For many novice cross-border e-commerce companies, there are many things they don’t understand. So how many goods should a novice seller send for the first time on Amazon FBA?
1. The shipment quantity is not determined by the seller himself, but also depends on the store operation. For small goods with low value, 100 SKUs are enough, so that the pressure of clearing warehouses in the later stage is not great.
2. Shipping method.
1. Direct express delivery: DHL, UPS, FedEx and the like, and express delivery is free of appointment for warehousing, but it should be noted that Amazon is not the main body of customs clearance, and is not responsible for customs clearance and tax payment. It is necessary to make declarations and prepay tariffs and prepare local customs clearance importers in advance.
2. FBA sea freight first leg: sea freight + local customs clearance + destination country delivery, the whole price does not include tax, this kind of sea freight first leg has a long time limit.
3. Overseas warehouse transfer: put the goods in the overseas warehouse, one can do Amazon FBA, and the other can be sold on other platforms and shipped from overseas warehouses. Generally, there are many options for overseas warehouses to transfer to Amazon. You can also replenish the goods multiple times. Moreover, the customs clearance problem has been solved before the goods arrive at the warehouse, so there will be no big problem in sending them from the warehouse to Amazon later.
3. What to do if Amazon has limited shipments
1. Provide the product sales rate. As long as the sales rate increases, the Amazon inventory system will naturally increase the threshold for you and let you ship more goods.
2. Amazon has recently opened a practice to use Amazon’s official logistics AGL and actively apply to Amazon to increase the storage capacity (some sellers who receive emails from AGL only need to reply to confirm the activation, and the service is free.) This time, the service is opened, which can not only apply to increase the number of FBA shipments, but also open the lock warehouse function for free. Of course, there are also feedbacks from sellers who have tried it. The logistics fee is too expensive, and everyone can choose it as needed.
3. Gray operation: technical breakthrough of limited shipments. The various methods of breaking through restrictions that were previously hotly discussed by service providers have gradually spread. However, this method is risky, and even many sellers have encountered situations such as shipment cancellation.
Okay, that’s all about the quantity you need to ship to Amazon FBA for the first time. You can refer to the above three points for Amazon’s limited shipments. Sellers who are interested can read this article carefully. It’s always good to know more. Sellers can choose the most appropriate solution according to the actual situation of their own stores.
