Who can benefit from buying from Alibaba to Amazon FBA?
The low prices that the manufacturers in Alibaba offer can benefit all different kinds of third-party sellers, but two sellers stand to gain more from it. These two selling models listed below are more affected by purchasing from Alibaba to Amazon FBA:
Dropshippers
Dropshipping is very popular on the Alibaba platform. An Amazon retailer does not need to have those goods in their inventory to dropship. Instead, they advertise the goods in their online store, and when a customer orders, they send the customer’s order directly from the Alibaba supplier.
The Alibaba supplier receives the order, packs it, then sends the goods directly to the customer, but in the name and label of the Amazon retailer. This way, the customer does not need to know that the products came directly from the supplier, not the seller.
Dropshipping is a very beneficial retail selling method because it involves little capital investment.
Dropshipping is popular among manufacturers and suppliers on Alibaba (or Aliexpress). If this business model appeals to you, you can contact your chosen supplier directly or ask an agent to assist you in finding a supplier who offers drop shipping.
Private Label Sellers
Private labeling is for you if you’ve always wanted to establish your own brand or launch a custom product line. In private labeling, an Amazon seller seeks out a manufacturer who can create unique custom goods, then rebrands these goods with the seller’s name and logo.
Private Label vendors only need to contact the manufacturers directly and explain their specific product needs. After negotiations and an agreement is reached, the factories or manufacturers promise not to make the same products for another business than the first seller who sourced them initially.
The seller can send their logos, packaging, and other crucial brand information to the factory. The products will then be produced according to these specifications and sent to the seller’s Amazon FBA warehouse.
When a customer places an order, the items are taken directly from the FBA warehouse, already stocked with private-label goods.
Many Amazon sellers are keen on selling branded products for their Amazon business. Contact the supplier to request this.
