January Money Saving Tip
If you are a cross-border seller, it is easy to lose money on FX. Amazon's currency conversion service does not offer the best rate in the market, so it is better to use a specialist FX service. A service like WorldFirst can save you 1-2% of your turnover. Margins are tight in retailing, and every little helps!
Channel of the month: Amazon European Fulfilment Network
Since Brexit, accessing the EU market has become more difficult and expensive. Shipping from the UK takes longer, and items often get stuck at customs. Sending to EU fulfilment houses is a mission.
Amazon's European Fulfilment Network (a.k.a. Remote fulfilment) is a great way to reliably deliver to EU customers, both on and off Amazon, from your UK Amazon FBA inventory. No local VAT numbers are required, and if you enrol your products, Amazon will adjust the pricing to account for the additional shipping and tax. If you are using FBA in the UK, it is a no-brainer!? The EFN covers Spain, Germany, France and Italy and is a great way to test demand for your products until you are ready to move to pan-EU FBA.
