The difference between overseas warehouse and FBA is essentially the same. Both provide integrated warehouse and distribution services for sellers. However, there are obvious differences between the two in terms of service content and form.
1. Differences in service providers: FBA is provided by Amazon officially with warehouse and distribution integration services, and after-sales services are provided by the official; The overseas warehouse is provided by a third-party service provider and is responsible for the storage and distribution of the seller's products.
2. Differences in service forms. After the seller delivers the goods to FBA, it does not need to take care of the related matters of delivery. The whole process from sorting to delivery is completed by FBA. The overseas warehouse is completed by two parts, first sorting and packaging in the warehouse, and then entrusting the local express company to complete the delivery service.
3. Differences in service content. FBA's service content is relatively simple. It simply helps the seller deliver products. The service content of overseas warehouse is more abundant. In addition to the basic warehousing and delivery, it also provides relevant services such as labeling and replacement, one-piece delivery, transit replenishment, product testing, and head-on logistics. For example, worry free overseas warehouse can also realize customized services according to customer requirements.
4. Overall price difference. In terms of all service contents, the price of FBA is more expensive, while the overall cost performance of overseas warehouses is higher.
It is suggested that the seller should combine the two methods when conditions permit. In the early stage, the store can not only obtain the flow support of FBA, but also use the overseas warehouse to inventory the backlog of FBA. In addition, it can also use the overseas warehouse as the after-sales address of products to help the seller reduce the operation and maintenance costs.
