1. What is the Dragon Boat Project?
In fact, "Dragon Boat Plan" is the name of the Amazon Logistics Plus plan in China. The ultimate goal of Amazon Logistics Plus is to achieve warehousing at the place of production, shipment from the place of sales, and rapid global logistics deployment. This plan will fundamentally change the cumbersome and expensive logistics process of Chinese sellers who rely on express delivery or third-party sea transportation to first ship goods to the United States, pass customs, and then enter FBA. The goods will be warehoused in China, and Amazon will be responsible for quickly and efficiently shipping the goods to the FBA warehouse in the sales country.
The Dragon Boat Project greatly reduces the number of intermediaries and replaces them with Amazon's own services, which makes people feel very safe. At the same time, I believe everyone knows that Amazon's services are also very competitive in terms of timeliness and cost.
2. The main transportation methods of the Dragon Boat Project
Dragon Boat Plan only provides sea and air transportation, and does not provide express delivery services. Therefore, the delivery time of the Dragon Boat Plan is relatively slow, and the price is much cheaper than express delivery.
3. What impact does the Dragon Boat Project have on sellers and suppliers?
1. In terms of logistics methods and costs, it helps everyone save time and financial costs, while also eliminating some unreliable links. Make your cargo transportation cheaper, faster and more stable. Door-to-door pickup is very convenient, and compensation for lost or damaged items during transportation gives you peace of mind. In a word, the Dragon Boat Project makes international logistics very efficient and simple.
2. The Dragon Boat Plan not only facilitates logistics and transportation for sellers at all levels, but also lowers the threshold for manufacturers to enter Amazon for sales. Two important reasons why traditional manufacturers resist e-commerce are the cumbersomeness of retail sales and the hassles of logistics. Now that logistics has been resolved, the other problem is actually not a big problem. As long as the manufacturer wants, it is not difficult to transform into retail. The integration of production and retail is just around the corner.
Cost: Not much different from other logistics providers
Time limit: 30+ days to reach FBA warehouse
Service: basically communicate with the other party via email
In general, Amazon's service is more reliable, but the fees are not particularly favorable.
