How to deliver products globally?
A strong and efficient logistics network is vital for hassle-free e-commerce exports. Order shipment and delivery is crucial for your success as an exporter as it directly impacts customer experience. When exporting from India, it is important for you to plan your inventory and choose a fulfillment method that aligns with your business needs. This will ensure products reach customers on time without an impact on quality.
Select the right fulfillment option
As an Amazon global seller, you have two options to ship and fulfill customer orders:
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Merchant Fulfilled Network (MFN)
Store your products to Amazon’s fulfillment centers (FCs) and let Amazon handle packing, shipping, and order delivery.
Ship products directly to global customers — using either your own logistics service or Amazon Buy Shipping.
