Amazon supply chain and logistics

Choosing the right option

Do you understand which Amazon logistics options are best for your ecommerce business? Using Amazon FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) can be an easy way to sell a higher volume of products and increase sales by getting your products fulfilled quickly and at scale. Amazon is a global logistics business and Sell Beyond can help you make the most of it.

Fulfilment By Amazon consultants

Many customers love shopping on Amazon because of Amazon Prime. Data from Sell Beyond indicates that one of the top reasons people abandon the basket or jump off a product page to purchase a competitor’s item is due to perceived slow delivery times.  

If it’s right for your business goals, we can help you make the most of Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA).

What’s Amazon FBA?

It is a system where your business can send stock in bulk to Amazon. Then Amazon takes care of packing and distributing each individual sale.

Is FBA or your own logistics provider – also known as Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) – going to be the best option for your Seller Central business in the UK, EU or USA? We’re the Amazon FBA Consultants to help you.

Vendor Central

Amazon Vendor Central is an option for companies who want a wholesale relationship with Amazon. Businesses can sell at volume by selling directly to Amazon and their Amazon channel is typically run in-house by a National Account Manager.

Brands invited to the Vendor Central platform choose to sell 1P/Vendor Central for the promise of routine orders directly from Amazon and the perceived credibility of “Sold by Amazon” on their listings.

Vendor Central does present challenges for some businesses: Amazon controls the retail price and your company is still required to take control of marketing your products against competitors on Amazon, usually with very little guidance on how to best use Amazon to promote your brand. This can lead to missed opportunities—and missed revenue.

Does your Vendor Central face frequent chargebacks and packaging queries?

Selling into Europe

Amazon is a global marketplace, so why would you want to restrict yourself to selling only in the UK? Amazon provides the tools and logistics systems to help make this happen. We appreciate it may be a big step, and can advise on the best way to progress, ensuring that you stick to the relevant tax and health and safety rules of the countries where you plan to sell.
