Importers who found their real numbers
Real shipments, real corrections, real repricing decisions.
“We’d been subsidising our biggest product with our smallest for two years.”
Hartley & Vane imports 10 containers of kitchenware a year. Their spreadsheet split freight equally across SKUs — LandedCost’s volume allocation showed their bestseller was carrying $4,100 a year of costs that belonged to bulkier, lower-margin lines.
“Three products were selling below landed cost. Amazon’s reports never showed it.”
Fenwick Trading layered FBA fee profiles onto landed costs and found three loss-makers hidden by healthy-looking category averages. Killed one, repriced two.
“The supplier quote check caught an 11% creep we’d have signed without noticing.”
Meadowline compares every new quote against their price history in LandedCost. One flagged line item paid for the subscription several times over — before the goods even shipped.
“Our hero product was still ‘profitable’ — from three price changes ago.”
Alto Home Goods watched a 38% margin erode to 11% over five shipments — supplier creep, freight renewals and FX, none of it in the spreadsheet. Read how they found all three causes in a week and recovered $9,400 a year.
