27 00:04:56.720 ⇒ 00:05:06.140 Amber Lin: Yeah, I know. Like my my really good friend. His dad passed away this year, and he has just been working nonstop
28 00:05:06.660 ⇒ 00:05:09.139 Amber Lin: because it’s really hard to process.
29 00:05:10.790 ⇒ 00:05:12.500 Ryan: Yeah, although it’s like.
30 00:05:13.180 ⇒ 00:05:21.679 Ryan: my mind’s pretty like messed up like my brain. I don’t know like I I can’t really like focus or something like I don’t know.
31 00:05:21.990 ⇒ 00:05:23.558 Ryan: It’s messing me up.
32 00:05:24.110 ⇒ 00:05:25.479 Amber Lin: For now with him.
33 00:05:26.880 ⇒ 00:05:33.150 Amber Lin: Gosh, and I know, yeah, like, I know, Chuck has something urgent. Do you think?
34 00:05:33.380 ⇒ 00:05:40.549 Amber Lin: Do you think you wanna do it today, cause I can ask him to schedule it for tomorrow.
35 00:05:40.980 ⇒ 00:05:41.589 Amber Lin: So we.
36 00:05:41.975 ⇒ 00:05:42.360 Ryan: I.
37 00:05:42.640 ⇒ 00:05:43.410 Amber Lin: Okay.
38 00:05:43.410 ⇒ 00:05:48.039 Ryan: Yeah, yeah, I already like sent him a message in the external
39 00:05:48.280 ⇒ 00:05:53.940 Ryan: full part shipping channel. So let’s see what he says it fast like.
40 00:05:54.580 ⇒ 00:05:57.319 Ryan: So cause I think, yeah, I was like
41 00:05:57.560 ⇒ 00:06:03.110 Ryan: working on the shipping stuff for shopify.
42 00:06:03.260 ⇒ 00:06:09.450 Ryan: And maybe this is related just like, I can’t really figure out like why, Kim was saying
43 00:06:09.670 ⇒ 00:06:13.510 Ryan: that the shipment amount was too low for ship station.
44 00:06:13.880 ⇒ 00:06:20.950 Ryan: and then, even when I try to like query it in the source. It’s really that amount to.
45 00:06:21.410 ⇒ 00:06:25.929 Ryan: I I like, I got a bit stuck there. But maybe this is like
46 00:06:26.040 ⇒ 00:06:35.290 Ryan: related to what Chuck is seeing in terms of like having issues with the shipping quantity and shipping amount
47 00:06:35.480 ⇒ 00:06:42.020 Ryan: or unison ship station or something. Split orders. But yeah, we need to get more context there. So.
48 00:06:42.420 ⇒ 00:06:43.250 Amber Lin: Hmm!
49 00:06:43.720 ⇒ 00:06:48.939 Amber Lin: So last time, what did Kim say? What does she say that was off.
50 00:06:50.070 ⇒ 00:06:54.560 Ryan: She said that the shipping cost for shopify was.
51 00:06:55.410 ⇒ 00:07:03.839 Ryan: Feels a bit too low, but she didn’t really give us a number as as to like how it should be like, what what number. It should be something.
52 00:07:04.220 ⇒ 00:07:05.490 Amber Lin: So, yeah.
53 00:07:05.945 ⇒ 00:07:13.200 Ryan: Like the 2 things that I’m yeah, we. We need to ask him, like what the actual shipping amount is. So.
54 00:07:13.660 ⇒ 00:07:14.390 Amber Lin: Let’s do that.
55 00:07:14.390 ⇒ 00:07:16.110 Ryan: We, we have a number. Yeah.
56 00:07:16.380 ⇒ 00:07:19.480 Amber Lin: Okay, let me, yeah. Okay.
57 00:07:19.480 ⇒ 00:07:23.989 Ryan: Yeah, basically, the 2 things that I’m working on at the moment is it is that one? This? Yeah, yeah, sure. Sure.
58 00:07:30.050 ⇒ 00:07:33.650 Amber Lin: I have a feeling Kim’s gonna direct us to chuck.
