| 00:00:00 | 00:00:04 | in this video we're going to cover how |
| 00:00:01 | 00:00:06 | to convert amazon tba tracking numbers |
| 00:00:04 | 00:00:08 | for your drop shipping business so that |
| 00:00:06 | 00:00:09 | you can obviously input them in wherever |
| 00:00:08 | 00:00:11 | the platform that you're drop shipping |
| 00:00:09 | 00:00:12 | on now i personally use this for |
| 00:00:11 | 00:00:15 | facebook marketplace |
| 00:00:12 | 00:00:17 | facebook shops even amazon drop shipping |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:20 | and a number of other places including |
| 00:00:17 | 00:00:22 | mercari tradesy grail kittizin you name |
| 00:00:20 | 00:00:24 | it you can also use this for ebay as |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:26 | well although i personally don't use |
| 00:00:24 | 00:00:27 | this on ebay it was also brought to my |
| 00:00:26 | 00:00:29 | attention because i thought that like |
| 00:00:27 | 00:00:31 | everybody kind of knew how to do this |
| 00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | already but i never created a video on |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | it and i keep getting this question in |
| 00:00:33 | 00:00:36 | comments and through emails and in the |
| 00:00:35 | 00:00:38 | facebook group as well so i wanted to |
| 00:00:36 | 00:00:40 | just make a one-stop shop video for |
| 00:00:38 | 00:00:42 | everybody to reference so i can just |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:44 | link this video as a video in-depth |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | answer for anybody that might have this |
| 00:00:44 | 00:00:48 | question in the future now primarily |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | where people face this issue is on |
| 00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | facebook marketplace but if you're |
| 00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | dealing with another you know platform |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:56 | specifically this same method applies to |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:57 | this to that platform |
| 00:00:56 | 00:00:58 | it's just you know you're going to input |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:00 | the tracking number on a different |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:02 | platform not facebook marketplace so if |
| 00:01:00 | 00:01:04 | you look on the screen right now this is |
| 00:01:02 | 00:01:05 | an item i drop shipped recently and one |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:08 | of the issues that you'll get is this |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | amazon tba tracking number so if for |
| 00:01:08 | 00:01:10 | example you're drop shipping that on |
| 00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | facebook marketplace |
| 00:01:10 | 00:01:14 | how do you go about inputting that in |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:15 | facebook marketplace you can't because |
| 00:01:14 | 00:01:19 | facebook marketplace only gives you the |
| 00:01:15 | 00:01:21 | option to input ups fedex or uh the post |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:23 | office so what you then need to do is |
| 00:01:21 | 00:01:24 | you need to convert this amazon tracking |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:27 | number into a tracking number that's |
| 00:01:24 | 00:01:30 | going to that same exact city and state |
| 00:01:27 | 00:01:31 | for that relative date so for example |
| 00:01:30 | 00:01:33 | this one was already delivered but just |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | use your imagination here let's say |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | hypothetikally because it is june 3rd |
| 00:01:35 | 00:01:39 | this was delivered yesterday let's say |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:42 | hypothetikally this is estimated to be |
| 00:01:39 | 00:01:44 | delivered on june 5th for example right |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | and it's going to philadelphia pa so |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | what i would then do is instead of you |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | know inputting the tba tracking number |
| 00:01:48 | 00:01:50 | which i can't even do on facebook |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | marketplace and even if you're on |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | facebook shops you still don't want to |
| 00:01:52 | 00:01:55 | input the amazon tracking number in |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:57 | facebook shops because it's going to |
| 00:01:55 | 00:01:59 | hurt your metrics overall if you have a |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:01 | specific question on how and why it will |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:02 | hurt your metrics on facebook shops even |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | though they let you input an amazon |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:06 | tracking number i did an entire video on |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | that i'll try to link it at the bottom |
