When cross-border e-commerce buyers and sellers use logistics to transport goods, they will find that they can choose to pick up the goods themselves, or choose to ship through channels recommended by overseas warehouses. As many buyers begin to require the use of FBA self-pickup services, it is necessary for novice sellers to learn relevant knowledge, so this article will focus on the definition and process of Amazon self-pickup logistics services.
FBA self-pickup service, as the name suggests: is roughly equivalent to the door-to-door pickup function that the public understands. The seller places an order in the backend, and after the FBA cooperative logistics channel receives the instruction, it will pick up the express delivery based on the address filled in by the seller, and then deliver the box to the designated location.
Step 1: Complete the shipping address. If the background shipping address is set to a domestic warehouse, the cross-border e-commerce seller needs to change the address to the address of the overseas warehouse, so that it can automatically take effect after applying for the FBA self-pickup function.
Step 2: Choose a specific shipping channel after pickup. Some sellers like to choose UPS, and some sellers like to choose FedEx. In fact, it doesn’t matter which channel you choose, as long as it is a designated partner of Amazon. Just choose from the list. Of course, cross-border e-commerce sellers must confirm with overseas warehouses in advance and synchronize the final list.
Step 3: Cross-border e-commerce sellers enter the weight, size, volume and other logistics information of all products and packages based on the container data and standards provided by Amazon.
Step 4: When estimating the price, Amazon will calculate the shipping cost based on the weight of the final sealed box. Sellers should look at the calculated total price and breakdown items. If they agree with the price, click to accept the fee. .
Step 5: Cross-border e-commerce sellers should take the initiative to print box labels, and don’t forget to print the FBA box number and shipping label of the logistics channel, and give the label to the overseas warehouse for them to affix. The box can be shipped normally.
In short, the above is the definition and process of Amazon’s self-pickup logistics service. In the actual operation process, cross-border e-commerce sellers will find that there may be cheaper and simpler channels than Amazon’s self-pickup logistics service, so this self-pickup method is not the only option. Sellers should shop around before choosing. Make the best choice for the store.
