Delivery to Amazon logistics centers (FBA)
Anyone using Amazon Marketplace as a sales platform must first transport their goods to the Amazon warehouse. Various packaging guidelines must be taken into account here.
Amazon delivery can therefore be associated with a high logistical effort. Are you looking for a reliable freight forwarder to deliver your goods to an Amazon logistics center or warehouse?
At Cargoboard, you benefit from our easy-to-use platform, our nationwide transport network and our first-class service.
What does Amazon FBA actually mean?
FBA stands for “Fulfillment by Amazon”. This refers to Amazon’s logistics and fulfillment service. Other terms for Amazon FBA in Germany are “Fulfillment by Amazon” or “Sales and shipping by Amazon”.
However, Amazon FBA is only guaranteed if the merchant ensures smooth delivery. With this service, the shipping giant takes care of the storage and delivery of the goods presented on the marketplace.
Other services include:
- Monitoring of the stock in the warehouse
- Labeling of the goods
- Packaging and shipping preparation
- Shipment Tracking
- Order tracking
- Returns processing
- Improved customer reach
- Increase visibility
- Customer Support
Broadly speaking, this means: You as the seller:in take care of the Amazon delivery (for example, through a freight forwarder like Cargoboard) and the shipping giant does the rest for you.
How to send the goods to Amazon?
As a merchant:in, the route of the goods to the Amazon logistics center is left up to you, as Amazon does not provide this service. To deliver to warehouses and use Amazon FBA, you need a reliable shipping company. We will gladly take over the transport order for your Amazon delivery.
Amazon's requirements for FBA logistics
The mail order company sets strict guidelines regarding FBA delivery, which retailers must strictly adhere to, otherwise they will be subject to sanctions. In the worst case your goods will not be accepted.
You can prevent this by adhering to the specifications for cardboard packaging, weight and packaging. Cargoboard is aware of these policies, which is why we guarantee a smooth Amazon delivery.
These are some of the requirements you need to look out for with Amazon FBA delivery:
