01 Large goods are easily damaged during transportation. Due to the characteristics of large goods such as large volume、 high quality and high value、 it is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation. However、 some overseas warehouses will ignore this. For example、 some overseas warehouses will not provide waterproof packaging for the goods、 adopt professional packaging techniques、 and create protective clothing、 which will cause damage to large goods during transportation due to improper packaging protection.
02 Large capital investment and cost estimation. The purchase cost of medium and large parts is much higher than that of small parts、 which has certain requirements for the seller's capital、 selection、 logistics and other capabilities.
03 In terms of logistics、 overseas warehouses are required、 and the logistics cost accounts for more than 30% of the turnover. Due to product weight、 volume and other reasons、 most large products are shipped to overseas warehouses by sea. After platform orders are generated、 they are directly delivered to consumers from overseas warehouses. The logistics cost of large products usually accounts for about 30% of the turnover、 which is reflected in the following aspects: the length of goods exceeds the standard、 extra long surcharges、 overweight products include overweight charges、 product packaging is too large、 and the size does not meet the standard、 which may lead to uncontrolled logistics costs.
Which products are suitable for FBA? Is it big or small? Is it expensive or cheap? The products with the following characteristics are suitable for FBA.
1. Products with excellent quality and performance. Such products will not be returned or replaced generally、 which can greatly reduce the loss of sellers.
2. Small size、 high profit products. The product is small in size、 easy to transport and can save costs. However、 it should be noted that the product price should not be set too low. Because the delivery by FBA will incur relevant handling fees and various transaction costs. If the product price is too low、 the profit will also decrease. It is suggested that the price of FBA products should be more than 5~6 dollars.
In general、 FBA is suitable for small and medium-sized sellers of products with excellent quality、 small size and high profits. The advantages of other products are not obvious.
