Amazon can gain a place in many cross-border e-commerce platforms. In addition to the benefits it has personally maintained, there is another key point: Amazon has its own unique logistics channels. This article will introduce what logistics services Chinese Amazon sellers need to know when opening a store?
1. Internationalization of domestic express delivery.
Amazon sellers are familiar with the UK. When Amazon purchases overseas, they can choose domestic Shentong and SF Express. However, because their main battlefield is not cross-border business, their coverage of overseas markets is limited. Therefore, this depends on whether these two express delivery services are available locally. If they are available, they can be selected.
2. Overseas warehouse.
Overseas warehouse simply means that sellers need to store the goods in the overseas warehouse of the Amazon platform first, and then sort, package and deliver the goods according to the situation of all orders in the store.
3. International parcels and international express delivery.
According to market data, a large part of China’s cross-border e-commerce export business is basically copied by the post office. It can be said that the postal network has covered the world, but its disadvantages are also significant. The logistics time is too long and the probability of package loss is very high.
4. International express delivery.
If it is not something very critical and urgent, try not to choose international express delivery. Its cost is very expensive. Ordinary buyers cannot afford this kind of freight and think it is too expensive.
5. Cross-border dedicated logistics.
This type of logistics usually chooses to transport goods abroad in the form of air charter, and then finds a third-party partner company locally to provide domestic distribution services.
2. The advantages of Amazon’s special logistics services are mainly as follows.
1. Amazon FBA is relatively fast, and its logistics after-sales service is guaranteed.
2. Choosing the spontaneous logistics of the Amazon platform, sellers can control costs to a greater extent, including the cost of products and logistics costs, and can avoid losses caused by adjustments to the Amazon platform policies. In addition, sellers will have more control over their own shipments. Sellers can decide on the disposal of returns and exchanges by themselves, and can also control the inventory of products.
