Amazon's three logistics models

1. Amazon FBA

The full name of FBA is Fullfillment By Amazon, which is translated into Amazon Logistics in Chinese. It is a one-stop logistics service provided by Amazon, including warehousing, picking, packaging, distribution, collection, customer service and return processing. Sellers prepare goods in Amazon warehouses in advance, and after customers place orders, Amazon warehouses directly ship to customers. JD Logistics in China imitates Amazon's logistics system. Whether it is self-operated or not, as long as the goods are sold through the JD platform, they can be shipped to customers through JD Logistics.

2. Third-party overseas warehouses

Overseas warehouses were once considered the best delivery method for cross-border e-commerce logistics in recent years. Their core competitiveness lies in delivery speed and localized services. They are generally aimed at large enterprises and high-end product stores. Merchants choose a suitable address at the sales location to build their own overseas warehouses. When consumers place an order, they ship directly from overseas warehouses. The speed is fast and the timeliness is stable. However, this model requires a lot of capital and labor costs. It is more friendly to large merchants. In order to avoid risks, many cross-border e-commerce sellers will choose a combination of self-delivery and overseas warehouses in the early days. Only after it is relatively stable will they ship products with good sales in batches to foreign countries.

3. Self-delivery

Self-delivery means that after receiving customer orders, the seller directly ships from domestic suppliers or warehouses to foreign customers, that is, the seller is responsible for a series of activities such as warehousing, sorting, packaging, delivery and customer service.