59 00:07:33.750 ⇒ 00:07:35.210 Amber Lin: So I’m gonna send.
60 00:07:35.210 ⇒ 00:07:36.389 Ryan: Yeah, that’s okay.
61 00:07:36.390 ⇒ 00:07:48.790 Amber Lin: And then ask her to schedule. Help us schedule a meeting with Chuck, because she probably is meeting or talking to him more frequent than we are. I don’t think Chuck checked checks our channel that much.
62 00:07:49.190 ⇒ 00:07:50.279 Amber Lin: so I’ll let Kate.
63 00:07:50.280 ⇒ 00:07:50.660 Ryan: M.
64 00:07:50.660 ⇒ 00:07:56.149 Amber Lin: Go ask Chuck, probably for tomorrow. I don’t want you to deal with this today.
65 00:07:57.030 ⇒ 00:07:58.290 Ryan: Okay? No. Problem.
66 00:07:59.530 ⇒ 00:08:04.080 Amber Lin: Yeah, do we end up merging the pr.
67 00:08:04.960 ⇒ 00:08:12.009 Ryan: Yeah, we did. Yeah. So essentially, the 2, I guess main
68 00:08:12.570 ⇒ 00:08:19.340 Ryan: things that we need to work on is the the that one the shipping cost, at least, for
69 00:08:19.450 ⇒ 00:08:28.399 Ryan: from Kim’s eyes, in terms of like ship station and shopify. And then the for the Amazon piece, it’s the the fees.
70 00:08:28.540 ⇒ 00:08:33.150 Ryan: basically. And that’s the one that I’m also like currently working on
71 00:08:34.947 ⇒ 00:08:35.779 Amber Lin: If we could.
72 00:08:35.780 ⇒ 00:08:36.949 Ryan: Least like match.
73 00:08:37.100 ⇒ 00:08:43.909 Amber Lin: Will the dashboard me be matched up, do you think? Is this the last 2 items we need to work with.
74 00:08:45.670 ⇒ 00:08:48.110 Ryan: I would think so. Yeah.
75 00:08:49.210 ⇒ 00:08:50.820 Amber Lin: Okay, that’s really good.
76 00:08:54.260 ⇒ 00:08:55.849 Amber Lin: Oh, can you send me.
77 00:08:55.850 ⇒ 00:08:56.780 Ryan: I think the bigger one.
78 00:08:58.590 ⇒ 00:09:00.380 Ryan: What were you saying?
79 00:09:00.600 ⇒ 00:09:01.720 Ryan: Oh, sure, sure.
80 00:09:03.320 ⇒ 00:09:04.800 Amber Lin: The Amazon fees.
81 00:09:04.800 ⇒ 00:09:10.309 Ryan: Yeah, I think the bigger one is the Amazon fees. Yeah, like, in terms of like amount that’s off.
82 00:09:11.230 ⇒ 00:09:11.730 Amber Lin: I see.
83 00:09:11.730 ⇒ 00:09:18.720 Ryan: Because we don’t know at the moment like how much the marketing amount. I mean, the shipping amount is like off.
84 00:09:19.630 ⇒ 00:09:23.939 Amber Lin: Oh, so fixing the shipping costs will help the Amazon fees too.
85 00:09:27.418 ⇒ 00:09:29.090 Ryan: I’m not sure yet.
86 00:09:29.620 ⇒ 00:09:35.970 Amber Lin: Oh, okay. Oh, why is it? Why is the Amazon fees often, or is that what we’re trying to figure out.
87 00:09:40.280 ⇒ 00:09:42.210 Ryan: It was like based on like
88 00:09:43.330 ⇒ 00:09:47.969 Ryan: 2 things. The 1st was like, add, I mean a marketing cost.
89 00:09:48.250 ⇒ 00:09:53.939 Ryan: Oh, basically, all the costs that weren’t associated to any order. Id.
90 00:09:54.480 ⇒ 00:09:55.590 Amber Lin: Which was.
