Central restock reports may be enough. This tool is for catalogs where freight, prep, and stockout risk have to be decided together—and where the same SP-API connection already powers Fee Sentry.
Frequently asked questions
Does this create the Amazon inbound shipment for me?
It builds the restock recommendation, shops cost, and helps you approve a plan. You still own the warehouse pick, pack, and Amazon inbound confirmation.
Do I need Amazon Ads connected?
No. Restock uses the seller account. Ads stay on the Amazon Ads Profit Machine.
What if Shippo quotes are not set up?
You can still run a cycle and see Amazon’s restock picture. Carrier comparison is richer once shipping quotes are configured; Amazon partnered options remain visible either way.
Can a team share one restock workspace?
Yes. Allocate Replenishment Autopilot to a seat, keep the seller connection on the workspace, and run cycles without mixing personal accounts.
