Start selling out-of-stock inventory and you\u2019ll miss shipping service level agreements, and that could keep you from being able to sell on the platform altogether.<\/p>\n<p>A new program may change that a bit for those selling using Fulfillment By Amazon. Amazon\u2019s In-Stock Head Start pilot program is a new service that sellers can opt-in to. It basically allows your customers to buy products from inbound stock so long as Amazon feels confident that the product will arrive at a fulfillment center in time for fulfillment.<\/p>\n<p>Having items that are temporarily out of stock is no longer a complete killer of your ability to sell items. The caveat is that incoming inventory needs to be sent using one of Amazon\u2019s services to ensure they have complete visibility into the delivery schedule.
