Several delivery methods for Amazon FBA head journey? How to save costs? What are the methods? Well-planned FBA first-way delivery can not only save a large part of the cost, but also help sellers make stocking plans during the peak season. If the planning is not good, it may cause the phenomenon of out of stock. Sellers know that the occurrence of out of stock has a great impact on a listing. In order to avoid additional costs or losses caused by the destruction of the goods, the seller should choose a head-haul freight forwarding company with strong customs clearance capabilities, and the seller needs to pay attention to which method to choose.Amazon FBA first-way transportation delivery method:
Amazon is not responsible for the logistics and transportation, customs clearance and tax payment from domestic shipments to Amazon FBA warehouses. This requires sellers to choose the appropriate delivery method according to their own situation. There are mainly 4 types: direct express, empty dispatch, shipping and overseas warehouse allocation.
1. Direct express: fast time-effective, usually within 3-5 days, no appointment storage, suitable for emergency replenishment. For example, DHL, UPS red list, etc., the freight is generally around 35 yuan/kg. This is more suitable for light and small products with a relatively high price. On average, the freight borne by a single product will not be too high. However, recently, Amazon has also taken a long time from signing to listing, usually 3-5 days, so sellers should also take this time into account when choosing this method.
2. Air delivery: Air delivery + express delivery (some are also called special lines or air delivery), the time limit is short, generally within 10-15 days, free of appointment storage, generally double-clearing tax, no need to pay customs prepaid fees. In this way, the freight will be slightly cheaper, generally around 25-30 yuan/kg, which can be used alternately between direct express and sea freight.
4. Overseas warehouse allocation: the time limit is short and the method is flexible. This method may not be suitable for most sellers. After all, there are not many sellers who send overseas warehouses or have overseas warehouses. Of course, as Amazon FBA's storage costs are getting higher and higher, it is also a good choice to send inventory to cooperative third-party overseas warehouses before the peak season. This operation can avoid the peak period of peak season freight, and it will be more advantageous in terms of cost.
→Price comparison: overseas warehouse allocation < sea shipping < air plus dispatch < direct express.
→Comparison of delivery time: overseas warehouse allocation < direct express (the order of the first two also depends on which mode of transportation is used for overseas warehouse allocation) < air plus dispatch < sea freight.
Of course, these times can only be used as a reference, and other special circumstances are often encountered in actual delivery. Such as natural disasters, such as the impact of typhoons, and previous cases where cargo has been on fire and burned on board.
