In recent years, Amazon for FBA layout, surface spread more widely, in particular to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, China station and India and other countries and regions, as the most prosperous cross-border electricity market, the United States is everywhere warehouse. The Amazon FBA is inevitable. So the understanding of the FBA nature of cross-border electricity supplier is certainly not less, why Amazon sellers love using FBA?First, reduce the management cost by FBA to FBA head delivery and customer service, the total profit is much better than in the eBay, this is one of the.Two, improve the sales speed of some businesses may not be how willing to buy goods in third party sellers, and may be more concerned about the goods FBA.1. when the buyers know the product is handled directly by Amazon, the third party sellers do not trust the buyers, they may be more inclined to choose the Amazon goods. May they feel that the third party will not handle orders and timely delivery such as amazon. Or they had in the third party sellers that have bad purchase experience, so the natural conflict is can hardly be avoided. Secondly, considering the quality problems of products, even if the third party sellers to price is lower than the Amazon, there are still many buyers might be more willing to choose the amazon.2.: free shipping for the price to consider more customers see Amazon marked preferential products, can be served free in two days, I believe everyone will love it. FBA Amazon free shipping activities (super money) and primeshipping (preferential transport). So buyers can put Amazon and FBA products together with transport. The seller can also choose the next day service. 3. exposure rate high: FBA product search page preceding opportunities in the Amazon more.FBA commodity price does not include shipping and handling charges. In the course of " lowprice" under the condition of the search, the search page will appear in the upper part, although some sellers than the price FBA the price is low, but need to pay the postage. These products are in the apparent position of Amazon's product page, also have FBA knowledge table. The Amazon list together in " buybox" (only in non media products).Three, buyers can put these products directly to amazon. Their logo added four, the seller in the list of non media product description.It is very suitable for those products of small volume, high profit of the seller. While other product advantage is not obvious, the average American storage than the benefits, the only advantage of outsourcing the seller's daily chores is not the Amazon, FBA brought huge sales and returns to many sellers.

With the rapidly development of international trade and transport services extending FBA LCL transport is widely used, but different from the FCL LCL transport transport, the transport demand has its particularity, independence, some problems are encountered in the actual operation process proposed here and we were discussing.1, LCL (Less Than Container Load, LCL) is refers to the carrier (or agent) to accept the owner checked insufficient number of FCL freight ticket after the goods according to the nature and classification of destination. Go to the same destination of the goods, to a certain number of assembled into the box. Due to a different owner of the goods box assembled together, so called lcl.In this case, the owner checked when filled with insufficient number of fcl. The classification, LCL consolidation, concentration, packing and delivery (LCL) are in the carrier of container freight station or inland container transshipment station.LCL can be divided into straight fight or fight, go straight refers to the container LCL cargo handling at the same port, not in unpacking the goods arrive at the destination before the cargo for the same port of discharge. This kind of service delivery is short, fast and convenient, the general strength of the company will provide such services only lcl. Trans splicing refers to the container port of destination of goods is not the same, in the middle need to unbox the unloading or transshipment. This kind of goods due to the port of destination is not a long time, when the ship and other factors, so the operation period is longer, even high freight.2, LCL generally cannot accept designated specific shipping companies, shipping companies only accept FCL cargo booking, and not directly accept LCL booking, only by freight forwarders (individual shipping companies strong through the logistics company) will fight to the LCL shipping company booking, almost all LCL is the freight forwarding company "do support, centralized distribution to transport, East China LCL distribution port basically for Shanghai port. The general freight agent due to the limitation of the source, can only focus on booking to several shipping companies, shipping companies rarely meet the specified requirements, so the turnover of LCL, try not to accept the designated shipping company, in order to avoid the check when unable to meet the requirements.3, negotiate with clients in the transaction, special attention should be paid to the transportation terms, so as not to each other after the letter of credit in check when found unable to meet the terms of transportation. We often encounter in the daily operation of L/C regulations do not accept freight LCL freight transport bill of lading, because the ship company does not directly accept LCL booking, bill of lading is a shipping company to the forwarder, and then HOUSE B/L issued by freight to the consignor shall not accept the goods, if L/C B/L, then the actual transportation management when there is no choice, not will cause L/C. Again, we in the process of transportation, found a single note: Goods must be support shipped in container on LCL basis and Bill of Lading to evidence he same and to show that all LCL. handling charges, THC and delivery order charges at thd port of discharges are prepaid. in the L/C of the original text can be seen the