https://sell.amazon.com.sg/fba

Thanks

I bought a photography light box off ezbuy to take my product photos :D

which is easier to get started FBM or FBA?

for labels, you can ask the supplier to do it for oyu

For FBM, how do we find out the pricing for 3PL? Do we just approach the 3PL directly?

for SG

yes approach 3PL directly

same question I have with philemon but the region is from malaysia

any good 3PL recommendations for Singapore and for US?

Is Singapore AMAZON market worth investing as SG has many platform such as Q10 /LAZADA/SHOPEE.

For FBA to sell in USA, can we ship it to Amazon SG to sell in Amazon USA?

how do you sell in US market? ship from Spore?

How do you ship to Amazon if you do FBA

how do you sell in US market? ship from Spore? >> we ship from China (our manufacturing plants are there) to US

@andrew ship via fedex/dhl courier companies or via sea or air freight

What is the minimum stock quantity to be stored when using FBA for beginner?

1. Product size, weight

Is there a minimum space which we need to take up in Amazon when we use FBA?

Factors to consider: 1. Product size, weight 2. Location of your customers. 3. Having a trusted warehouse.

Hi panelists, which categories of products have good demand?

When the customer return the item, do seller bear the cost ?

@debbie the shipping is arrange by amazon or we have to set up our own with DHL/Fedex?

For Amz US, is FBA and FBM fees charged differently for the same product?

@andrew you create the shipping plan in amazon seller central and then arrange your own fedex/dhl if you’re shipping into US from overseas

would there be any list of reliable FBM logistic canbe given would be good

cost comparison with DHL, Fedex etc

Can FBA handle fragile items such as glass bottles?

is it possible to sell both in Amazon Sg and Amazon US at the same time? Then I use FBM for Amazon.Sg and FBA for Amazon US? Or is it better to FBA both?

@Debbie using Fedex and DHL for shipping is quite expensive?

@ Debbie, can you share which 3PL in US are you using?

what is the best way to ship from china manufacturer to amz u.s.; should the china manufacturer ship directly FOB or what is the shipping term to use

any tips on how to do the listing properly?

@andrew yes expensive but fast. you have options. it depends on your margins, the volume of your inventory, how fast you need to get the goods to FBA

@jasmine i’m afraid i am not fully happy with them, so i wouldn’t recommend

is there list available from amazon on reliable FB suppliers?

@Debbie, thank you

@ann referral fees are the same regardless if you fulfill through FBA or FBM

any 3PL warehouse in US to recommend?

Factors for choosing warehouse: 1. Cost - pick & pack cost, Warehousing fee. 2. Tech/ integration capability 3. Track inventory 4. Service providers they use (UPS, Fedex, USPS) 5. Do the pick-up happen everyday

For Amazon SG, can buyer has the option to collect their purchased items from the seller's retail store to save shipping fee

Is it true that your listings can sell better/faster if you use FBA then FBM?

@Felicia I don't think Amazon SG have this

@andrew if you sell through FBA, you get the Prime badge, which means customers can receive the orders within 2 days. and yes, amazon listings algorithm will prioritize your FBA listings

ok thanks

prime badge does boost my sales

how does one get the prime badge @debbie?

@pat chua it depends on your weight/volume of shipment. you should compare prices between courier/freight companies based on your ready shipments

@debbie are you able to give a feel how much better to sell using FBA compare to FBM? 5 times more?

Felix just mentioned "do not send all in for beginner" . What kind of quantity would you recommend for sending the first batch to USA? Do you suggest splitting the shipment even if my first factory order is not large

@shiva you get prime badge if you fulfill through FBA

@andrew too many factors to compare, hard to say! =)

Continuing factors for choosing warehouse: 6. Return order processing 7. How do they palletise 8. FIFO system

for US, are FBA and FBM fees the same?

For US, are FBM and FBM and MCF fees the same?

@ann referral fees apply to the type of product you sell and they are the same regardless if you fulfill through FBA or FBM

first mile delivery is important ... is there a amazon preferred logistics partner for first mile delivery

Deliverr and Shipbob

Thanks Felix for typing that out!

@ann you can compare FBA and FBM revenue and costs here: https://amzn.to/fbarevcalc

Do we need to appoint IOR inorder to ship goods to US for FBA?

Any good FF to recommend for shipping from China to US?

@azizah nope

How is import duties handled?

can we dropship to amazon U.S.? Is it acceptable ?

is there any way we can follow you guys on facebook, Instagram, twitter, etc?

@azizah your courier (fedex/dhl) or freight company will pay the taxes and duties and charge you afterwards

our new fb page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/amazonsellercommunitysea

Which sourcing agent do u use?

try Jing sourcing and minden

@pat amazon isn’t well suited for drop shipping. you can, but it’s better if you own your own inventory

What FF to use for shipping from US to China ?

Hello, from the Gold Coast in Australia

what categories of products do you recommend for newcomers? kitchen? home? electronics?

I have my Label wines available from Australia

As for someone starting. What would be an ideal qty should you start with? I’m doing clothing.

What about selling battery related products? Will it be a tedious and expensive process to get certification to prove to amazon that it's tested and good to sell on amazon.

Environmentally Friendly Biodegradable New Materials ProfileThe Future without relying on Traditional Plastic has arrived!My biotech company has developed and patented a new generation plastic like material with characteristics of plastic, with the benefit that it is manufactured from bio-products not Petro-chemical products and it is soluble in water (the degree of solubility can be pre-set during the manufacturing process). The material like plastic can be formulated to many applications, such as flexible wrapping, Pallet Wrap, rigid extrusions and flexible extrusions, all programmed during the manufacturing process to degrade either, underground and/or dissolve in water leaving, no toxic residue. All manufactured to the customers required specifications.The New Material can be manufactured to:1. 100% dissolves in water or,2. 100% dissolves in water with after a defined period or,3. Dissolves underground at defined periods or,4. Hold liquids and then dissolves underground after a defined period.

Besides the Bar code, do you need to print “Made in China”?

Sorry my camera is not working and in Australia it is impossible to buy cameras when so many people work from home these days.

For new seller, do we need to use QC to ck. for our new launch product.

Is FBA SG only cater to SINGAPORE MARKET ONLY?

Hi Shu, yes

Is Covid affecting amazon sellers? Has costs gone up and leadtime get longer ?

@john it’s not a requirement but if you aren’t confident of your manufacturer’s quality, then yes, it’s good to hire a QC company. but remember that adds to your costs

Tks.

there are many gurus out there in Singapore, is there one that is highly recommended..

i should get a referral bonus from helium lol

@pat yes definitely. logistics costs have gone up significantly. inventory getting checked into FBA warehouses is taking a much longer time than before