| 00:02:06 | 00:02:09 | of the description if you want to check |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:11 | it out after this video okay so don't |
| 00:02:09 | 00:02:14 | input them in shops either even though |
| 00:02:11 | 00:02:15 | it gives you the opportunity to actually |
| 00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | do so so if this was going to |
| 00:02:15 | 00:02:19 | philadelphia pa on june 5th |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:21 | i can't input this in the facebook |
| 00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | marketplace what i then do is i go to |
| 00:02:21 | 00:02:25 | track taco right here and i'll actually |
| 00:02:23 | 00:02:27 | link this in the description as well so |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:28 | you go to track taco you buy tracking |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:30 | numbers and then what you can do is you |
| 00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | can input philadelphia pa and you can |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | see just how many of these i've used |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | like i've used so many of them um i |
| 00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | think i still have 66 left but if you |
| 00:02:36 | 00:02:40 | buy a bunch of credits at once um it can |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:42 | be really really cheap i'm not sure the |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:45 | specific number on it it can be as |
| 00:02:42 | 00:02:47 | expensive i believe as like 75 cents all |
| 00:02:45 | 00:02:49 | the way down to i want to say like 25 to |
| 00:02:47 | 00:02:51 | 30 cents a tracking number if you buy |
| 00:02:49 | 00:02:52 | them in bulk i usually just buy 500 at a |
| 00:02:51 | 00:02:55 | time so i don't really have to worry |
| 00:02:52 | 00:02:57 | about kind of constantly renewing them |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:59 | uh so philadelphia pa if this is going |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | to philadelphia pa on the 5th what i |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:03 | would then do is i'd want to mark it a |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:05 | day later just in case it was a little |
| 00:03:03 | 00:03:07 | slow and also you don't want to mark it |
| 00:03:05 | 00:03:09 | on the same day because for whatever |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | reason their that tracking number shows |
| 00:03:09 | 00:03:12 | delivered in the morning but their |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | tracking number is getting delivered the |
| 00:03:12 | 00:03:15 | same day but it gets delivered later you |
| 00:03:14 | 00:03:17 | don't want to run into an issue where |
| 00:03:15 | 00:03:19 | the customer is questioning it being |
| 00:03:17 | 00:03:21 | like hey my thing showed up as delivered |
| 00:03:19 | 00:03:23 | but it's not here yet so always go at |
| 00:03:21 | 00:03:25 | least a day later preferably even two |
| 00:03:23 | 00:03:26 | the only issue that you're gonna face |
| 00:03:25 | 00:03:28 | there is you're gonna get your money a |
| 00:03:26 | 00:03:29 | day or two later when the tracking |
| 00:03:28 | 00:03:31 | number's actually delivered uh instead |
| 00:03:29 | 00:03:33 | of the actual package but if they |
| 00:03:31 | 00:03:35 | receive their package first and the |
| 00:03:33 | 00:03:36 | tracking number shows a day later that |
| 00:03:35 | 00:03:38 | it's delivered or two they're not even |
| 00:03:36 | 00:03:39 | going to pay attention to it number one |
| 00:03:38 | 00:03:40 | most people won't even realize and even |
| 00:03:39 | 00:03:42 | if they do they're still going to be |
| 00:03:40 | 00:03:44 | happy because they got their package |
| 00:03:42 | 00:03:45 | faster than they expected to so if this |
| 00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | was coming on the fifth to philadelphia |
| 00:03:45 | 00:03:50 | epa i input philadelphia pa here i put |
| 00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | the six because it's a day later so i'll |
| 00:03:50 | 00:03:53 | go sixth the seventh and then i'll wait |
| 00:03:52 | 00:03:55 | for it to pop up with the estimated |
| 00:03:53 | 00:03:58 | available tracking numbers it found four |
| 00:03:55 | 00:04:00 | thousand between fedex and ups together |
| 00:03:58 | 00:04:02 | i click get tracking number i wait for |
| 00:04:00 | 00:04:05 | it to generate that tracking number to |
| 00:04:02 | 00:04:06 | philadelphia pa on if i we click the ups |
| 00:04:05 | 00:04:08 | tracking number right here it's going to |
| 00:04:06 | 00:04:10 | show me when it's delivered and it |