consignee will he should bear the cost of all transferred to the delivery person, this is when the shipper and the customer trade negotiations has not detailed negotiations caused by transportation clause.4, LCL ton to achieve accurate. LCL before delivery, asked the factory should measure the weight and size of goods to as accurately as possible, delivery to the designated freight storage warehouse, warehouse will normally be re measured, and will be re measured the size and weight of charges. In case of changing the factory packaging, should be required to notify the factory, don't wait for the goods to the freight warehouse, by forwarding the information fed back, often time is very tight, and then change the customs documents, it is easy to delay the declaration, or expedited customs charges and fees at Hong kong.5, some ports due to lack of LCL sources, high cost and other reasons, do the LCL freight forwarding company for less volume of goods to take the minimum fee, starting as low as 2 tons of freight, or less than 2 metric ton, according to 2 tons of freight charge. Therefore the volume of smaller cargo port is more to consider some of these factors in the transaction, in order to avoid the day after passive.6, for some routes and ports in the more remote, and the customer to deliver LCL cargo to inland points, closing to consult before signing the best confirmation, shipping companies and freight forwarding companies can undertake for these remote ports and inland delivery and related expenses before signing.7, local customs goods protected by trademark rights on the sensitivity and will be the focus of inspection. For IP related goods, should be completed in advance of "intellectual property declaration", regardless of the brand, whether the company or factory registered trademark or brand, customers should be authorized in advance. The book is ready related to the registered trademark or customer information; for the goods variety, asked a vote a variety of different types of goods should be single, making a detailed list of all goods name and number, we should not use a large class of goods instead of encoding will cause the customs declaration, inspection found doubt, is inconsistent with the actual goods, shall not be placed for bring trouble. Early detection of delay information and immediately take appropriate remedial measures, to ensure the orderly conduct of the third party logistics service.

1 and two are required the seller in advance stocking, have experience in warehouse management is very good, no need to worry about the seller warehousing and distribution problems.         2, can shorten the delivery time, improve customer satisfaction, to help store sales growth.3, the seller need to bulk shipments, delivery way general air express, shipping, logistics can effectively avoid the peak.  4, can provide return service for buyers.5, regardless of the choice of FBA warehouse or third party overseas positions, sellers are required to pay a monthly fee, warehouse logistics costs and other expenses.6, in addition to the seller's product control, but the two have to provide customer service, let the seller know inventory.The difference between the 1. selection rangeAmazon FBA warehouse to selection of size, weight, categories are limited to a certain extent, so the selection bias in small volume, high profit and good quality products.If the selection of third party overseas positions, selection of positions to wide range than FBA, such as large volume and weight are also able to find a suitable third party overseas positions. In other words, can enter the Amazon FBA storage products will be able to enter the third party overseas positions, but can enter the overseas third party warehouse products can not enter the Amazon warehouse FBA.The difference between the 2. process serviceAmazon FBA warehouse does not provide the head clearance service for sellers.Some overseas third party warehouse services will provide head clearance service to the seller, or even include paying taxes, delivery to the warehouse all in one service.3. requirements for products before placing the differenceAmazon FBA warehouse warehousing requirements more stringent, the seller need to paste box labels and labelling of products before shipment, if the carton or product labels are damaged, will require the seller to arrange, and then to enter the warehouse FBA. Also need to be reminded that Amazon does not provide the product assembly service.The third party warehousing requirements of overseas positions will not be so high as Amazon FBA storage will even provide shelves before finishing and assembly service.4. of the products gathered in the distribution of the differenceAmazon is the default position, often will be the seller of the product are distributed to different warehouse of mixed reservoir; and the third party overseas positions in general will be focus on goods in the same warehouse management.In addition, FBA warehouse is only provided to the sellers on the Amazon platform use. Third party overseas positions are not required, as long as you have the goods, no matter in which the sale platform can be rented. In addition, third overseas positions also has a transfer function, if the seller has at the same time, the use of third party overseas positions and FBA positions, the season can be directly from the third party overseas warehouse transfer goods to warehouse FBA, save from the domestic delivery time.The difference between the 5. warehouse costThe selection of overseas warehouse costs are not low. In general, if the volume is large enough, the use of FBA warehouse cost more than third overseas positions. However, entering the warehouse FBA products, the seller can share the storage cost by improving product price. If the third party is to enter the overseas positions, can lower the price to get customers.6. of the differences in product promotion supportFBA, the Amazon platform will increase the exposure of sellers of products, such as