91 00:09:55.750 ⇒ 00:10:00.115 Ryan: Marketing cost cost of fulfillment, and
92 00:10:02.700 ⇒ 00:10:10.370 Ryan: like some Fba, related fees. I believe Steven already like sent like a
93 00:10:12.460 ⇒ 00:10:30.820 Ryan: like confirmation that those still should be added which we don’t have at the moment, because we are basically linking fees to order Ids in Amazon, and like those fees aren’t linked to any order id at all. So we’ll have to like, figure out how to add those
94 00:10:31.550 ⇒ 00:10:32.570 Ryan: basically.
95 00:10:33.410 ⇒ 00:10:38.040 Amber Lin: I see. Can you send me the dashboard link? I’m also.
96 00:10:38.360 ⇒ 00:10:44.770 Ryan: Oh, I sent it in the I’ll send it in in slack as well. I already. I sent it in.
97 00:10:44.980 ⇒ 00:10:48.690 Amber Lin: Oh, I see I see let me.
98 00:10:49.250 ⇒ 00:11:08.420 Amber Lin: So yesterday, Kim said. The biggest issue that’s stone needs to resolve the shipping cost and shopify report. She said. I had an idea to assign average cost to each product type sold versus relying on ship station and units, reports both of which seems difficult to get and not totally accurate.
99 00:11:09.220 ⇒ 00:11:12.459 Amber Lin: I’ll I’ll just copy that message and send it to you.
100 00:11:13.440 ⇒ 00:11:15.939 Amber Lin: So this is what Kim said.
101 00:11:20.960 ⇒ 00:11:24.220 Amber Lin: Oh, I’ve requested access.
102 00:11:27.940 ⇒ 00:11:28.540 Ryan: Oh!
103 00:11:28.540 ⇒ 00:11:30.600 Amber Lin: Are you admin, or is it.
104 00:11:30.600 ⇒ 00:11:31.490 Ryan: This is.
105 00:11:31.910 ⇒ 00:11:33.330 Amber Lin: Okay, that’s okay.
106 00:11:34.700 ⇒ 00:11:37.609 Ryan: Should be admin. So yeah, let me let me add.
107 00:11:41.590 ⇒ 00:11:45.790 Ryan: I just approved it. So maybe you need to refresh.
108 00:11:46.650 ⇒ 00:11:47.210 Amber Lin: Oh.
109 00:12:01.730 ⇒ 00:12:03.820 Amber Lin: yeah, I can see it now. Great.
110 00:12:05.970 ⇒ 00:12:06.690 Ryan: Nice.
111 00:12:13.300 ⇒ 00:12:17.240 Amber Lin: Is there anything you want me to ask from Kim.
112 00:12:23.200 ⇒ 00:12:26.600 Ryan: Maybe just to clarify what she means by this message like
113 00:12:28.260 ⇒ 00:12:31.360 Ryan: Assigning average cost to each product versus
114 00:12:31.670 ⇒ 00:12:39.969 Ryan: relying on shipment, ship station and unity ports like, does she have
115 00:12:41.930 ⇒ 00:12:47.727 Ryan: like? I don’t know like, what’s the the more accurate one because she did. She does say it’s
116 00:12:48.790 ⇒ 00:12:54.930 Ryan: units and ship station doesn’t seem to be accurate, but maybe we need to.
117 00:12:56.700 ⇒ 00:13:05.670 Ryan: We need chuck to decide if this is the best way to show costs or or what just like.
118 00:13:06.200 ⇒ 00:13:12.459 Ryan: I’m not sure if, like assigning average cost would be accurate either. Right? Because, like, that’s not the actual cost.
119 00:13:14.390 ⇒ 00:13:14.950 Amber Lin: True.
120 00:13:16.610 ⇒ 00:13:20.460 Amber Lin: Okay, so ask her. I’ll ask her to clarify
121 00:13:22.490 ⇒ 00:13:29.730 Amber Lin: on that ask her if she has amount for shipping cost, and then.
