Notes from actually doing this
Why the tool exists, who it is for, and what it refuses to do — written plainly, by the people who made the decisions.
Why We Built SendShelf
A product bought to review sits unfilmed until the return window closes, and then it is yours whether you wanted it or not. Nothing in the usual workflow is watching that clock. So we built something that is.
Who SendShelf Is For — and Who It Is Not For
SendShelf is built for creators in the Amazon Influencer Program who buy products themselves to film onsite review videos. Here is exactly who that includes, and the three groups it does not.

Five half-finished products means five running return windows and nothing to show. SendShelf makes the production lane one card wide — and lets you swap, rather than walling you in.
What SendShelf Deliberately Doesn't Do
No scraping, no Amazon credentials, no automated requests to Amazon at all — enforced by a test that fails our build. Here is what we refuse to build, and the reasoning behind each refusal.

Track what you bought, what it cost, and how long you have left to film it — one product at a time, start to finish.
