What are the most common ways of Amazon logistics?

Logistics occupies a large part of the Amazon platform operation process and is also a very important link. For Amazon Chinese sellers, choosing a relatively cost-effective logistics has become one of the current pain points. When sellers do logistics on Amazon, they must not only consider the cross-border customs clearance, customs clearance, mode of transportation, transportation time and other issues, but also need to consider the freight cost of a single item, delivery speed, damage rate, packet loss rate and other issues. Once a suitable logistics method is not selected, it will not only fail to save logistics costs, but also may be negatively evaluated by buyers, resulting in a rapid decline in listing exposure, ranking, conversion rate, etc.

First, the common way of Amazon logistics distribution

There are three common ways of Amazon logistics distribution: Amazon FBA, third-party overseas warehouse and spontaneous goods.

1. Amazon FBA delivery

Many Amazon sellers will give priority to FBA delivery, not only because FBA logistics delivery speed is fast, customers are more trusted, more importantly, Amazon FBA can improve the listing ranking, and if there are bad reviews given by buyers due to logistics reasons, Amazon will help to delete. Of course, the relatively bad place of Amazon FBA is that the overall cost will be high, the first process operation is also very cumbersome, and the seller needs to clear customs, and the buyer's return rate is easy to rise, thereby increasing the cost of goods. If the seller does US FBA, the return address will only support the US

2. Third party overseas warehouse

Third-party overseas warehouse, compared with Amazon FBA, the cost is lower, can shorten the logistics time, conducive to the development of the local market. It should be noted that the inventory pressure of third-party overseas warehouses is relatively large, there is a risk of overstocking, and the management level is uneven.

3. Spontaneous cargo

The advantage of spontaneous cargo is that the operation is more flexible, and the storage cost is relatively low, which can reduce the cost of cargo. However, the exposure and ranking of listing are not as much as that given by Amazon FBA, and it is easier for buyers to give negative comments due to logistics. Meanwhile, spontaneous goods do not have Prime logo, so it is difficult to attract the attention of Prime members.

Spontaneous cargo is also divided into 3 categories: postal, express and special line. Although the weight is limited, the price will be cheaper; Express although the price is high, but can arrive quickly, timeliness is strong; As for the special line logistics, it is not only efficient, but also safer, and the praise rate is relatively high. Sellers should choose their own spontaneous goods according to the characteristics of their own products, buyers' requirements for time, location, logistics budget and off-peak season.

Second, Amazon peak season may encounter Amazon logistics distribution problems?

All Amazon sellers attach great importance to Amazon's peak season, and sales account for a fairly high proportion of the annual total. However, when orders come one after another, logistics will also peak, and this is the most prone to problems. Here are a few questions that many sellers may encounter:

① Customs clearance lag: some countries have a stricter review of the goods, and the inspection rate will be relatively high;

② Parcel delivery delay: in the peak season, the number of parcels is large, the logistics channel is easy to burst, and the delivery delay is more common;

③ There are cases of lost packages, switched packages, and wrong goods.

Therefore, in order to avoid encountering these problems in the peak season, the seller needs to be prepared for the early work of Amazon logistics distribution, the goods should be declared early, the relevant delivery channel information should also be understood in detail, and the market should pay attention to, in addition, about the logistics situation, you can consult the supplier, make an appointment in advance and cooperate with their needs.
