Amazon FBA handles storage, packing, and shipping—allowing sellers to focus on product development and sales. However, optimizing your first-mile logistics can significantly impact your bottom line. Here's how to reduce costs while maintaining efficiency.
| Shipping Method | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express (DHL/UPS/FedEx) | Fastest (3-5 days) | Most expensive | Emergency replenishment |
| Air + Local Delivery | Faster (7-10 days) | Moderate cost | Medium-urgency shipments |
| Ocean + Local Delivery | Most economical | Slowest (30+ days) | Bulk/seasonal shipments |
Pro Tip: For ocean shipments, partner with certified customs brokers like SSA Global to handle complex clearance procedures.
