What are Amazon's delivery logistics channels? [Amazon dry goods]

There are two major categories of Amazon logistics. One is Amazon FBA logistics, and the other is Amazon self-delivery logistics. In addition, there is also the overseas warehouse model, but it accounts for a relatively small proportion, so we will ignore it for now. Both types of logistics models contain a wealth of logistics channels. The following will introduce the logistics channels suitable for different situations.

Amazon's three main delivery logistics channels:

1. Postal parcels

Postal parcels currently occupy a huge market, and will be the main logistics method for small and medium-sized sellers for a long time. However, it is not suitable for most Amazon China sellers because small parcels have to go through multiple links of scanning and transfer, and the probability of package loss and damage is relatively high, which may lead to negative reviews from Amazon buyers.

2. Express delivery channels

They mainly refer to the four giants DHL, TNT, FedEx and UPS, as well as SF Express, STO Express, etc. Among them, the speed and service of the four giants are impeccable, but the prices are also relatively expensive, which is difficult for ordinary merchants to afford.

3. Dedicated logistics

The model of cross-border dedicated logistics is usually to concentrate large quantities of goods to the destination and reduce costs through economies of scale. It is an independent channel for express delivery companies in a certain country or region. The price is lower than commercial express, but the delivery time is also slower.

The differences between Amazon’s delivery logistics channels:

Direct delivery by express: Direct delivery by express has a faster logistics timeliness and is suitable for sellers who have higher requirements on logistics timeliness. Due to the high charges, it is not suitable for large-volume shipments and is generally used for emergency shipments.

Air-to-ship: The logistics timeliness and price are relatively moderate, which is suitable for Amazon sellers who have certain requirements on logistics timeliness. The rates are reasonable and can be used for small batch shipments as well as large batch shipments.

Haipai: The logistics is slow and cheap, which is suitable for large-scale stocking before the peak season of e-commerce. The freight time usually takes about 1-2 months. For Japan and Southeast Asian countries, it only takes about 15 days.

Railway faction: The railway transport FBA first-leg model is also suitable for large-scale stocking. It has a lifting weight of 25kg and smaller mailing restrictions. At the same time, relying on its strong continuity, the logistics timeliness is more stable. FBA first-leg is the preferred model for Europe during the peak season.
