\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Breaching the guidelines and restrictions of Amazon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When we talk about storage safety, Amazon is 100% strict. It\u2019s essential to meet the package\u2019s shipping labels, sizes, and weight limits.<\/p>\n

If an Amazon seller ignores or doesn\u2019t follow such requirements and continues sending products overseas (that are prohibited), they may be charged a fine and face bans from selling on Amazon.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sending damaged products to Amazon FBA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Imagine if your goods reach the Amazon fulfillment centers looking shattered, broken, or otherwise damaged. Expect that it will not be going to sell. Amazon could instantly reject your air shipment.<\/p>\n

The worst-case scenario is when Amazon rejects the goods, and you have to ship goods back at your own cost, not to mention the damaged goods themselves are considered a waste.<\/p>\n

\"How
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can choose from the three methods if you want to ship from China to Amazon FBA.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ship the goods through a prep service company then to the Amazon warehouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A prep service company is considered a third-party company, helping you deal with transport goods, transportation, and customs clearance, perform product inspection, and label the goods as per Amazon-specific requirements.<\/p>\n

One of the benefits of this method is you can return the products to the factory if any quality concerns are discovered.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ship to your home and then to the Amazon warehouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll have no opportunity to check your goods if you send them to Amazon FBA directly. This option lets you fix any concerns before your customers buy them. It will remove the risks of poor customer reviews.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, this solution comes with added transportation costs from your home to the FBA warehouse. It will help if you look for the nearest Amazon warehouse from your home and compute the transportation costs.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Direct shipping from China to Amazon FBA<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the most convenient way to ship goods to an overseas importer. You ask the Chinese supplier to handle the shipment or hire your FBA freight forwarders. It will help if you ship from China to Amazon FBA directly, particularly if you use an express shipping company like FedEx or UPS.<\/p>\n

You can have your goods shipped directly to Amazon FBA. Nonetheless, you should find reliable Chinese suppliers who will prepare the goods following the shipping and packaging guidelines asked by Amazon. Also, you need a third party who can offer all the certifications for your goods to be sold in the consumer\u2019s country.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if your supplier in China ships to a third-party freight forwarder, they can inspect the goods, preparing them for FBA. You can also have the Chinese suppliers ship the goods as a consolidated shipment.<\/p>\n

That shipment can be grouped into separate packages for inspection, preparation, and shipping to the fulfillment center.<\/p>\n

The initial capital outlay for a middleman consolidated shipping is higher, but proper preparation and inspection could offset the higher upfront costs, as you guarantee a good FBA relationship.<\/p>\n
