FC Transfers make no sense
Why is there no logical reason or rhyme to FC Transfers? I'm in GA and shipped a box to PA. It was checked in, and now all the items are being transfered back south, to GA, SC, AL, TN and FL. How does that make any logical sense to have me ship to PA and pay higher shipping costs if you're just going to send the product back south close to where I'm shipping from? This happens quite frequently. And to top it off, I have a Warehouse not even 15 miles from my house... Help it make sense.

Greetings @Seller_R2knzD0ohaNV3,
Thanks for raising the question here. There are several factors that impact whether or not inventory needs to be transferred between FCs - things like FC capacity, incoming volume, type of units, where buyer orders are coming from, etc. Every situation is different as to why, but it is worth mentioning that units in the FC transfer status are available for customers to buy. However, customers might be shown a future ship date if no other units are available in the fulfillment centers for immediate fulfillment.
If you run into any issues with units in transfer let me know here and I'll be happy to do what I can to assist!
