Today we will talk about some tips on how to cleverly use IB shipping in the Amazon operation process. As we all know, the increase of account weight is very helpful to increase the transaction volume. Log in to the Amazon account through the residential IP set by the socks5 node. A stable residential IP can effectively increase the weight of the account, which is bound to increase a certain amount of transaction volume. As for the issue of delivery, we know that in the process of IB delivery, Amazon often encounters the situation of splitting warehouses, especially for new sellers. This can often disrupt your shipping schedule. For example, you originally planned to ship 30 kg today, and the freight company also told you that the price of 30 kg is $30 per kg, you will calculate the shipping cost of 30 kg to be $900, right? But when you generate the shipping plan, you find that it becomes 3 pieces, which are 12kg, 7kg and 11kg. At this time, if you ask the freight company the cost of transporting the three shipments, you will find that the freight structure has changed a lot because it is shipped to different addresses, and the freight may increase by 1/3. The freight company tells you that the three-ticket shipment does not reach a certain weight range because it is a small shipment, so the shipping fee per kilogram becomes $40. That means you paid an extra $300, right? So, in this case, how should we solve it? There are several options.
The first method is in line with the rules of the Amazon platform, that is, to adjust the settings of split and close positions. For example, if there is an extra $300, if I close the position, the closing fee is only $100. Of course, I can choose to combine warehouses and send 30 kilograms of goods in one warehouse. I only need to pay about 100 dollars more to solve the problem. This is a method that complies with Amazon's platform rules. But sometimes, some sellers are not even willing to pay an extra $100, or the product is very small and the quantity is very large, each weighing only 0.3 kg, but the shipping fee is $0.3, so the calculated total cost is very high. In this case, what should we do? In this case, there is also a non-normal way to solve the problem. For example, if I previously planned to ship 100 items, I can abandon the previous shipping plan and generate a new one.
What does it mean to generate a shipping plan? Say, I have 300 products and I generate a shipping plan for 300 products. In this case, the distribution of 300 products will still be divided according to an approximately balanced ratio. It may be divided into one 105, one 120, and one vote for the rest. In this case, we can compare and find a delivery plan that is close to the quantity we want to deliver. We can choose to send only 1/3, that is, only one of the three delivery plans, so that the quantity shipped may be close to the quantity we want to ship. We can temporarily not send the other two plans, we can choose to delete them, or we can choose not to deliver them temporarily. For example, we can ship later. Maybe the first batch is already sold out, and then the second batch will be sent, that's fine too.
Strictly speaking, this approach will disrupt Amazon's shipping schedule. Because the purpose of Amazon's warehouse division is to hope that our products can arrive at different locations. For example, there may be one vote for the US East, one vote for the US China, and one vote for the West US. But if you only sent one ticket for West America, but not the other two tickets. When a customer places an order, Amazon has no way to refuse to ship to the customer. In this case, Amazon can only choose to send one piece of goods from the west of the United States to the east of the United States, which not only affects the timeliness of receiving the goods for customers, but also increases Amazon's logistics costs. So Amazon does not recommend this. But you can use it once or twice once in a while, but not every time. If you use it three times in a row, you may receive a warning from the Amazon system, prohibiting you from reissuing IB's warehouse within a week, and there may even be more severe measures. So, I hope everyone can refer to this situation.
In this case, if you want your goods to be sent to a specific location, you can try to find a qualified freight forwarder or intermediary who can help you arrange the delivery of the goods to the specified location, of course, the premise is that your product Comply with the storage requirements of the warehouse. This is one way to solve the cargo storage problem. If you want your goods to be sent to a specific location, you can try to find a qualified freight forwarder or intermediary to help you arrange the transportation of your goods.
The second situation is that we can try to adjust the delivery address by ourselves. Normally, our shipping address is set in China. However, we can adjust the shipping address to be in the United States. For example, if you want to ship the goods to the warehouse in Los Angeles, then you can try setting the shipping address in Los Angeles. It is possible that the system will send the goods to the closer destination warehouse due to the short distance between the place of shipment and the destination warehouse. This will achieve our goal. Of course, some sellers will worry that doing so is against Amazon’s rules. However, in fact, Amazon does not care about this, because in the process of Amazon's operation, they have established many warehouses in the United States, so this delivery method is very natural. In addition, when Amazon handles the FB warehousing process, it does not review the seller's conditions, but only scans the seller based on the outward label of the product. So, Amazon doesn't care if the item is shipped from China or the US, as long as the item is in the correct quantity. This is also a point that we can take advantage of in the shipping process.
When shipping with IB, we sometimes run into situations where our warehouses run out of capacity. For example, for a new account, the expansion limit is 5000 standard products and 500 oversized products. Suppose you are a seller and you sell oversized products, then maybe 500 is not enough. In this case, it is suggested that the seller can contact Amazon's customer service, explain the situation to the customer service and ask for help.
As a seller who only sells large factory items, I don't need small items, but the 500 expansion is not enough for my large items. Hope you can provide me with more expansion. Usually, Amazon's customer service will give appropriate expansion after review. This solves the problem of insufficient expansion. But if Amazon customer service tells you that they can't provide you with more capacity, are we just indifferent? Actually not. If you need more capacity, for example, you want to send a container, but there are 1200 items in the container, and your warehouse capacity is only 500, then we need to try to find an intermediary to help us solve the problem.
Yes, there is indeed an intermediary on the market that can provide such a service for us, but it charges a certain fee to increase our capacity, which also achieves our goal. Well, these are some tips in the process of our Amazon IB delivery process. I hope that for new sellers and small sellers, I can provide you with some help, so that we can avoid detours and go longer on the road of operation. quick.
