What is the difference between FBA warehouse and overseas warehouse?
First, let's talk about the difference between overseas warehouses and FBA warehouses
The main difference between FBA warehouses and overseas warehouses is that FBA warehouses are self-operated by the Amazon platform, and overseas warehouses belong to third-party warehouses.
Second, let's talk about the advantages of third-party overseas warehouses compared with FBA warehouses
In the process of first-leg transportation, if the product label falls off and is damaged, then the FBA warehouse cannot handle the warehousing procedures, so this can only be solved in order to enter the warehouse smoothly, so what should I do at this time? Repatriate the goods to be processed in-country? Shipping is too expensive to cost-effective. However, if you choose the U.S. overseas warehouse service, it provides cross-border e-commerce sellers with services such as storage, return and exchange, transit functions, sorting, packaging, and distribution.
At the same time, the overseas warehouse service also includes a drop shipping and special car delivery, when packing, you can choose the packaging of the appropriate product, which can reduce the damage rate in the later delivery, thereby reducing the possibility of the buyer returning and exchanging the goods, and can also arrange a special car for delivery of valuable items to ensure the safety of the goods.
3. How to choose the right Amazon third-party U.S. overseas warehouse service
The first thing to consider is to choose the right one according to your own products, such as wooden products such as beds, cabinets, tables, chairs and other household items, new energy, lithium battery energy storage power supply, electric scooters, sports goods, electric bicycles, etc., the third-party overseas warehouse selection range is more comprehensive than FBA warehouse, such as large size, heavy products are also applicable. The FBA warehouse has certain restrictions on the size, weight and category of the selected products, so the selection is suitable for small size, high profit and high quality goods.
Fourth, what is the difference between overseas warehouse and FBA delivery?
1. FBA only provides delivery services for orders through the system, and the seller needs to label it. The overseas warehouse is flexible in operation, and can provide assembly, label changing, sorting and delivery and other operations.
2. Product specification differences, Amazon FBA warehouse is not acceptable for all products, and there are restrictions on larger products, FBA standard is a total weight of 20 pounds (908kg), 18 inches (46 cm) on the longest side, 8 inches (21 cm) on the shortest side, and 14 inches (36 cm) on the other side.
Generally, the goods received by the third-party overseas warehouse, in addition to the restrictions on dangerous goods, do not have such strict requirements for the specifications of the products, and the specific cross-border sellers can directly consult with the third-party overseas warehouse.
3. The first-leg service is different, some third-party overseas warehouses will provide one-stop services for sellers, such as customs clearance, tax payment, delivery to the warehouse, etc., while FBA warehouses will not provide first-leg customs clearance services for sellers.
4. Differential treatment of returns, returns are an inevitable problem of e-commerce, even if there is no problem with the product, FBA will not re-ship the returned product, but choose to destroy or send it back to the seller. The third-party overseas warehouse can change the label, label, change the packaging, etc., and the products will be returned for secondary delivery.
In short, FBA warehouses and third-party overseas warehouses have their own advantages and characteristics. Which one to choose depends on your actual situation in order to make the most informed decision.