improving the seller's Listing ranking, such as shopping cart help sellers snatch, these are conducive to improving the flow and sales of sellers shop.If the selection of third party overseas positions, overseas warehouse service providers such as Amazon is not possible, to the seller of the products provide a platform or increase the exposure degree on the platform. The seller needs to do their own internal and external promotion to increase the performance of the shop station.The difference between the 7. for the delivery products after bad treatmentFBA caused by any difference in assessment, can be removed by Amazon, sellers do not need to worry about. If you use third party overseas positions caused by the difference in assessment, overseas warehouse service providers can provide customer service and service complaints, if provided, may not be able to successfully eliminate the customer left a bad rating.8. for different return supportAmazon is the support of customer unconditionalreturn, FBA warehouse to return goods will not conduct any identification, will not charge any buyers. Even if the returned products do not have quality problems, Amazon will not be again sold to second buyers. This return actually is more "biased" customers, will lead to a higher rate of return. If the product is returned, destroyed or returned both sellers, Amazon will also charge a fee.If the third party of overseas positions, to return to the product, if not the quality problem, can change the label for the seller or re packaging, and then sold again, can reduce the loss of the seller.The differences of the 9. goods storage riskPut the goods in the overseas positions, there is a potential security risk. Placed in the FBA warehouse, associated security and Amazon security account. If you have problems in the Amazon sales of products, Amazon account has been closed, then put in the Amazon FBA warehouse the goods will be temporarily sealed; if it is stored in the overseas third party warehouse, then do not worry about this risk.The same situation above, it is not difficult to see, regardless of the choice of FBA, or third party overseas positions, have their strengths and weaknesses. The seller can choose to use the FBA warehouse or third party overseas positions according to their actual situation.

Many small sellers do not know the difference of overseas positions and FBA positions where, even experienced sellers can not completely clarify the relationship between said. To this end, Xiao Bian for you to sort out a warehouse overseas and FBA comparative information, to see what they are in the end what is the difference.OneThe similarities between using FBA warehouse and third party overseas warehouse1 and two require sellers to stock in advance. They have good warehouse management experience, and don't need sellers to worry about warehousing and distribution.2, can shorten the delivery time, enhance customer satisfaction, sales growth in the store help.3, sellers are required to bulk delivery, the delivery of the general choice of air, express, sea transport, can effectively avoid the peak logistics.4, all can provide the exchange service for the buyer.5, regardless of the choice of FBA warehouse or third party overseas positions, sellers are required to pay a monthly warehouse rent, logistics costs and other expenses.6, the product is outside the seller's control, but the two have customer service, so that sellers know the inventory situation.TwoDifferences between the use of FBA and the third party overseas warehouseThe difference between the 1. selection rangeAmazon FBA warehouse to selection of size, weight, categories are limited to a certain extent, so the selection bias in small volume, high quality, good product;If the selection of third party overseas positions, selection range than FBA wide positions, such as large volume and weight are also suitable for. In other words, that is able to enter the Amazon FBA warehouse products will certainly be able to enter the third party overseas warehouse, but can enter the third party overseas warehouse products may not be able to enter Amazon FBA warehouse.2. head travel service differencesAmazon FBA does not offer custom clearance services for sellers;Some third party overseas warehouse service providers provide head clearance service to the seller, and even include one-stop service including tax payment and delivery to warehouse.3. requirements for products before placing the differenceAmazon FBA warehouse warehousing requirements more stringent, requires the seller before shipment in handling paste box labels and product labels, if carton or product labels are damaged, will require the seller to arrange, and then to enter the warehouse FBA. And Amazon does not provide product assembly service;Third overseas warehousing requirements will not be as high as Amazon FBA warehouse, before the shelves will provide the collation and assembly of products services.The difference of 4. products gathered in the distribution of theAmazon is the default sub warehouse, often the seller's products scattered to different warehouses for mixed storage; and third overseas warehouses will generally put the goods in the same warehouse centralized management.In addition, the FBA warehouse is available only to sellers on the Amazon platform. The third party overseas warehouse does not have this requirement, as long as you have the goods, no matter which platform to sell, you can use the third party overseas warehouse. In addition, third overseas positions also has a transfer function, if the seller has at the same time, the use of third party overseas positions and FBA positions, the season can be directly from the third party overseas warehouse transfer goods to warehouse FBA, save from the domestic delivery time.5. differences in warehousing costsThe cost of selecting overseas warehouses is not low. In contrast, if the volume is large, the cost of using the FBA warehouse to compare third party overseas warehouses will be higher. However, when