BubbleFAST offers a variety of packaging and shipping supplies that are invaluable to sellers who use the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) program. Here we will discuss some of the basics of the FBA program and what supplies can help set up sellers for success.
What is the Fulfillment by Amazon Program?
FBA is a service that Amazon offers that allows third-party sellers to automate their order fulfillment and shipping services. With the program, vendors can sell their products online while outsourcing orders to Amazon by storing their products in Amazon’s network of domestic and international fulfillment centers.
What Are the Advantages of Using FBA?
Fulfillment by Amazon is a great resource for new and established e-commerce businesses because it saves time, reduces the cost of shipping, and allows you to reach more customers. Processing orders, preparing shipments, and managing returns are time-consuming tasks. Outsourcing fulfillment to Amazon allows you to focus on other aspects of your business, like marketing and product development. Shipping with FBA is also a great way to save money. It typically cost 30% less per unit to ship than shipping with standard options at FedEx, UPS, and other US carriers.
Using FBA can also help your business expand its reach and improve sales. For example, Amazon also has a program called Remote Fulfillment by FBA, which allows you to affordably ship products to Canada, Brazil, and Mexico while still using your domestic inventory. There is also a program called Amazon Export that lets you sell to customers across the globe using international fulfillment centers. In addition, when you use FBA, you can offer perks like 2-day shipping and Subscribe and Save. These perks can make you stand out against other sellers and increase repeat customers.
What Supplies Do You Need to Use FBA?
Although using FBA means you are outsourcing shipping to Amazon fulfillment centers, the program still requires a lot of packaging and shipping supplies as you still need to ship the products you’re selling to the fulfillment centers. The fulfillment centers, in turn, store the products and distribute them. The supplies you need for FBA include clear poly bags with suffocation warnings, bubble cushioning, labels, boxes, reverse tuck mailers, and seals. You may also need a scale, Scotty peeler, and bundling stretch film. BubbleFAST offers all of these supplies and more, all in one place
