★P Card: It is a debit card processed through the cross-border payment company Payoneer. This card is simple to apply for and quick to use, but it requires paying a considerable fee. Operators who are afraid of trouble can apply for it.
(4) Logistics selection
If the goods are shipped from China, the transportation time of the goods is 17 to 28 days. Depending on the nature and demand of the product, you can choose express delivery, express delivery, etc. . Many sellers will choose Amazon FBA first-leg shipping, which means that sellers store the goods in warehouses built in the areas where Amazon sells them, and have specialized personnel package the products and deliver the goods after receiving the order information.

The Amazon platform cooperated with the Sifang Express Company in logistics during the implementation of the project. The company was very considerate in terms of service. Although the steps required by the platform such as product packaging, cartoning, and labeling do not seem complicated, because the regulations are very strict, operators will spend a lot of energy and time if they do it themselves. In addition, many procedures need to be completed during the import and export of goods at customs, which are also handled by the logistics company.
Not only that, the Amazon platform will guide consumers to give priority to FBA products. If operators encounter relevant problems during operation, they can also consult Sifang Express.
