The term Amazon Consolidation is not unfamiliar to Amazon sellers, so what is Amazon Consolidation? Consolidation means that FBA products are concentrated in the same Amazon FBA warehouse.
Amazon sellers who ship goods through FBA should know that, in general, the Amazon platform will ship the products sent by sellers in separate warehouses, often divided into about 3 warehouses. This may cause sellers to have difficult management. At this time, some sellers will consider combining these products into warehouses. So how to combine warehouses and how to calculate the fees?
Closing operation:
Log in to the Amazon seller backend, find the settings in the upper right corner - click fulfillment by amazon under settings, find the inbound setting and click Edit in the upper right corner, select inventory placement service and click update to complete the warehouse consolidation application. Of course, not all warehouses in all sites support warehouse consolidation. Japan, Germany and Europe do not support warehouse consolidation.
So why does Amazon want to divide its warehouses?
In fact, when sellers create Amazon FBA delivery orders, they will find that there are two options in the inventory configuration inventory placement option: distributed inventory place and combined warehouse (inventory place services), and the default option is distributed inventory place. This is because Amazon will divide the sellers' products into warehouses based on warehouse conditions, the types of sellers' products, and the consumption characteristics of regional buyers.
How is Amazon's warehouse consolidation fee calculated?
Of course, if sellers want to consolidate warehouses, they need to pay a consolidation fee. Taking Amazon US as an example, the consolidation fee is related to the weight and size of the seller's products:
For standard size below 1 pound, a combined warehouse fee of US$0.3 will be charged, and for those exceeding the standard, a combined warehouse fee of US$1.3 will be charged.
It can be said that if sellers want to merge their warehouses, they will increase the products they need to operate, and the cost is still not low. Therefore, sellers can calculate this cost first when they want to merge their warehouses.
