See whether splitting an FBA shipment beats its placement fee.
Included in the $9.00 Shelf Kit
Amazon sellers and prep partners deciding whether to accept a lower-fee inbound split or consolidate before shipping, once they know the per-unit placement fee and their own freight and prep costs.
Delivery: usually a structured result, workbook, or ZIP depending on the tool.
Friday performs arithmetic only on the unit count, per-unit placement fees, inbound freight costs, and prep-and-handling costs you supply. It reads no Amazon account, inbound plan, or fee schedule, looks up no live placement fee, and verifies no field. The totals cover only the supplied components—no storage, fulfillment, referral, or prep-service fees, long-haul discounts, arrival-timing value, or stranded-inventory risk are modeled—so a lowest-cost ranking is arithmetic at your supplied unit count, not a recommendation that a split strategy is right for the shipment. Friday creates no inbound shipment, accepts no placement option, files nothing, does not publish listings, and does not modify a seller account.
