When choosing FBA first-leg transportation mode, cross-border e-commerce companies generally need to select the appropriate transportation mode based on their own company's capital turnover, product sales price, freight calculation method, timeliness requirements and other aspects, so as to ensure that the goods sold by Amazon will not be out of stock and the profit of product sales will not be affected.
The reason why Amazon sellers should consider the timeliness requirement when choosing FBA first-leg transportation mode is that the weight of product promotion on Amazon platform will be affected by the continuity of supply. Once the timeliness of the selected FBA first leg transportation mode is insufficient, resulting in the product out of stock phenomenon, the promotion weight of the product on the Amazon platform will decrease, and the longer the product out of stock time, the more difficult it will be to push the product in the later period.
Amazon sellers also need to consider the shipping method when choosing the FBA front-end shipping method. International logistics freight calculation can be divided into weight and volume calculation of two kinds. When choosing FBA head transportation, the seller needs to comprehensively consider the weight and volume of the goods to choose the delivery method with lower freight and meet the requirements of timeliness. For example, goods with large volume and light weight can be shipped together with goods with heavy weight but small volume, which can effectively avoid the increase of freight costs due to excessive volume or volume.
On the other hand, a company's financial ability also greatly affects how Amazon sellers choose FBA front-end shipping. In order to ensure that their products will not be out of stock, reduce transportation costs and continue to bring profits to the company, the seller must have a deep understanding of the foreign trade policy and trade barriers of the country where the FBA warehouse is located before choosing the FBA first leg transportation mode, so as to make adequate preparations for the FBA first leg transportation.
