Compared to other Amazon logistics transportation methods, FBA sea freight has the following advantages: firstly, it is cheap and suitable for transporting bulk goods; Two pairs of goods have lower restrictions and can transport larger and heavier goods. At present, there are two modes of transportation for FBA sea freight, one is sea freight plus express delivery, and the other is sea freight plus truck transportation. The transportation time and cost of the two are different, and merchants should choose based on the emergency situation of the goods.
No matter which FBA sea transportation method is used, it takes a longer time, but the acceleration time of sea transportation is slightly faster than that of sea freight plus card. Generally speaking, sea transportation from China to the West Coast of the United States takes about 30 days. Amazon merchants need to make advance shipping arrangements based on the sales situation of the goods when choosing sea transportation. Merchants need to prepare new goods based on the sales situation, and choose the appropriate FBA sea freight method to transport them to Amazon warehouses when the inventory of goods is insufficient to support two months. When making delivery plans, merchants must always pay attention to whether there are any abnormalities in logistics timeliness, whether there are any abnormalities in Amazon's warehousing, and make corresponding response plans based on the abnormalities.
In order to ensure the smooth delivery of goods to Amazon warehouses, merchants should try to avoid FBA shipping risks as much as possible. The transportation of goods should be divided into batches, and different batches of goods should be handed over to different freight forwarding companies for transportation. As the old saying goes, eggs cannot be put in one basket, and the same goes for ocean freight transportation. Although FBA sea freight is already a relatively mature transportation method, there are also certain transportation risks. By doing a good job in avoiding transportation risks, businesses can improve their ability to handle cargo crises.
