What is Amazon FBA?

Amazon FBA is a service that allows sellers to store, pack, fulfill, and handle returns, providing top-tier logistics while enabling sellers to focus more on other aspects of their business, reducing the daily operational pressure.

In simple terms, after your products are stored in Amazon’s warehouse, when a customer purchases your product, Amazon will pick the product from their inventory. Amazon will fulfill the product to the customer after the packaging is completed, with two-day delivery and return services provided.

How to choose the right product supplier?

Choosing the right product supplier is crucial in the Amazon FBA model.

Amazon FBA offers a wide range of suppliers, including international suppliers, local suppliers, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, retail stores, and so on. If you're aiming for higher profits in Amazon FBA, the best option is choosing products from Chinese suppliers, as products from China are typically cost-effective and high-quality. Platforms like Alibaba, 1688, Made-in-China.com, and YiwuGo are popular choices.

However, sourcing from China can present challenges such as language barriers, payment issues, and time zone differences. To overcome these obstacles and streamline the procurement process, you can consider working with a sourcing agent like EJET Procurement.

In the fifth section of this blog, I will provide more details on how EJET Procurement can assist you.

How to fulfill products in Amazon's warehouse?

Once you have decided to choose Chinese product suppliers, the next challenge is how to fulfill the products from China to Amazon's fulfillment centers. Most sellers opt for ocean freight, among other options like air and land freight. Typically, you'll need to consolidate your products from various locations in China and then fulfill them through Chinese customs.

During the process of consolidating products, you may encounter problems like language barriers, time zone differences, and a lack of understanding of policies. To simplify the fulfillment process, EJET Procurement, as a professional sourcing agent, also provides logistics and transportation services to help streamline the process.
