Restock constraints
Unit economics
Reduce MOQ exposure, split the order, or wait until cash and sell-through support the buy.
Reorder math
Risk screen
Lost profit from uncovered lead-time demand: $0.00
Storage carry cost for the target supply window: $17.28
Supplier setting: Variable lead time
Reorder only after confirming current supplier price, ship date, and platform-specific quantity handling.
Use this only for repeatable inventory
A restock alert is useful for repeatable SKUs: wholesale case packs, private-label accessories, replenishable parts, or a supplier lot you can buy again. It is the wrong tool for unique thrift, estate, or garage-sale inventory.
The reorder point is lead-time demand plus safety stock. The rest of the tool asks whether the recommended order still works after margin, cash, MOQ, storage, and overstock risk.
Marketplace guardrails
eBay's out-of-stock option can hide a depleted bulk listing from search until quantity is refilled. That makes the reorder date operational, not just theoretical.
Amazon's Seller Central restock tools also frame restocking as a "how much and when" decision. Use platform reports when available, then use this calculator as an independent sanity check.
