Hi everyone,
the two problems I find in using AGL are the following:
1) The entire container must be shipped to Amazon, which has much higher storage costs than a traditional 3PL.
2)Amazon accepts that many pieces of an ASIN, especially if the product is new? If I buy, for example, 2000 or 3000 pieces from China, Amazon must agree to stock them all.

Hi everyone,
my concern is that if I order a whole container from China, I have to ship it completely to Amazon warehouses with the following problems:
1) Very very high storage costs
2) Does Amazon accept all quantities if the product is new or is there a limit per ASIN?

In reply to Philip. As a seller, you can specify the destination warehouse for your shipments when using Amazon Global Logistics. However, keep in mind that your shipment's final destination may depend on various factors, including the availability of the warehouse, shipping routes, and cost.

Hi Justeen,
Great article! My thought on AGL is that it would be this most cost effective method for oversized products if I can floor load the containers. Right now I floor load containers and then have my 3PL palletize them before sending them to an Amazon oversized warehouse. You mentioned floor loaded containers in this article. Therefore, I was wondering if you know (or have heard of others) sending floor loaded containers directly to Amazon’s oversized warehouses without palletizing them first? Thanks for the article and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Shane

“First, you have the ability to ship your goods not just directly into an Amazon FBA center, but to an optimal destination warehouse (Amazon lets you know to which warehouse you’ll want to ship when creating a shipment)”

Is this true or am I missing something? I believe Amazon picks the FC and you get no say in choosing which destination FC to go to no?

Hi There,

In addition, we understand that Amazon will only deduct the shipping costs once the goods are fully received into their warehouses. – great cash flow bonus!
