Why is Amazon so cheap? What are the reasons?

Many people on Amazon have found that things on the Amazon platform are actually cheaper than on other platforms, but when buying cheap goods, people are afraid that the authenticity of the goods may not be guaranteed. Why are things on Amazon so cheap?

Why is it so cheap on Amazon?

1. Amazon, as the most powerful cross-border platform, has been engaged in cross-border trade since its establishment. It has acquired Joyo.com in China, which is now called Amazon China. Amazon's official self-operated products are all purchased from suppliers or manufacturers and shipped to Amazon's own warehouses. When someone places an order, it will automatically select the regional storage center for shipment based on the customer's order address, and the customer's delivery time is also determined based on the customer's address. Self-operated products are Amazon's own resources during the transaction and transportation process, and the control of costs is not available to third-party sellers, so the first point of price is understandable.

2. Another important reason why Amazon's self-operated products are cheaper is that its products are purchased through suppliers, and these suppliers are all large domestic suppliers. It is precisely because the suppliers are all large suppliers, with large demand and large supply, that Amazon's self-operated products are cheaper and more acceptable.

As for whether Amazon's self-operated products are genuine, there is actually no need to worry about this, because Amazon's self-operated products are directly purchased from manufacturers. If counterfeits appear, Amazon will punish the manufacturers strictly. In addition, Amazon has a strict review mechanism to avoid counterfeits to the greatest extent. If you are unlucky and receive counterfeits, you should contact Amazon customer service immediately, and the customer service will generally exchange or return the goods.

The above is an introduction to why Amazon’s self-operated products are cheaper. Amazon’s self-operated products are marketed under its own brand and want to provide benefits to users. At the same time, the products are strictly screened, which largely guarantees the quality of the products.
