How do I ship from Alibaba to Amazon FBA?
Ship by Alibaba freight forwarders
Many freight forwarders on the Alibaba platform can help receive your goods and ship them directly to the Amazon FBA warehouse. This can be arranged easily by asking your reputable suppliers to send your goods. While it is a very easy option for Amazon retailers, it comes at extra costs, and the supplier can only ship smaller goods to the FBA because of Amazon’s inventory limits.
Ship by a China freight forwarder
This is probably the best method for shipping goods to the Amazon fulfillment center. When you hire a reputable freight forwarder, they can help you inspect your goods with the supplier to confirm quality, then warehouse your goods, pack them when it’s ready for shipping, and help you handle all aspects of logistics while shipping, including import and export clearance.
Both new and experienced importers prefer this shipping method because it saves so much stress and worries and comes at cheaper warehousing and shipping costs. If you need the services of the best China freight forwarder, contact LINKWAY today. We’ll perfectly handle every aspect of your shipments.
Ship to a 3PL logistics company and then to Amazon FBA warehouse.
3PL stands for Third-Party logistics planner, and they can assist businesses with shipping their goods to the Amazon FBA warehouse, help handle customs clearance, and even offer product inspection on behalf of the importer.
It would be best to consider using a 3PL when you’re a new seller on Amazon, your products need special handling and care, or you have a low inventory limit on Amazon seller central.
Since Amazon has strict warehousing limits that can prevent retailers from shipping in bulk to Amazon FBA, it is always easier and cheaper to use a 3PL company instead of shipping products in bits to the Amazon warehouse.
Before choosing a 3PL, check their credit ratings, customer reviews, and work experience.