| 00:04:08 | 00:04:12 | should say the sixth or the seventh this |
| 00:04:10 | 00:04:13 | is coming on the seventh so perfect then |
| 00:04:12 | 00:04:16 | i would copy this tracking number i |
| 00:04:13 | 00:04:18 | would input it into facebook marketplace |
| 00:04:16 | 00:04:20 | on that order and now i have a tracking |
| 00:04:18 | 00:04:23 | number that's going to that city that |
| 00:04:20 | 00:04:24 | state estimated slightly later than the |
| 00:04:23 | 00:04:27 | actual item is getting there the |
| 00:04:24 | 00:04:29 | customer's happy i'm happy because i i |
| 00:04:27 | 00:04:30 | don't have to run into an issue where i |
| 00:04:29 | 00:04:32 | can't input that tracking number and i |
| 00:04:30 | 00:04:34 | get the order cancelled and obviously |
| 00:04:32 | 00:04:35 | the platform's happy because it looks |
| 00:04:34 | 00:04:37 | like you're inputting tracking numbers |
| 00:04:35 | 00:04:39 | on time and you don't run into any |
| 00:04:37 | 00:04:41 | issues okay so that's the first way to |
| 00:04:39 | 00:04:44 | do it is you want to convert amazon tba |
| 00:04:41 | 00:04:46 | tracking numbers into track taco |
| 00:04:44 | 00:04:49 | tracking numbers which then generate you |
| 00:04:46 | 00:04:50 | a ups or a fedex tracking number to that |
| 00:04:49 | 00:04:52 | city and state on that estimated |
| 00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | delivery date now the second way that i |
| 00:04:52 | 00:04:56 | use this is when i'm |
| 00:04:54 | 00:04:57 | marking orders fake ship so |
| 00:04:56 | 00:04:59 | this is something that i've toked about |
| 00:04:57 | 00:05:01 | in a previous video i don't keep track |
| 00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | of stok and i don't change my prices |
| 00:05:01 | 00:05:04 | and so two times that i'll mark an order |
| 00:05:02 | 00:05:06 | fake shipped i often do this on amazon |
| 00:05:04 | 00:05:09 | as well even though i use the software |
| 00:05:06 | 00:05:11 | to track and reprice my items on amazon |
| 00:05:09 | 00:05:13 | i don't do that for facebook marketplace |
| 00:05:11 | 00:05:14 | for facebook shop but for facebook |
| 00:05:13 | 00:05:16 | marketplace specifically and for amazon |
| 00:05:14 | 00:05:18 | and really any platform if for example |
| 00:05:16 | 00:05:20 | you run into an issue where somebody |
| 00:05:18 | 00:05:22 | orders an item and it's out of stok on |
| 00:05:20 | 00:05:24 | your suppliers website and you can't |
| 00:05:22 | 00:05:26 | find that item on any other website for |
| 00:05:24 | 00:05:29 | whatever reason and you need to |
| 00:05:26 | 00:05:31 | obviously market shipped or cancel it |
| 00:05:29 | 00:05:32 | if you want to protect your cancellation |
| 00:05:31 | 00:05:34 | rate you don't want to uh you know |
| 00:05:32 | 00:05:36 | cancel a bunch of orders one of the ways |
| 00:05:34 | 00:05:38 | that you can do it is market fake ship |
| 00:05:36 | 00:05:39 | so for example let's say this customer |
| 00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | where you can't find the item has an |
| 00:05:39 | 00:05:44 | address in columbus ohio well then you'd |
| 00:05:42 | 00:05:47 | come to track taco you generate an at |
| 00:05:44 | 00:05:48 | you generate an address to columbus |
| 00:05:47 | 00:05:49 | ohio |
| 00:05:48 | 00:05:50 | on whatever date it doesn't really |
| 00:05:49 | 00:05:52 | matter because you're not actually |
| 00:05:50 | 00:05:54 | ordering this product it's not actually |
| 00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | coming and so what would happen is you |
| 00:05:54 | 00:05:58 | generate a tracking number to columbus |
| 00:05:55 | 00:05:59 | ohio you input that fake tracking number |
| 00:05:58 | 00:06:01 | which obviously doesn't have a |
| 00:05:59 | 00:06:03 | corresponding product with it because |
| 00:06:01 | 00:06:05 | you didn't actually order that product |
| 00:06:03 | 00:06:06 | and then the customer is going to see |
| 00:06:05 | 00:06:08 | that the item was delivered and they're |
| 00:06:06 | 00:06:09 | going to obviously message you and then |
| 00:06:08 | 00:06:11 | you can go about refunding them and |
| 00:06:09 | 00:06:12 | apologizing to them so i'll go ahead and |
| 00:06:11 | 00:06:14 | i'll refund them when they reach out |
| 00:06:12 | 00:06:15 | typically and i'll say something along |
| 00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | the lines as well as give them the |
| 00:06:15 | 00:06:19 | screenshot of the refunded order as |
| 00:06:18 | 00:06:20 | somehow this got delivered to the wrong |
| 00:06:19 | 00:06:22 | address i'm currently on the phone with |
| 00:06:20 | 00:06:24 | fedex or ups trying to figure out |
| 00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | exactly what happened but i've gone |
| 00:06:24 | 00:06:28 | ahead and issued you a full refund on |
| 00:06:26 | 00:06:29 | your order sorry for the inconvenience |
| 00:06:28 | 00:06:31 | okay and so basically what you're doing |
| 00:06:29 | 00:06:33 | is you're saying like fedex or ups lost |
