Fulfillment by Amazon
Amazon.com is offering a new program called Fulfillment by Amazon that’s idea for small business owners. Basically, you send Amazon your inventory and they’ll ship orders for you.
For owners who are bogged down in this area—from the time involved in shipping products, to the space problem of housing inventory, it’s a good solution. Amazon has nearly perfected the art of fulfillment in the U.S.
Sellers are paying to ship their goods twice—but for those with the aforementioned needs, it’ll be worth it. Plus, this article in the New York Times says it can increase revenues, “Using Fulfillment by Amazon to sell on Amazon’s third-party marketplace qualifies products for the shipping discounts the company offers buyers, which typically improves sales.”
