How to deliver products globally?

Logistics is one of the central tiles in the mosaic of e-commerce exports. Considering the cost of shipping, hassle-free exports and customer satisfaction stand on the shoulders of a robust and effective logistics network. Delivering orders globally plays a crucial role in the success of exporters as it directly impacts customer experience. When exporting from India, it is important for exporters like you to plan your inventory and international shipping to ensure products reach customers on time without an impact on quality.

Selecting the right shipping option

As an Amazon global seller, you have two options to ship your products: You can do it yourself, maintaining your own inventory and shipping products to customers directly (merchant-fulfillment or MFN), or let Amazon handle packaging, and shipping products through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Each method has its own set of benefits and you can choose the one that is right for your business.

Shipping your own orders

How does it work?

When you choose Amazon MFN or Fulfillment by Merchant, you store and ship products directly to customers yourself. Amazon charges shipping rates based on the product category and shipping service selected by the customer, then passes the amount on to you in the form of a shipping credit. Set shipping rates apply to all products sold with an Individual plan, so it is important to determine if you can still price products profitably. Don't worry about making the wrong choice — you can change plans at any time. Also keep in mind that, in both cases, additional selling fees apply.
