In 2021, Amazon Logistics generated many unclear factors, facing the suspension of FBA warehousing, overseas warehouse shortages, and a significant increase in Amazon's first leg logistics shipping costs. As a merchant, how can we solve this problem?
Targeted FBA logistics layout for the logistics situation in the sales destination country
From a regional perspective, the Fujian region is dominated by multiple variants, such as clothing, bags, and leather goods; The East China region is dominated by large and medium-sized items, with larger SKUs appearing. From the perspective of sea transportation, ports and docks are congested, and the efficiency of goods extraction slows down. As a result, the uncontrollable logistics factors will also slow down the logistics distribution in the later stages, making FBA logistics in 2020 a challenge.
Based on this logistics situation, taking the US market as an example, the logistics layout in 2020 can also choose the US East and bypass the US West.
As the COVID-19 in West America is relatively serious, in December 2020, the efficiency of goods picking up at the ports and docks in Los Angeles is relatively slow, whether by express or ordinary ships. From my own operational management experience, if I change the address for arranging shipment to a warehouse in the United States East or China, most of the 10 votes out of which 5-6 will be cast in the United States East. Compared with West America, East America is well controlled due to the COVID-19. In New York, goods were picked up faster in the peak season on October 11. Therefore, when carrying out replenishment in 2021, it is proposed to lock more goods to the East and Central United States.
Select appropriate Amazon logistics channels based on sales turnover
The project of medium and large articles will be sent in decentralized ways. In terms of Procedural, appropriate logistics channels can be selected according to the dynamic sales rate. In addition, the COVID-19 in 2020 will make goods easy to lose. It is proposed to change the delivery point of the final journey to Kappa.
Flexible use of overseas warehousing
Logistics, inventory, and whether they can be transferred overseas have had a corresponding impact on today's cross-border enterprises. For this situation, overseas warehousing can also be flexibly used to improve Amazon's logistics efficiency.
