When it comes to Amazon’s logistics, many sellers are both happy and worried. The happy thing is that sometimes they can use foreign logistics methods for transportation; but the worry is that there are very few domestic logistics options, which is particularly depressing. In addition, the editor has used a lot of space to talk about Amazon’s foreign logistics operation mode before. However, when we do foreign cross-border e-commerce in China, there are few logistics options, and they are too slow. We also keep receiving complaints from customers. Sometimes we really grit our teeth and want to complain to the logistics company until it goes bankrupt. In fact, the editor thinks that this is also unavoidable. On the one hand, cross-border e-commerce is not strong enough in China, and on the other hand, the choice of logistics methods is indeed limited. So what are the domestic logistics methods of the Amazon platform? Let me tell you in detail, I hope you can benefit from it.
1. Amazon builds its own logistics warehouse and uses unified logistics distribution. Amazon is also well aware of the shortcomings of domestic logistics for overseas shipments, so Amazon has increased its layout in first- and second-tier cities in China and built many new warehouses for domestic merchants to use. It not only provides warehousing services, but also provides a unified logistics distribution model. Domestic sellers only need to place orders online and choose Amazon’s self-built logistics for shipment. Once the order is placed, the seller only needs to hand over the logistics to Amazon.
2. Merchants can cooperate with domestic third-party logistics. Due to the rise of cross-border e-commerce in recent years, a large number of third-party logistics companies have emerged in China to provide logistics services to merchants, but there are still differences in logistics timeliness with foreign countries. For some cities, Amazon cannot invest too much financial resources. After all, it needs to pay money and may not be able to recover costs in the short term. The capital occupation cycle is too long, so the best way for our merchants is to cooperate with domestic logistics companies, but the editor would like to remind everyone that there are too many logistics companies on the Internet. Everyone should try to choose a logistics company with high-quality evaluations to cooperate with, and be sure to pay attention to identification.
The above are a few points summarized by the editor. You can choose the logistics method that suits you according to your own business situation. As the saying goes, the one that suits you is the best.
