What is the difference between Amazon’s own sales and third-party sales? What are the direct mail techniques?

Now many friends will open stores on Amazon. When opening a store on Amazon, you can choose the store type. Many consumers generally choose Amazon self-operated when shopping. What is the difference between Amazon self-operated and third-party?

1. What is the difference between Amazon’s own business and third-party business?

1. It is actually very simple to judge whether a product is Amazon-operated. If there is "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" below the price, it is an Amazon-operated product, such as the 1150 razor we recommend.

2. If the product is sold by other merchants and Amazon is responsible for packaging and shipping, there will be "Fulfilled by Amazon.com" below the price.

3. Sold and shipped by other merchants, such as the Hamilton watch recommended yesterday, there is a message "Ships from and sold by Watchsavings" below the price, which means this watch is sold by Watchsavings.

2. Here are some tips on direct mail from Amazon:

1. If you are not good at English, you must remember to use a browser with website translation. I use the Chrome browser, which converts the entire website into Chinese. It is very convenient, just like shopping on Taobao.

2. If you want express delivery, you can choose expedited delivery, which is usually a few dollars more expensive and can be delivered directly from abroad to your home in 7-10 days, which is very convenient.

3. The tariffs collected in advance by Amazon may not be the actual amount collected by the customs in the end, because Amazon may overcharge, so it is very likely that the customs will not collect or collect less. According to the principle of "more refund and less compensation" in Amazon's tariff regulations, if the actual tariffs collected by the customs are higher than the estimate, you do not have to pay more; and if they are less than the estimate, the refunded tariffs will be returned to you within 60 days, and you do not have to worry about it. If this is the case, congratulations, you have made a profit.

4. Credit card is a must. If you don't have a credit card, you can't pay at Amazon. UnionPay single currency credit card can be used for payment!

5. After placing an order, you can track the status of your order in "Your orders" in "Your account". If it has been shipped, you can see the courier number, just like Taobao, and Amazon will also send you another shipping email.

6. Some products shipped by Amazon Direct Mail will not be subject to pre-paid tariffs. If there is no tariff, there will be a risk of being taxed. However, the probability of being taxed for this direct mail is very low, so don't worry too much!

7. On Amazon.com, bags, shoes, cosmetics, skin care products, clothes and many other items can be shipped directly, which is very convenient!

There is a big difference between Amazon's own products and third-party products. Generally, we tend to buy products from Amazon's own products because the quality of the products is guaranteed and the operation and delivery are more standardized. For products that are not Amazon's own products, you need to see whether the product reviews are reliable.