122 00:13:29.730 ⇒ 00:13:36.399 Ryan: Yeah, like, and like, how to calculate the average cost. If ever we need to go that route.
123 00:13:36.960 ⇒ 00:13:41.929 Amber Lin: I see, I see. So ask her what she means and how she calculates average cost.
124 00:13:46.610 ⇒ 00:13:59.010 Amber Lin: is there anything we can tell, Ben? I know it’s just been. It’s I know you’re like. This is not the best day to do that. I just want to. I want Ben to know that we’re doing some sort of progress.
125 00:13:59.621 ⇒ 00:14:07.000 Amber Lin: Is this dashboard? Okay for him to look at? Or is it still off like? Do you think he’ll have objections.
126 00:14:14.010 ⇒ 00:14:23.019 Ryan: I think we need like before sending it to Ben. Maybe we have to like, have Kim and Steven sign off at least to Amazon and shopify.
127 00:14:23.320 ⇒ 00:14:24.080 Amber Lin: Hmm.
128 00:14:25.510 ⇒ 00:14:29.520 Ryan: Because I don’t want to send it to Bennington like Benson says.
129 00:14:29.550 ⇒ 00:14:30.460 Amber Lin: Send it back.
130 00:14:30.460 ⇒ 00:14:33.990 Ryan: He’s still not moving, and then he gets more pissed or something. Yeah.
131 00:14:34.150 ⇒ 00:14:41.759 Amber Lin: I see. Okay, okay, I’ll make an update of. Tell him what we’re investigating right now.
132 00:14:42.250 ⇒ 00:14:42.860 Ryan: Yeah.
133 00:14:43.270 ⇒ 00:14:44.670 Amber Lin: Okay. And then.
134 00:14:44.670 ⇒ 00:14:48.320 Ryan: For shopify. It’s the shipping cost, and for Amazon it’s the fees.
135 00:14:54.320 ⇒ 00:14:55.820 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
136 00:15:02.830 ⇒ 00:15:09.099 Amber Lin: I’ll and I’ll ask him if she can connect Chuck to a meeting for tomorrow.
137 00:15:09.580 ⇒ 00:15:10.800 Ryan: Yeah, that’s great.
138 00:15:11.110 ⇒ 00:15:11.760 Amber Lin: Okay.
139 00:15:12.940 ⇒ 00:15:14.190 Amber Lin: Sounds good.
140 00:15:14.340 ⇒ 00:15:16.899 Amber Lin: I hope everything goes well.
141 00:15:17.250 ⇒ 00:15:20.590 Amber Lin: How is your family all there right now.
142 00:15:21.030 ⇒ 00:15:24.360 Ryan: Yeah, we had to like, Come here. Everyone like
143 00:15:24.670 ⇒ 00:15:28.340 Ryan: it was at least a good thing, mister. We were still able to see her
144 00:15:28.610 ⇒ 00:15:31.590 Ryan: yesterday, like at the hospital, basically.
145 00:15:32.120 ⇒ 00:15:32.710 Amber Lin: You know.
146 00:15:32.710 ⇒ 00:15:37.300 Ryan: In our like final votes, or something, but idea.
147 00:15:39.650 ⇒ 00:15:40.290 Amber Lin: It’s really tough.
148 00:15:40.290 ⇒ 00:15:40.840 Ryan: Yes.
149 00:15:41.260 ⇒ 00:15:45.099 Amber Lin: I think about these things, and I get really scared every single time.
150 00:15:46.160 ⇒ 00:15:52.429 Ryan: Yeah, it’s like, really different when it like happens to you, like, it’s yeah, it’s.
151 00:15:52.430 ⇒ 00:15:53.420 Amber Lin: Yeah.
152 00:15:53.420 ⇒ 00:15:55.829 Ryan: And experience stuff like that. So.
153 00:15:56.110 ⇒ 00:15:57.350 Amber Lin: It sucks.
154 00:15:57.860 ⇒ 00:16:00.920 Ryan: I guess that’s how life is.
