introduce

Amazon has launched a new one-click booking feature on its seller platform, the Global Delivery Service (GSS), which is dedicated to helping everyone solve logistics pain points, reduce logistics costs, and increase sales.

Function

1. The FBA shipments created through one-click booking on the seller platform enjoy free lock-in service. The sellers are provided with free lock-in service, which is committed to reducing the additional costs (transportation costs and management costs) caused by warehouse division and improving warehousing efficiency, so that sellers can focus more on peak season sales and win the battle.

2. Complete the booking with Amazon directly on the seller platform (avoiding the inconvenience of jumping to different logistics platforms to place orders twice) and experience faster and more convenient logistics booking services.

3. Experience cash on delivery on the seller platform, and use the Amazon sales account on the seller platform, that is, the US dollar account to directly deduct the payment to reduce exchange losses.

4. You can directly query and track the status of goods, allowing you to achieve one-stop management of goods and logistics on the seller platform.

Function Introduction

1. Make an appointment for Amazon Global Logistics International Freight

2. Arrange a time to collect the inventory or deliver it to a designated location

3. Pay shipping, customs duties and related fees through your seller account

4. Track your shipment from the point of shipment until it arrives at the Amazon fulfillment center

5. Covering international air and sea transport: Full container load (FCL), Less than container load (LCL) and air transport

6. When creating a shipping plan, please confirm that you want to use the Global Shipping Service freight plan for delivery. After confirming that you want to use this plan for delivery, you can complete the freight reservation on the [Shipping Booking] page.

Next steps

1. After submitting the booking, Amazon staff will contact you to confirm and arrange the shipment. You can check the status of the shipment and track your shipment directly on the seller platform.

2. After receiving your shipment at the destination operations background, we will send you an invoice and charge the global delivery service fee to your seller platform account. You can click to view the fee on the seller platform homepage.

Advantages

The first is of course free storage lock, and all operations are completed directly in the background, which can trace the details of each step, without having to jump to other platforms to track logistics.

However, just like Dragon Boat, if you create a shipping plan but use third-party logistics, the lock will be canceled directly.

Secondly, because GSS deductions occur after the goods enter the warehouse and there is no need to freeze funds in advance, the payment period will be much longer than that of a third-party freight forwarder.

The third advantage of GSS being directly integrated into the backend is that the balance in the backend account can be used for USD settlement, reducing exchange losses. However, the prices of Amazon's own services are not low, and the exchange loss cost is only a small part of it.

How to participate

You can register directly on the official account of Amazon Global Selling.
