Cross-border e-commerce has been very popular in recent years, especially Amazon. The low threshold has attracted countless Chinese sellers to join the market. Most of these new sellers sell small, low-value goods. For these new sellers, the cost of logistics and the first shipment of 200 pieces (excluding the initial store and later promotion) for selling products worth around $20 on Amazon is not high, so FBA with low value has become the first choice for new sellers.
Although they have early advantages, facing the surging "new wave", the space for promotion and profit of old sellers has been gradually compressed, and many old drivers have turned to drop shipping of large items.
Large-item drop shipping means that the seller delivers the goods to the overseas warehouse in advance, and the service provider is responsible for the subsequent warehousing, shelving and delivery, which is equivalent to Amazon's FBA warehouse. As we all know, one of the main reasons why most sellers choose FBA is that Amazon will provide traffic support to FBA sellers. Without traffic support, how can drop shipping of large items be favored by more and more experienced sellers?
High threshold - Compared with small items, the capital cost of large items is several times higher. For example, large appliances, cabinets, and bed frames can easily cost hundreds of US dollars. Hundreds of them are shipped in one first leg of sea shipment. The cost of inventory is not something that small sellers can afford. This keeps most sellers out, and competition is naturally much smaller.
Amazon FBA warehouses do not accept - FBA is hassle-free and worry-free, has fast delivery speeds, and has traffic support. If possible, large sellers will definitely not refuse FBA. The problem is that some items are not allowed to enter Amazon warehouses. For example, large items with a size exceeding 144*96*96 inches or a weight exceeding 150 pounds are not allowed to enter Amazon FBA warehouses.
The method of overseas warehouse plus last-mile delivery has matured. The emergence of "warehouse + delivery" service providers such as Kaicangle, which focuses on the dropshipping of large items from the United States, has solved the biggest problem for sellers of large items. The super-large storage space, overseas warehouses covering the entire United States, super-high order execution rate and guaranteed delivery rate... You only need to send the goods from the country to Kaicangle's overseas warehouse, and all subsequent operations will be solved by Kaicangle, which completely eliminates the worries of sellers of large items.
High profit - this is the most basic and important point. Compared with the meager profit of small items, the profit of a large item order may be several times or even dozens of times. This is also the most fundamental reason why more and more sellers switch to "large item drop shipping".
However, although large commodities have a certain market space and the competition is not as fierce as that of small commodities, it is not something that ordinary sellers can afford, especially as it requires a lot of capital. You should not rush in without your own advantages and in-depth understanding of the market.
