How does Amazon do drop shipping? What is the model?

As the Amazon platform continues to grow, more and more merchants are opening stores here. If merchants want to open a store, they can choose the drop shipping method. So how does Amazon do drop shipping? The following content will provide you with relevant answers.

How to do drop shipping on Amazon?

1. Cooperate with a freight forwarding company that can drop ship Amazon orders

First, you need to cooperate with a freight forwarding company that has this service and reach a cooperation agreement with it.

2. Store the goods in the freight forwarding company's warehouse

After reaching a cooperation with the freight forwarding company, the seller needs to deliver the goods to the freight forwarding company's warehouse, which can be used as a temporary storage and shipping warehouse to prepare in advance for the next operation.

It should be noted that the amount of goods stored does not need to be too much or too little. It is best to store about one month's worth of goods based on the recent average order volume. There is no need to worry about too much goods, and if the amount is too little, you can replenish it in time.

3. Connect with the freight forwarding company’s ERP

Next, you need to connect to the freight forwarding company’s ERP data to facilitate instant acquisition of logistics information for subsequent shipments and handle various logistics issues.

4. Instant delivery of orders

After everything is done, wait for the order to be generated. When an order is generated, the seller can use the order management ERP software to select the logistics channel online to obtain the order number. The shipment information will enter the company's logistics management system for a series of operations such as packaging, sorting, and transportation of the goods.

What is the pattern like?

1. Find a distribution platform

First of all, sellers should look for Amazon's distribution platform for the products and platforms they sell. Sellers need to make the process as simple and convenient as possible. Products including large home categories can be distributed on the platform and choose popular products according to their needs.

2. Choose high-quality products

Overseas warehouses have high-quality stock, combined with popular sales categories selected through environmental analysis, to meet the sellers' requirements for product selection. Sellers can directly publish product data packages provided by the platform to their own stores for product sales.

3. After the order is generated, it can be shipped

Choosing an overseas warehouse can deliver products directly to buyers. Many sellers need to find a warehousing party as a temporary storage point and delivery warehouse, which actually increases the operational troubles of the seller's product operation, but affects the seller's product operation energy and reduces the subsequent operation process.

The reason why the drop shipping model is popular is that it reduces the seller's operating costs and allows sellers to spend more time and energy on product polishing. I hope the above content can solve the problems of Amazon merchants.
