There are three main ways for Amazon, a cross-border e-commerce platform, to ship goods: FBA, third-party overseas warehouses and self-delivery.

1. FBA

Amazon Logistics is often referred to as FBA, the full name is Fulfilment by Amazon, which is a one-stop logistics service provided by Amazon, including warehousing, picking and packing, delivery, collection, customer service and return processing. But it is not responsible for customs clearance and delivery services from China to Amazon warehouses. In layman's terms, Amazon sellers can put their inventory in Amazon FBA warehouses, and Amazon will be responsible for delivery and after-sales.

2. Third-party overseas warehouses

Compared with Amazon's FBA, many issues of overseas warehouses are communicated with customers in a more timely manner, and the price is much more favorable than FBA.

3. Self-delivery

The choice of channel for self-delivery is generally based on the characteristics of the products sold (type, value, size, safety), the customer's timeliness requirements and location, logistics budget, and off-peak seasons. Usually, there are three main types of logistics: postal, express, and dedicated line.

2. Fast delivery time. Generally, buyers who purchase FBA products can receive them the next day;

3. Amazon's professional customers help deal with pre-sales consultations and after-sales issues;

4. Amazon has the right to erase negative reviews caused by logistics delivery issues (including delivery time, package extrusion and damage, etc. caused by FBA);

5. For products within standard sizes with a unit price of more than 300USD, all FBA logistics fees are exempted.
