There is a method that everyone in the Amazon circle is using, that is, by finding a service provider to report BD.
The service provider will tell you that as long as any product in the store is eligible for a flash sale, you can apply for BD for the products in the store that are not eligible for the flash sale.
So what is the principle of BD reported by the service provider?
The basic principle is to use link A to sell ASIN B with flash deal qualifications, modify cookies through plug-ins, so that link B's flash deal qualifications are grafted onto products without flash deal qualifications, and then use the vulnerabilities of Amazon's flash sale port and ASIN information verification to use plug-ins to drop product information.
This is also the reason why many people post that there are more ASINs in the background that do not belong to them after the flash kill, and even some people use this loophole to infinitely BD.
But now that there is LD recommendation, the way that any product in the entire store can be reported BD does not work. Now the rule is that there is a BD recommendation in the store, and any product in the entire store can be reported BD (except for restricted products).
Under the premise of BD recommendation, the following 3 operations can be performed:
1.For example, product A has a BD recommendation, but product B does not have a BD recommendation, you can borrow the BD recommendation of product A to report product B.
2.Mix BD, put the ASIN recommended by BD or the store has a reported BD, and other products can be mixed into the reported BD to run together. Of course, we don't need to touch the existing variant relationship, and at the same time, Amazon only charges a fee for one event.
3.Continuous BD and Continuous Mixed BD. After the BD is finished, use the method in method 1 or 2 to re-operate and continue running.
Of course, continuous BD has always been a discouragement for me to operate, and it is likely to close a small dark room. Methods 1 and 2 can be used. With this update, the threshold for obtaining BD is higher, the number of participants will be reduced, and the effect of BD will be better than before.
Many people may ask, how to make links BD qualified. According to the links in our category and the feedback from many sellers, it is basically about two months after the link is on the shelves, and there is an LD recommendation if the order is okay. Run LD a few times to get the best effect, and then it's easy to get BD recommendations.
In fact, the most important factor influencing the recommendation of BD is pit production. Giving you the corresponding placements, how many GMVs you can bring to the table. Let's put it bluntly, the better your product sells and the higher the sales, the more likely you are to be recommended for BD.
Any e-commerce platform is the same, only the icing on the cake, not the charcoal in the snow. If your link performs poorly, you won't even be eligible for a limited-time flash sale, let alone a BD recommendation.
Starting from March 1st, the inbound configuration service fee has begun to take effect! Here's how fees are charged:
Amazon has three shipping methods to charge for them. This means that sellers can choose different shipping methods when creating shipments.
If you choose to send to a single location, you can provide customers with faster delivery speeds, while also reducing Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fulfillment fees and saving costs.
However, the fees are the highest, and different fees are charged depending on the distance of the location. For example, the cost of shipping to the Western U.S. will be higher than the cost of shipping to the rest of the U.S.
If you choose to ship to multiple locations, (usually 4 or more locations), the advantage is that the cost is lower or even free, and the disadvantage is that the delivery time is longer and the logistics cost will increase. However, this fee will only be waived if there are more than 4 warehouses or if you use AWD warehouses.
We try to create a shipment in the background and we can see that there are 3 options displayed:
First, Amazon optimizes shipment splitting (divided into 4 or more addresses), showing that 5 shipments are divided into 5 shipments, and no configuration fee is required;
Second, partial shipment splitting (2-3 locations), Amazon sends inventory to fewer locations and distributes inventory. This is where the configuration service fee begins.
3rd, minimum shipment split (send to 1 address), here choose a different region, there are different inbound fees.
Everyone is definitely reluctant to send to multiple warehouses, either to spend money to choose the lowest shipment split, or to use some ERP with lock-up function, of course, it is cost-effective in the long run; There is also the last way to directly find a service provider to lock the position, which can also avoid the service fee of warehousing configuration.
A large number of sellers in the UK received an email notification about the IEN code:
The email clearly requires UK sellers to provide an IEN for their shipments to a UK fulfillment centre.
From 1 April 2019, due to the impact of the UK Customs FHDDS, Amazon will be required to maintain certain records on behalf of non-EU sellers relating to products stored in Amazon's UK fulfilment centres, and all FBA shipments will be required to complete the corresponding IEN.
IEN (Import Entry Number) refers to the number assigned by HMRC to goods imported into the UK.
As long as the import customs clearance uses its own VAT number, find your freight forwarder to ask for this IEN code, if it is a double clearance tax channel, can not provide the IEN code, you need to choose the option that can not provide IEN, and describe the reason.
The reason for this large number of bans is that Amazon did not require them to be provided before, resulting in many sellers not paying attention to them and not submitting them.
Don't worry, the seller who received the email clicked in and directly read the checkbox account and recovered.
The goods received by Amazon in the last 60 days need to be filled in, and those before 60 days can be ignored.
Therefore, my advice is to update the IEN status in a timely manner, regardless of whether you have an IEN code or not, to prevent Amazon from making a sudden inventory on any day, otherwise Amazon will also treat you as "not following UK VAT and customs obligations", and after 60 days, you will be directly restricted from warehousing.
In addition, it is not recommended to use the dual customs clearance model, that is, one VAT number for customs clearance of goods from multiple different stores, which may have an impact on store operations (account association risk).
