Summary:Introduction: With the arrival of the peak season, Amazon's US sites have experienced warehouse overflows, such as SMF3, GYR3, LAX9 and ONT8 warehouses have experienced contract deletion and modification. At the same time, because of these warehouse overflows, many goods have been distributed to remote warehouses by the Amazon system, seriously affecting sellers' stocking and shipment.
Introduction: With the arrival of the peak season of shipping, Amazon''''s US sites have experienced warehouse explosions, such as SMF3, GYR3, LAX9 and ONT8 warehouses have experienced contract deletion and modification. At the same time, because of the explosion of these warehouses, many goods were distributed to remote warehouses by the Amazon system, seriously affecting the sellers'''' stocking and shipment.
As expected, in today''''s Q4 peak season, many of Amazon''''s popular warehouses have exploded again. The warehouse explosion problem that has been plaguing sellers has become more serious due to the explosion of popular warehouses. Faced with unlimited warehouse explosions, what solutions do Amazon sellers have to deal with?
1. Use lock warehouse service
In order to better store goods and maximize the use of the volume of each warehouse, Amazon defaults to warehouse explosions. In the face of warehouse explosions, lock warehouses are the most common solution, locking goods in designated Amazon operating centers in the United States, reducing the additional costs caused by warehouse explosions, and improving warehousing efficiency. Sellers who ship goods through Amazon Global Logistics can enjoy free lock warehouse services.
2. Use warehouse consolidation service
Using Amazon warehouse consolidation service is the most effective way to prevent warehouse division, but Amazon sellers need to pay additional warehouse consolidation fees, and the first-leg logistics costs will also increase. At the same time, warehouse consolidation also needs to be charged according to the size and weight of the goods, and the charges for different sites will be different. Nowadays, with the "low prices" of major e-commerce platforms, the seller''''s profit is not high in itself, and this logistics fee is simply adding insult to injury.
3. Use third-party overseas warehouse services
The above two warehouse division solutions will increase the seller''''s logistics costs, but by using third-party overseas warehouse services, not only can the seller''''s warehouse division problem be solved, but also the warehouse rent of overseas warehouses is relatively cheap during the peak season at the end of the year.
Sellers using third-party overseas warehouse services can choose to send the goods to the designated overseas warehouse by themselves, and the decision is entirely in the hands of the seller. This not only solves the difficulties of multi-warehouse management, but also saves the cost of first-leg transportation. In addition, now is the time when Amazon charges three times the peak season warehouse rent, and the logistics cost for sellers to use FBA warehouses is very high. However, most third-party overseas warehouses do not have seasonal charges for warehouse rent, and the price is unified throughout the year. Overseas warehouses can also provide sellers with free warehouse rent discounts.
