Today, this article mainly introduces several differences between promoting Amazon FBA warehouses and third-party overseas warehouses for sellers, so that sellers can choose services as a reference in the future.
1. Differences in warehousing
FBA warehouses are much stricter. If some details are not done well, then they cannot enter the FBA warehouse. The requirements of overseas warehouses are much looser. Except for some dangerous goods, explosives and other prohibited items that cannot enter, the rest are basically OK. For example, if the outer packaging is damaged or the sealing tape is colored, the FBA warehouse cannot enter. The overseas warehouse can accept it and provide certain value-added services, such as changing the carton packaging, changing the sealing tape that meets the requirements of the FBA warehouse, and affixing labels, and then sending it to the FBA warehouse.
2. Differences in the speed of putting on the shelves
The speed of putting on the shelves of overseas warehouses is faster than that of FBA warehouses, especially in the peak season. When the hot FBA warehouses are out of stock, the goods have already entered the warehouse. But I can’t see the shelves, especially the delivery of UPS and Fedex is much slower than the shelves sent by trucks.
3. Differences in costs
Warehouse costs are the topic that sellers are most concerned about. Amazon warehouses will have relatively high storage costs, shelf costs, and storage costs for large and heavy products, so these products are suitable for overseas warehouses. For small products, fast turnover, and high-quality products, you can choose to store in FBA warehouses.
4. Differences in user recognition
Buyers and users generally recognize Amazon warehouses more and believe that Amazon can provide better service quality. So buyers will prefer Amazon shipments.
5. Differences in head-end logistics services
Amazon FBA warehouses do not provide head logistics services. All head services (head transportation, customs clearance, tax payment, delivery, delivery, etc.) require the seller to find an FBA freight forwarder to solve.
Overseas warehouses can generally provide head services, from domestic head services to one-stop freight services such as US clearance and dispatch, overseas warehouse delivery services, etc., which is very convenient.
To sum up, today I introduced the differences between Amazon FBA warehouses and third-party overseas warehouses, and I hope it will be helpful to friends who see the content.