entering the FBA warehouse, the seller can increase the unit price to share the storage cost. If you are entering the third overseas warehouse, you can lower the product price to obtain customers.6. differences in product promotion supportFBA, the Amazon platform will increase the exposure of sellers of products, such as improving the seller's Listing ranking, such as shopping cart help sellers snatch, these are conducive to improving the flow and sales of sellers shop.If the selection of third party overseas positions, overseas warehouse service providers such as Amazon is not possible, to the seller of the products provide a platform or increase the exposure degree on the platform. Sellers need to do their own promotion inside and outside the station to increase the store's performance.7. differences in the differential handling of products after shipmentFBA caused by any difference in assessment, can be removed by Amazon, sellers do not need to worry; if you use third party overseas positions caused by the difference in assessment, overseas warehouse service providers may not be able to provide customer service and service complaints, if provided, may not be able to successfully eliminate customers left in difference review. General third party overseas warehouse, there is little difference caused by logistics delivery.8. differences in return supportAmazon is supporting customers unconditional return, FBA warehouse for returned products will not be any identification, nor will receive any fees buyers. Even if the returned product has no quality problems, Amazon has no longer sold the product to second buyers. This way of return is actually more partial to customers, resulting in higher return rates. If the product is returned, whether it is destroyed or sent to the seller, Amazon will charge another.If the third party is to return overseas positions, products, and overseas positions, if not the quality problem, can change the label for the seller or re packaging, and then sold again, can reduce the loss of the seller.9. differences in risk of goods storagePlacing the goods overseas is a potentially safe risk. Placed in a FBA warehouse, its security is associated with Amazon account security. If you have problems in the Amazon sales of products, Amazon account has been closed, then put in the Amazon FBA warehouse the goods will be temporarily sealed; if it is stored in the overseas third party warehouse, then do not worry about this risk.Through the above similarities and differences, it is not difficult to take a fancy to, regardless of the choice of FBA, or the third party overseas warehouse, have their own strengths and weaknesses. Sellers can choose to use FBA warehouse or third party overseas warehouse according to their actual situation.ThreeOverseas warehouse and FBA warehouse have their own advantagesAdvantages of overseas positions for sellers:1, shorten the time and improve efficiency.2, reduce logistics costs and customs clearance costs.3, enhance the profits of products.4, a large number of small orders to achieve, improve turnover.5, efficient management of goods, quick processing orders.6, enhance product exposure, forming brand effect, scale effect, improve product competition rate.7, upgrade the traditional trade model to overseas warehouse trade, shorten the trade process, and reduce the whole trade risk.Advantages for buyers (consumers and retailers):1, a large number of suppliers to choose from2, commodities are abundant, and the quality is fully guaranteed3, see goods convenient, and flexible free procurement, reduce inventory unsalable risk4, reduce the company's investment and reduce operating costs5, shorten the delivery and return timeAdvantages of FBA:1., improve Listing rankings, help sellers become specialty sellers and grab shopping carts, increase customer confidence and increase salesMore than 2. years of rich experience in logistics, warehouses around the world, intelligent management (2012 acquisition of robotics manufacturing company Kiva Systems)3. speed of delivery speed (warehouse mostly near Airport)4. Amazon professional customer service5. erase the bad disputes caused by logistics6. exempt from all FBA logistics charges for products priced at more than 300USDDisadvantages of FBA:1. generally speaking, the cost is slightly higher than the domestic delivery, but also depends on the weight of the product (especially the FBA delivery on the third party platform)2. flexibility (common short board, all overseas positions but the other third parties or overseas positions can have special Chinese customer to deal with some problems in FBA, but only with the English and customer communication, and communicate by email reply not to the third party warehouse overseas customer service so in a timely manner)3., if the preliminary work is not done, the label scanning problem will affect the warehousing of goods, and even can not enter the library4. return address only supports USA (if you are FBA of USA site)

In addition to other countries in the establishment of the overseas warehouse, generally used for electronic commerce. The storage of the goods from the warehouse to the country's exports by sea freight, air freight, in the form of buyers through online orders to buy goods, the seller only in the online operation, overseas warehouse orders to complete the order fulfillment. The goods from the buyer's country issued, greatly shorten the required delivery time from their logistics.The warehouse is connected or a key node on both sides of the modern logistics, the nodes are located overseas not only is conducive to the expansion of overseas markets, but also reduce the cost of logistics. Have their own overseas warehouse, from the buyer's country soil delivery, so as to shorten the order cycle time, improve the user experience, enhance the rate of repeat purchase, sales break the bottleneck, to a higher level!Simply for the majority of Chinese e-commerce sellers demand, one-stop service for the seller to