FBA Disadvantages and Corresponding Solutions


The previous post shared the pros and cons of FBA and FBM. This post will teach you how to solve the pain points of FBA from an operational perspective!


Disadvantage 1. The cost of the first leg is volatile, and the FBA delivery fee only increases.


Solution:

a. The first-leg cost mainly includes air freight and sea freight. Air freight is easily affected by the sales season or other factors, and the price fluctuates greatly and is out of control. It often rises again and again. If sellers want to reduce the first-leg cost , they can mainly use sea freight. Sea freight can also be shipped in small quantities and multiple times. Just make a good plan. Don't waste your calendar!


b. FBA delivery costs only increase, and this is something that cannot be changed for large items. However, this is not necessarily the case for small items. Sellers can save delivery costs and increase sales prices by combining multiple products or using multiple PCs for a single product . Why not?



Disadvantage 2. High cost, no pricing advantage, and easy to be swept by the barley

Solution:

a. New sellers need to enter the category to check whether the product has been monopolized by Damai . If it is, it is recommended that you either turn around and leave immediately or force capital into the market.

b. Analyze pain points through buyer reviews , solve pain points, optimize functions and innovate

c. Find all categories related to the product and try to enter the category with less popular categories .

d. Enter with products that customers are accustomed to buying together

e. Internet celebrities, off-site sellers, and live video streaming forcibly enter



Disadvantage 3. Storage fees are especially expensive for long-term inventory. The longer it stays, the more it costs! It will be doubled during peak season!

Solution:

Speaking of storage costs, it is also a pain in the heart of most sellers. The editor here can only advise all novice sellers not to prepare large quantities of goods to Amazon without data support. It is scientific and safe to ship small quantities and multiple times!



Disadvantage 4. The pain of out-of-stock is not the most painful, it only hurts more. Only the sellers who almost became rich overnight will understand!

Solution:

a. Speaking of out of stock, many sellers have experienced it personally. If it is because the factory's supply capacity is insufficient, optimize the supply chain, calculate the production cycle , and prepare the goods in advance.

b. If it is due to insufficient stock, it is recommended that sellers use tools to investigate sales before delivery, estimate product sales in combination with the product promotion stage, and arrange inventory and delivery reasonably. (Pay attention, emphasis! Prepare stock according to estimated sales!)