155 00:16:00.920 ⇒ 00:16:05.049 Amber Lin: Yeah, I think we’re all getting to the age where this will start happening
156 00:16:05.200 ⇒ 00:16:12.180 Amber Lin: like cool. You don’t think about it. But then it starts, it starts happening when you also get older.
157 00:16:12.760 ⇒ 00:16:14.419 Ryan: Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
158 00:16:16.310 ⇒ 00:16:21.689 Ryan: It’s it’s funny, like nowadays. Like, if you’re like, you have social media.
159 00:16:21.860 ⇒ 00:16:24.240 Amber Lin: Like they are like stages, right? Like.
160 00:16:25.063 ⇒ 00:16:31.250 Ryan: Pictures of you. Just see your friends pictures of like graduation or something, and then like having
161 00:16:31.380 ⇒ 00:16:36.020 Ryan: another another like stage, or like pictures of people have
162 00:16:37.120 ⇒ 00:16:39.860 Ryan: having kids and stuff like that or something. Yeah.
163 00:16:40.050 ⇒ 00:16:41.060 Amber Lin: Yeah, I know.
164 00:16:42.350 ⇒ 00:16:46.659 Ryan: This is like one of them as well. It’s it’s it sucks.
165 00:16:49.270 ⇒ 00:16:54.340 Amber Lin: Have you ever experienced this before? Or is this the 1st relative that passed.
166 00:16:55.060 ⇒ 00:16:59.340 Ryan: We have experienced it before, but like I was like
167 00:17:00.160 ⇒ 00:17:07.530 Ryan: like a lot younger. So it probably wasn’t that I’m not like
168 00:17:08.020 ⇒ 00:17:10.059 Ryan: didn’t affect me that much, but.
169 00:17:10.060 ⇒ 00:17:10.440 Amber Lin: That’s also.
170 00:17:10.440 ⇒ 00:17:14.010 Ryan: Not like helping a lot with all the stuff. And now, like I was like.
171 00:17:14.319 ⇒ 00:17:15.180 Amber Lin: See.
172 00:17:15.180 ⇒ 00:17:20.370 Ryan: Helping with all the the stuff, the documents, whatever that needed to be done. So.
173 00:17:20.839 ⇒ 00:17:26.759 Amber Lin: I see, I guess the more you help the more you actually feel the impact cause you can’t stay aware.
174 00:17:27.119 ⇒ 00:17:33.389 Amber Lin: Yeah, as a kid run away and not think about it. But if you are an adult, take care of them. Smart.
175 00:17:34.190 ⇒ 00:17:35.690 Ryan: Yeah, exactly.
176 00:17:39.930 ⇒ 00:17:40.929 Ryan: Yeah. It’s gone.
177 00:17:42.350 ⇒ 00:17:51.469 Amber Lin: Well, if you ever need to talk about it, I’m here. I I don’t know how much help I can do, but at least I hope work doesn’t feel overwhelming.
178 00:17:52.160 ⇒ 00:17:54.280 Ryan: Yeah. Nobody thinks. Thanks.
179 00:17:54.810 ⇒ 00:18:03.790 Amber Lin: Of course. Okay, go for a walk, if you can like sitting down, lets those emotions brew like, go to the gym like, just do whatever
180 00:18:04.000 ⇒ 00:18:06.429 Amber Lin: let’s disrupt yourself.
181 00:18:06.620 ⇒ 00:18:08.159 Amber Lin: I’ll go ask him.
182 00:18:08.950 ⇒ 00:18:10.360 Amber Lin: Cool. Sounds good.
183 00:18:10.730 ⇒ 00:18:12.359 Amber Lin: Yeah. Thank you for the meeting.
184 00:18:12.860 ⇒ 00:18:13.820 Ryan: Thanks, Amber.
185 00:18:13.960 ⇒ 00:18:15.449 Ryan: Have a nice rest of the day.
186 00:18:15.560 ⇒ 00:18:16.090 Ryan: Bye-bye.
187 00:18:16.090 ⇒ 00:18:16.910 Amber Lin: You too.