provide warehousing, sorting, packaging and delivery of such items. The seller will store the goods to overseas warehouse, when buyers demand, the seller can make quick response to the first time, sorting and packaging of goods timely inform the foreign warehouse, warehouse and transport from the country to other regions or countries, improve the logistics response time. At the same time, combined with the characteristics of the local foreign warehouse logistics, can ensure the safety of goods, accurate, timely, low-cost buyers arrive at the terminal.Chinese sellers by sea and air or express way will focus on goods shipped overseas warehousing center for storage, and the inventory management system for logistics carriers operating instructions issued.Step one: The seller will ship goods to overseas warehousing center, commissioned by the carrier or send goods to the carrier overseas warehouseThis can take international freight shipping, cargo or

the United States USPS freight courier charges, according to the weight of your product to distinguish*  *  *Why choose overseas positions   As everyone knows, the logistics has been the biggest weakness of transnational business development in recent years, the cross-border electricity supplier very rapidly, but the logistics is frequently reported warehouse explosion, delay, embargo news, and more. Although the logistics industry has always been committed to the development of new channels, but in the face of the growing number of cross-border electricity supplier delivery and transportation requirements of continuous improvement is bloated.In all the confusion, the strong performance of overseas positions in recent years seem to let us see the new direction of the cross-border electricity supplier logistics. "No" for goods weight and specification limits, delivery rate far exceeds the international logistics, the best buyers purchase experience, increasing overseas warehouse delivery ratio, which let us to the overseas positions see a glimmer of hope to solve the logistics problem.Although the overseas positions will be the ultimate way of multinational logistics providers also need the test of time, but this does not prevent us and discuss future prospects.      When the local delivery from the overseas market, buyers are more likely to get a sense of trust, through this transformation, turnover can grow exponentially, many sellers have been aware of this, big sellers generally tend to overseas warehousing. EBay Chinese had related statistics, found on the platform of eBay logistics cycle of a transaction generally in 5 to 30 days, significant fluctuations in time. Which faces many restrictive factors. Generally speaking, every like Christmas shopping season, the efficiency of multinational distribution will be significantly reducedIn addition, some unexpected factors have a headache, for example, from Chinese for goods exported to Europe and the United States, especially sales of great bags, such as Italy, Spain customs will easily check off the detained. The different national customs checks policy scale often, and often change, for the effect of the delivery time is very large. Therefore the buyer satisfaction decreased, which threaten the security of the account. Overseas buyers in online, buy goods from China, although there is a certain psychological preparation, transportation of time-consuming in general, if the waiting time interval more than 10-14 days, eBay received complaints buyers will surge, this time, many sellers will have to China refund processing, is a "harm for sale both sides". By the way of overseas warehousing, in addition to the cross-border electricity trade logistics risk "front" and eliminate outside, another role is to increase customer satisfaction, improve turnover.However, as we all know, there is the risk of investment, of course, the choice of overseas positions are also at risk, first of all, the goods must be sold, otherwise, easy to ballast, resulting in increased costs. Based on overseas positions rather than overseas positions, from almost all of the data and the trend of overseas positions is a breakthrough of cross-border electricity supplier, no doubt.From the first half of 2014 preliminary estimate, there are changes in several indicators fully demonstrate overseas positions, ability to support ascension sellers to sell and buyers experience has unique.The first: the largest overseas buyers market of European and American buyers, more and more requirements of local delivery and customer service service localization;Second: large size, large weight category sales growth increased rapidly;Third: solve overseas warehouse one-stop logistics based on the overall plan, effectively reduce the seller logistics costs, improve logistics stability.It can be said that no matter from the overseas warehouse service capacity of the cross-border electricity supplier logistics services, or from the actual trend, have been shown in the conclusion: the overseas positions above suspicion doubt is a breakthrough in the cross-border electricity supplier.As everyone knows, the problem of cross-border electricity supplier logistics service is not standardized, the buyer is complexity of different national laws and policies, as well as the differences between different countries and the buyers demand to buy the category of.If the seller from the actual operation found in overseas positions are not fully equipped with all the requirements, solve the logistics service which shows that the seller logistics service personalized needs of the current cross-border electricity supplier logistics, has put forward new requirements for the supply chain service provider. We may even see some big sellers, although highly trust overseas warehouse mode, but not completely trust overseas warehouse suppliers, and had to rush into danger self overseas positions. But since the positions of the very high cost, higher threshold, so as to choose the overseas professional supplier warehouse effectively.
