Amazon AU does not seem to properly distribute inventories to different FC
Hello sellers, we have once one SKU with 40-50units in FBA. We noticed that about 40units just sits in a single FC for weeks and suddenly transfers are happening but only like 1-2units going to VIC, same with NSW, QLD, and very rarely to WA. I understand that Amazon Bot decides the distribution based on stats but unlike in US marketplace where inventories are well distributed across different States as soon as shipment arrives in a single FC, Amazon AU doesn’t seem to have good and optimized distributions of inventories to different States. Is there something or some settings in Seller Central that we may have missed to configure properly for AU marketplace for FC distributions?
Our issue is that for example when 2units transfers and arrives to QLD, immediately they’re sold in a day or two. Then it will take 1 to 2 weeks for the next transfers of about 2units to QLD again. I hope seller support will pick up this message and send as feedback to Amazon AU internal team.

You are right, they are terrible at this and i notice it most when amazon tells me to send my FBA shipments to WA, i go onto the product page on amazon and see it will take up to 2 weeks to arrive to east coast customers, (which is where the majority of customers live).
Indeed very frustrating
