Sea freight and STAR storage fees dropped again in August!Amazon Global Logistics (FBA) team helps during peak season
August 18, 2022
Over the past few months, congestion at European and American ports has continued to increase, and global shipping and international logistics have been severely impacted by round after round. However, cross-border sellers are also about to enter the peak promotion season in Europe and the US in the second half of the year. At such an important juncture, for cross-border sellers who want to make a big difference during the peak season in Europe and the US, it is particularly important to choose a stable and secure logistics service provider and allow the goods to go overseas smoothly!
As Amazon's official cross-border logistics service, Amazon Global Logistics (Amazon Global Logistics) has always been in the US, Europe, and Sellers who open stores in Japan and use Amazon Logistics (FBA) provide stable, efficient, and convenient official sea and air cross-border logistics services to help sellers safely and stably ship products from the country of origin to the country of destination Amazon's fulfillment center.
In order to meet the cross-border shipping needs of Amazon sellers at different sites, the Amazon Global Logistics team has launched a variety of cross-border logistics products, covering the different shipping needs of sellers, from ocean shipping full container, express ship full box, fast boat consolidation to air commercial flights, air charter flights, and official Z-Parcel packages to meet the needs of sellers for stepped shipping and transportation. In addition, Amazon's global logistics team also provides STAR services (transportation to Amazon FBA satellite warehouses) and STS services (transportation to the seller's designated overseas warehouse) to provide sellers with flexible supply chain management solutions.
The peak season in the second half of the year is quietly approaching. In order to guarantee sellers' shipping experience during the fluctuating period of the global logistics supply chain, the Amazon Global Logistics team not only provided stable cross-border logistics services for sellers, but also prepared discounts to help sellers sell well during the peak season. Let's take a look at some surprises!
Benefit 1
👉 General shipping: Direct reduction in sea freight rates on multiple routes!
Low-cost and time-efficient general shipping vessels have always been a popular choice for sellers to transport lower value or non-seasonal products. Recently, Amazon's global logistics team not only provided amazing cross-border shipping rate discounts for ordinary shipping services on different routes between China, the US, China and Europe, but also added the option of the OLM1 Amazon Operations Center located in the West of the US to meet sellers' delivery needs for non-standard goods, which greatly satisfies sellers to pass high prices before the peak season cut-off date Cost-effective shipping methods for shipping large quantities of low-value or non-seasonal products are in demand.
Benefit 2
👉 STAR Service (Amazon FBA Satellite Warehouse): Direct reduction in storage fees, multiple port of departure options!
Starting August 1, 2022, Amazon FBA Satellite Warehouse (STAR) storage fees and inventory handling fees have been adjusted for price reduction. At the same time, Amazon's global logistics team added Fuzhou Port as the port of departure for STAR services. Sellers can order full shipping services through Amazon's global logistics team in advance and prepare inventory in advance to Amazon's US FBA satellite warehouse for storage. Using the STAR service will be an excellent tool for sellers to resist uncertainty at the port of departure and destination, easily grasp inventory status, and win the peak season.
Benefit 3
👉 STS service (seller's designated overseas warehouse): preferential shipping rates between China and Europe, multiple port of departure options!
In August, the STS service's discount on European shipping rates is a good opportunity for sellers in Europe. STS can replenish inventory in a timely manner through the STS service and enjoy efficient inventory management while reducing logistics costs. Amazon sellers can ship Amazon FBA inventory and MFN inventory from China to the seller's own or designated third party warehouses in the US, UK, and Germany by shipping a full box by sea using the transportation service (STS) provided by Amazon's global logistics team to the seller's designated overseas warehouse service (STS).
Amazon's global logistics team has always been consistent in its original intention to serve Chinese sellers when they go overseas, and protect Chinese brands when going overseas. Respond to the uncertainty of the epidemic with an agile supply chain and help the rapid development of China's cross-border export e-commerce. I also wish Amazon sellers a lot of orders in the second half of the year's intense holiday hotspots and lots of profit!