| 00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | the package you're trying to follow it |
| 00:06:33 | 00:06:37 | up but you're taking ownership of it and |
| 00:06:35 | 00:06:38 | you're issuing them a full refund very |
| 00:06:37 | 00:06:40 | rarely do i run into somebody that has a |
| 00:06:38 | 00:06:42 | major issue with this most people just |
| 00:06:40 | 00:06:44 | say okay thanks can i reorder and then |
| 00:06:42 | 00:06:45 | you can either say at that point like |
| 00:06:44 | 00:06:47 | hey you don't have any more you'll let |
| 00:06:45 | 00:06:49 | them know when you get more in stok or |
| 00:06:47 | 00:06:51 | yes you can reorder if for whatever |
| 00:06:49 | 00:06:52 | reason it's been like a week since you |
| 00:06:51 | 00:06:54 | know you tried to order it last time and |
| 00:06:52 | 00:06:55 | the tracking number the fake tracking |
| 00:06:54 | 00:06:57 | number you know was mark delivered and |
| 00:06:55 | 00:06:58 | they're reaching out to you and then by |
| 00:06:57 | 00:07:00 | that time it might be back in stok and |
| 00:06:58 | 00:07:01 | then you can go ahead with their where |
| 00:07:00 | 00:07:03 | their order and send them another one |
| 00:07:01 | 00:07:04 | right or if it even comes back in stok |
| 00:07:03 | 00:07:06 | then you can just simply say to them |
| 00:07:04 | 00:07:08 | like instead of saying refund them you |
| 00:07:06 | 00:07:10 | can just simply simply say like hey this |
| 00:07:08 | 00:07:12 | got delivered to the wrong address i'm |
| 00:07:10 | 00:07:13 | currently on the phone with ups or fedex |
| 00:07:12 | 00:07:15 | trying to figure out exactly what |
| 00:07:13 | 00:07:16 | happened but i'm going ahead and |
| 00:07:15 | 00:07:18 | expediting you another one just it's |
| 00:07:16 | 00:07:20 | kind of like a fancy way of saying like |
| 00:07:18 | 00:07:22 | i'm express shipping it even though you |
| 00:07:20 | 00:07:23 | might not be and then when that happens |
| 00:07:22 | 00:07:25 | you can order them another one and then |
| 00:07:23 | 00:07:27 | send them and message them the new |
| 00:07:25 | 00:07:29 | tracking number so that's the second way |
| 00:07:27 | 00:07:31 | market fake shipped i also do this on |
| 00:07:29 | 00:07:33 | amazon quite frequently because on |
| 00:07:31 | 00:07:36 | amazon you have a lot less wiggle room |
| 00:07:33 | 00:07:37 | with your your uh cancellation rate also |
| 00:07:36 | 00:07:38 | with your valid tracking rates you need |
| 00:07:37 | 00:07:40 | to be careful but that's a completely |
| 00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | different video topic but that's |
| 00:07:40 | 00:07:43 | basically how you can approach it that |
| 00:07:42 | 00:07:45 | way now another reason that you might |
| 00:07:43 | 00:07:48 | want to use this is if like i said it's |
| 00:07:45 | 00:07:50 | out of stok or if for whatever reason |
| 00:07:48 | 00:07:52 | the price was raised significantly on |
| 00:07:50 | 00:07:55 | your suppliers website and now you're |
| 00:07:52 | 00:07:57 | losing a significant amount of money so |
| 00:07:55 | 00:07:59 | in my experience like if i'm losing five |
| 00:07:57 | 00:08:01 | to ten dollars here there like it's rare |
| 00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | what i'll do is i'll i'll send it out |
| 00:08:01 | 00:08:05 | anyway and then i'll just mark my price |
| 00:08:02 | 00:08:07 | up manually if i'm losing like 20 or |
| 00:08:05 | 00:08:09 | more often i won't even ship that i'll |
| 00:08:07 | 00:08:10 | just fake ship it i'll raise my price |
| 00:08:09 | 00:08:12 | and then worry about it with future |
| 00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | orders because i don't track stok and i |
| 00:08:12 | 00:08:16 | don't you know change my prices and i've |
| 00:08:14 | 00:08:18 | covered that in another video why in |
| 00:08:16 | 00:08:19 | depth so if you're curious on that check |
| 00:08:18 | 00:08:21 | the video out up in the right hand |
| 00:08:19 | 00:08:23 | corner right now that will cover why i |
| 00:08:21 | 00:08:25 | don't recommend that you track your |
| 00:08:23 | 00:08:28 | stok or change your prices because |
| 00:08:25 | 00:08:30 | honestly 99.99 of your items will never |
| 00:08:28 | 00:08:31 | get traction and they will never sell so |
| 00:08:30 | 00:08:34 | you're just wasting your time and |
| 00:08:31 | 00:08:37 | wasting your money tracking and changing |
| 00:08:34 | 00:08:39 | prices on you know 99.9 of your items |
| 00:08:37 | 00:08:41 | that will never really gain any traction |
| 00:08:39 | 00:08:43 | anyway so i really hope that this video |
| 00:08:41 | 00:08:44 | helped i wanted to outline this because |
| 00:08:43 | 00:08:46 | i keep getting this question and i know |
| 00:08:44 | 00:08:47 | clearly a lot of people have this |
| 00:08:46 | 00:08:49 | question and they need the answer so |
| 00:08:47 | 00:08:51 | hope the video helped if you got any |
| 00:08:49 | 00:08:52 | value from it give it a thumbs up i |
| 00:08:51 | 00:08:55 | genuinely appreciate it |
| 00:08:52 | 00:08:55 | and i'll see in the next one |
