Amazon Shipping: What Is It and How Can 3PL Center Help

Finding the right shipping solution is crucial for the success of any e-commerce business. At 3PL Center, we are committed to enhancing your logistical operations by offering Amazon Shipping as a key service option. This integration provides improved shipping rates and services, ensuring that your products are delivered efficiently and reliably, enhancing overall customer satisfaction.

What is Amazon Shipping?

Amazon Shipping is an innovative delivery service provided by Amazon that offers direct pickup from sellers’ locations and delivers orders directly to customers. Amazon Shipping caters specifically to online sellers, not limited to those selling on Amazon.com. It’s designed to handle not only the bulk shipments of larger e-commerce players but also caters to smaller businesses aiming to streamline their shipping processes.

Benefits of Amazon Shipping

Amazon Shipping brings several key advantages to your logistics operations:

• Speed and Reliability: With Amazon’s logistics expertise, expect fast and dependable delivery of your shipments, enhancing customer satisfaction.
• No Hidden Fees: Amazon Shipping simplifies your cost calculations by eliminating weekend delivery surcharges and residential fees, making it easier to manage expenses.
• Broad Coverage: Deliveries are made seven days a week, ensuring that your products reach customers promptly — a crucial advantage in today’s fast-paced market.
• Transparent Pricing: Benefit from straightforward and predictable pricing, which helps streamline budgeting for shipping costs.
• Comprehensive Tracking: Keep track of your packages from your warehouse to your customers with 24/7 warehouse-to-door tracking. Photos on delivery and stop-by-stop tracking keep you informed and in control.
• Efficient Claim Process: Amazon Shipping offers an easy and quick claim filing process, with most issues typically resolved within 24 hours.
• Dedicated Support: Access specialized support whenever needed through email, chat, and callback options, ensuring help is always at hand.

Amazon Shipping with 3PL Center

At 3PL Center, we’ve negotiated an agreement with Amazon Shipping, aimed at utilizing their vast shipping network to provide enhanced logistics services and better rates for our NJ Warehouse customers.?

Key Benefits for Our Customers

• Expanded Carrier Options: Choose from a wider range of delivery services as Amazon employs their fleet alongside trusted carriers like USPS and UPS. This expansion means faster and more reliable service for your shipments.
• Easy Tracking: Every shipment will come with a tracking number provided by Amazon, which you can monitor at track.amazon.com for up-to-the-minute location updates.
• Simple Opt-In Process: To utilize Amazon Shipping, select ‘Amazon’ as as your Carrier and and ‘Amazon Shipping’ as your Service when placing orders. For the most cost-effective option, our auto rate shop feature can automatically find and apply the cheapest rates by setting both Carrier and Service to ‘Cheapest’.

Integrating FBA and FBM into Your Shipping Strategy

As you leverage Amazon Shipping through 3PL Center, it’s important to consider how this service aligns with your overall fulfillment strategy, particularly if you’re using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) or Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM). Amazon Shipping can be a valuable component in managing deliveries for both FBA and FBM operations, ensuring that your products reach your customers efficiently regardless of the fulfillment method you choose.

How Amazon Shipping Complements FBA and FBM

• Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA): While FBA takes care of storage, packing, and shipping, Amazon Shipping can be utilized for additional order fulfillment outside the Amazon marketplace. This is particularly useful for FBA sellers looking to expand their sales channels beyond Amazon without compromising on delivery quality.
• Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM): For merchants who manage their own fulfillment, Amazon Shipping offers a reliable way to handle deliveries with the same efficiency and speed as Amazon’s own operations. This can be especially beneficial during peak seasons or in regions where your primary logistics solutions face delays.

Incorporating Amazon Shipping into your FBA or FBM strategies not only diversifies your fulfillment options but also enhances your ability to manage customer expectations and delivery timelines.
