one thing I learned about FBA too late was ... do not sign up on your own. Call and get an FBA rep ... wait until August or Sept ask about any specials.
BT is right.
I have a rep. and I think she's the "bee's knees".
I was approached by her to sign up for FBA and she's an email/phone call away.
She walked me through my first 3 shipments, step by step and has answered my questions promptly and politely.
I've referred her to several others (there is no referral kick-back for me) and all of them agree that she's great.
My rep was on vacation and the automated response to my email gave me her back-up's email and phone number.
Called her back-up and received the info I needed in a timely manner.
I'm not sure if you have to ask for the specials.
I didn't ask and still received the perk.
It had been mentioned to me during my first convo with my rep that there would be perks in Aug/Sept and it would be taken care of.
If anyone wants my rep's name...lemme know via PM and I'll hook you up.
She's a doll!
BTW, I'm on the road back and forth to Cedar Key and The VA in Gainesville...alot.
SO if I don't answer immediately, know that I'll get back with you when I can.
(One of the songs I've been singing more often then not is...On The Road Again.)
