What is Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon)?
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA for short), also known as “Fulfillment by Amazon”, is a logistics service provided by Amazon that helps you reach more potential customers and gain access to new markets. If you opt for FBA, Amazon not only takes care of storing your goods and delivering them to customers, but also handles customer service and returns processing. As well as ensuring maximum efficiency, Amazon FBA offers you additional benefits such as fast Prime delivery and easier selling across Europe.
What are the advantages of using an FBA service provider?
An FBA service provider is often used as an intermediary between Amazon sellers and the Fulfilment by Amazon service. Broadly speaking, this pre-FBA service involves the goods being received, processed as required, and forwarded to the nearest Amazon fulfilment centre. An FBA service provider handles the entire logistics process at a lower cost and with optimised delivery speeds. In addition, sellers can make use of further services, such as quality control and the labelling of items. Continuous stock management is also provided, meaning there is constant monitoring of product stock levels at cost-effective storage rates. Finally, the goods are packed in accordance with Amazon’s guidelines. This allows sellers to save time and focus on growing their business on Amazon.
Warum sollte man auf Amazon Deutschland tätig sein?
But why is it important to sell on Amazon Germany? There is one main reason for this: with 9 per cent of total sales, Amazon Germany is the second-largest market on Amazon, just behind the US, and is therefore a marketplace that attracts a large number of customers. Amazon is regarded in Germany as the leading platform for product searches and generated just under 70 per cent of total e-commerce turnover in 2018. This makes Amazon the ideal platform both for launching your own products and for expanding your customer base. Thanks to its low sales fees, the platform can also serve as a springboard for setting up your own online shop.
What are the common problems Amazon sellers face when sending goods to Amazon?
When shipping or selling goods to Amazon, difficulties often arise that could ultimately be easily prevented. A well-known problem is Amazon’s sometimes haphazard warehousing practices. Sellers report goods going missing or even becoming damaged, despite having been in perfect condition at the time of dispatch. Incorrect item registration, caused by warehouse staff being pressed for time, also leads to inadequate quality controls and the loss of entire pallets. The Christmas rush, in particular, causes even more chaos in Amazon’s item registration and warehousing system. Added to this is the fact that sellers struggle to cope with the complex packaging requirements. It is therefore common for goods to be returned and for misunderstandings to arise during goods receipt. For these reasons, it is always advisable to use a pre-FBA service to ensure that warehouse and dispatch logistics run smoothly.
