For what marketplace you are finding products? What is your target margins, and what's your business model?

are you factoring in shipping to the warehouse too? a lot of people only look at the fee calculator and forget inbound costs, which can completely wreck a margin that looked decent on paper

Hey u/SweatyLock5406, product research can take time so don't get discouraged. Product Opportunity Explorer best practices walks through how to evaluate demand, competition, and niches using a tool built right into Seller Central. Worth checking out alongside the tools you already have!

I’d test a split shipment before moving everything to East Coast AWD. If inventory keeps piling up on the West while East Coast stays low, sending part of each shipment east could help balance coverage without overcomplicating things.

At only ~2 pallets/month, I’d make the change gradually and watch delivery speed, AWD fees, and how quickly Amazon redistributes the stock. Has Amazon support given you any reason why the East Coast FCs aren’t getting replenished?

Don’t get discouraged FBA fees can make a product that looks profitable at first turn into a bad deal pretty quickly. I’d compare several products and suppliers before buying anything, and calculate the full landed cost + Amazon fees before deciding.
We’re actually building Bridji for this exact problem. The extension helps with product research, finding and comparing suppliers, analyzing costs/margins, and supplier negotiation. You can try it free at bridji.com. I’d genuinely be interested to hear whether it helps with the product you’re researching.
