To keep dispatchment centers efficient, organized, and reliable, inventory limits and storage rules apply to all sellers using Dispatched by Kingston Express.

Why Inventory Limits Exist #

Dispatchment centers are shared operational facilities.
Inventory limits help Kingston Express:

  • Maintain fast order processing
  • Avoid overcrowding
  • Ensure fair access for all sellers
  • Protect product quality and accuracy

📌 Dispatchment is optimized for movement — not long-term storage.


Inventory Quantity Limits #

🔢 Initial Inventory Limits #

When enrolling a product:

  • You may be approved for a specific quantity
  • Limits depend on:
    • Product size
    • Sales history
    • Storage requirements
    • Dispatchment capacity

📦 Do not send more units than approved.


📈 Scaling Inventory Over Time #

As your product proves demand:

  • Higher inventory limits may be approved
  • Limits may increase automatically or upon request

📌 Consistent sellers earn more capacity.


Storage Duration Rules #

Dispatchment centers are designed for active inventory.

General expectations: #

  • Products should sell within a reasonable time
  • Slow-moving inventory may be flagged
  • Long-term idle stock may require action

⚠️ Dispatchment is not indefinite storage.


What Happens to Slow-Moving Inventory? #

If inventory does not move:

  • You may receive a notification
  • You may be asked to:
    • Replenish with better products
    • Reduce quantities
    • Remove remaining stock

📌 This keeps dispatchment operations efficient.


Product Size & Space Rules #

Inventory limits are also affected by:

  • Physical size
  • Weight
  • Packaging dimensions

Examples: #

  • Small items → higher quantity allowed
  • Bulky items → lower quantity allowed

📦 Larger items consume more dispatchment space.


Packaging & Storage Standards #

All products must:

  • Be individually packaged
  • Be stack-safe
  • Remain sealed and sell-ready
  • Not leak, spill, or deteriorate

🚫 Repackaging is not done at dispatchment centers.


Inventory Accuracy Rules #

Sellers must ensure:

  • Quantities sent match approvals
  • Products match listings exactly
  • No mixed SKUs in one batch

⚠️ Repeated inaccuracies may affect eligibility.


Shared Storage Responsibility #

Because dispatchment centers are shared:

  • Inventory may be reorganized internally
  • Placement is controlled by Kingston Express
  • Sellers cannot request specific shelf locations

📌 This ensures operational efficiency.


Inventory Removal Due to Limits #

If limits are exceeded or rules are violated:

  • Kingston Express may request inventory reduction
  • Removal timelines may apply
  • Repeated issues may affect dispatchment access

⚠️ Compliance protects your access to dispatchment.

Best Practices for Sellers #
