The difference between overseas warehouses and FBA warehouses
First, the range of products is different
The selection range of overseas warehouses is more comprehensive than that of FBA warehouses, such as products with large size and heavy weight. 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.
Second, the first leg service is different
Some third-party overseas warehouses will provide sellers with one-stop services, such as customs clearance, tax payment, delivery to the warehouse, etc., while FBA warehouses will not provide first-leg customs clearance services for sellers.
Third, the requirements for products before entering the warehouse are different
The warehousing requirements of third-party overseas warehouses will not be as high as Amazon's FBA warehouses, and they will provide services for sorting and assembling products before putting them on the shelves. FBA warehouse warehousing conditions are stricter, the seller is required to deal with the outer box label and product label before delivery, if the outer box or product label is damaged, the seller will be required to sort it out first, and then enter the FBA warehouse, in addition, Amazon does not provide product assembly services.
Fourth, the distribution of products after entering the warehouse is different
As long as you have the goods, no matter which platform you sell on, the third-party overseas logistics warehouse can be used. The FBA warehouse is only provided to sellers on the Amazon platform, and Amazon will divide the seller's products into different warehouses for storage by default.
Fifth, the storage cost is different
If the volume of goods is large, the cost of using FBA warehouse is higher than using a third-party overseas warehouse. For products entering the FBA warehouse, the seller will increase the unit price of the product to calculate the inventory cost. If it is entering a third-party overseas warehouse, the seller can reduce the product** to obtain the number of customers.
Sixth, the support for product promotion is different
If the seller's rate increases the listing ranking, it helps the seller grab the shopping cart, etc., which will help increase the traffic and sales of the seller's store. If you choose an overseas warehouse, the seller needs to do promotion inside and outside the site to improve the performance of the store.
7. There are differences in the treatment of bad evaluation of products after delivery
Any bad reviews generated by FBA can be dealt with by Amazon, and sellers don't have to worry about it. If the use of a third-party overseas warehouse causes bad reviews, the overseas logistics and warehousing service provider may not be able to provide after-sales and complaint services. Generally speaking, there are very few bad reviews caused by logistics and distribution of third-party overseas logistics warehousing.
8. Differences in support for returns
FBA warehouse does not conduct any evaluation of the returned products and does not charge any fees to the buyer. Even if the returned product has no quality issues, Amazon will no longer sell the product to a second customer. This method of return is actually more customer-skewed, which will lead to a higher return rate. If the product is returned, Amazon will charge an additional fee, either for destruction or return to the seller. If it is a third-party overseas warehouse, if there is no quality problem with the returned product, the seller's label can be replaced or repackaged, and then sold again, which can reduce the seller's loss.
9. Differences in the risk of cargo storage
If there is a problem with the products you sell on Amazon and the account is suspended by Amazon, then the products stored in the Amazon FBA warehouse will also be temporarily frozen, if it is stored in a third-party overseas warehouse, you do not need to worry about this risk.
