Questions answered on today's call:
-
When submitting a newly invented and unique product to the Vine program, are the Vine reviewers given your listing so they can see the description of your product?
-
Although this first shipment of my product was more than exciting, after a few days of repackaging, labeling, and what ended up me having to take all the boxes that were pretty heavy to UPS myself, proved a little bit more difficult than I can do physically on my own, especially when I am already planning a next large order. I did not find anything wrong with this order so I feel like it would be OK to send straight to Amazon next time. Although I am not worried about my manufacturer messing up my product right now, I am worried about how they would ship it to FBA warehouses and whether that would be done right. My question is do you take the risk and pray for the best to send the products straight to Amazon?
