Unlike Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), which primarily handles shipping for products sold on Amazon.com, Amazon Shipping allows sellers to fulfill orders from other sales channels such as their own e-commerce websites, other marketplaces, or retail outlets. 3PL stores your products and fulfil your orders via Amazon shipping.
Are these the challenges you face? If so then Amazon shipping may be the best solution for you.
01. Complex shipping guidelines
Amazon has strict shipping guidelines that can be complex and demanding for retailers to meet consistently. From packaging requirements to delivery timeframes, adhering to Amazon’s standards can require significant time and resources, especially for smaller retailers or those new to the platform.
02. High shipping costs
Amazon’s shipping costs can be considerable, particularly for expedited or international shipments. Retailers often face pressure to offer competitive shipping rates to customers, which can eat into profit margins.
03. Transit times and delays
Are you facing unexpected delays? These disruptions can significantly impact your customers’ experience. Factors like customs clearance and unforeseen weather can affect transit times.
