Inventory capacity suddenly reduced, slow stocking? Difficult to pick up large and medium-sized products? PostPony can help you easily solve all your worries!

Amazon's restrictions on storage capacity have been in place for a long time. Since Amazon's warehousing policy changed several times last year, sellers' storage capacity has been reduced again and again. Recently , Amazon has adjusted its storage capacity again, and some sellers' storage capacity has dropped by as much as 40%. This is undoubtedly a double whammy for sellers, because it directly affects the sellers' product warehousing and listing, which in turn leads to a large decline in sellers' shipments.

It is difficult to put goods on the shelves, and some sellers have been forced to stop selling

"Out of stock, out of stock, out of stock. They just won't put it on the shelves, and there is no time to put it on the shelves. It's really driving me crazy." This is the denunciation of a seller on a social platform. If it continues like this, what can I sell? Is it just selling for nothing? If I had known earlier, I would have used FBM to ship on behalf of others or stored the goods in overseas warehouses and used FBA for transit , maybe it would have been a relief.

In fact, there are many sellers who have the same experience. Some sellers said that Amazon’s product listing is really too slow. On August 19, 400 products arrived at the warehouse, but they could not be put on the shelves, so they had to stop selling the products. Until the 30th, there were only 28 products available for sale. I don’t know how long I have to wait.

The warehouse that received the most complaints was FTW1. The speed of putting the products on the shelves was really worrying . Words like "the products have not been put on the shelves for a week after the express delivery", "three months are required to register and put them on the shelves", "at least one month is required", etc. were all over the sellers' WeChat Moments, which was enough to show the dilemma faced by the sellers.

At this moment, the psychological feelings of the sellers may only be understood by themselves. Not only are the storage capacity limited and the difficulty in warehousing and putting on the shelves difficult, but also the overseas epidemics that occasionally give you a wave of guerrilla warfare, and the cross-border logistics freight rate has increased by nearly 50%, which are all reasons that make sellers at a loss. Recently, some sellers have reduced their shipments by 90% because of the collective overcapacity of their storage capacity.

After the storage capacity collectively hit the red light, some sellers reduced their shipments by 90%

It has to be said that Amazon's platform policies, which are updated from time to time, catch people off guard. The recent sudden drop in inventory capacity has caused a large number of sellers to collectively hit red lights. One seller said that his account could still create 1,000 orders the day before yesterday, but after checking it the next day, the inventory easily exceeded 10,000, which is undoubtedly a red light.

Industry insiders said that storage capacity restrictions have always existed, and this situation will be more stringent during the peak season. To this end, sellers have come up with many measures to deal with Amazon's storage capacity restrictions, such as increasing the number of accounts, clearing excess inventory, using overseas warehouses for transit, and increasing the proportion of first-leg air transportation. Some sellers even suggested that if it really doesn't work, they should change their business. It is really a helpless move.

But for sellers, the best option at present is to use overseas warehouses and then use FBA for transit. This is because not only the repeated outbreaks of the epidemic abroad and Amazon's repeated restrictions on storage capacity, but also the support of Chinese policies.

China's State Council made new arrangements for foreign trade earlier, one of which is to actively promote the development of overseas warehouses, support cross-border e-commerce platforms, cross-border logistics, and overseas warehouses through funds and other means, and encourage financial institutions to support the construction of overseas warehouses to promote small, medium and micro enterprises to go overseas and drive domestic brands and mass innovation products to expand international market space.

Despite the recurrence of the epidemic abroad, online shopping is still very popular , which shows how popular online shopping is among the American people. According to foreign media data, after adapting to the speed and convenience of online shopping, most Americans said that they would not reduce online shopping after the epidemic is over.

However, sellers are under great pressure to ensure that overseas consumers receive their favorite products quickly, as they need to deal with multiple issues such as repeated outbreaks, a sharp drop in Amazon's inventory, warehouse overflows, difficulty in listing products, and soaring freight rates. Under such circumstances, many sellers have decided to change their stocking methods to give themselves more opportunities, and stocking overseas warehouses is an important choice for most sellers.

Large products are so popular that stocking overseas warehouses becomes the focus?

The pandemic has led to a surge in home furnishings, as consumers are accustomed to online shopping and want to decorate their homes. Walmart , Wayfair , Home Depot and other home furnishing platforms have benefited from this. Not only has the platform traffic increased, but the sales data of the products is also very impressive. For Home Depot alone , its revenue in the second quarter of 2021 alone was as high as US$41 billion . However, the only drawback is that these large items often require overseas warehouses to cooperate with shipments for self-pickup.

In addition, Amazon has repeatedly restricted its storage capacity, resulting in many sellers having goods but unable to sell them, which is very painful. For this reason, many sellers have decided to change their shipping methods and choose to prepare overseas warehouses in advance to solve these problems. Because relatively speaking, there are many advantages to preparing overseas warehouses, such as increasing the delivery speed of goods, saving logistics costs, avoiding warehouse explosions during the peak logistics season, and improving store sales and buyers' shopping experience . Any one of these is enough to make people excited. After all, Amazon's policies can change at any time, and if you want to change the passive situation, you must take the initiative.

Yibai Network, a cross-border seller, once said that because it was preparing for overseas warehouses, it did not fall into the vortex of soaring freight costs, which not only saved a lot of freight costs, but also reduced many problems such as the difficulty of listing products. However, regarding the issue of whether to deploy overseas warehouses, many sellers are still in a wait-and-see state, saying that they do not dare to try overseas warehouses easily because they do not have a trusted overseas warehouse platform.

Recently, the editor discovered a one-stop discount overseas warehouse aggregation platform, that is PostPony , a company with the corporate vision of helping Chinese products go overseas and the mission of making cross-border transactions more convenient. With 7 years of experience in local services in the United States , it currently has an overseas warehouse network in Los Angeles in the west, Atlanta in the south, New York and New Jersey in the east; it mainly provides medium and large-sized shipments and transit, as well as integrated services such as return and label replacement, with a total warehouse area of ​​more than 60,000 square meters!

Compared with general overseas warehouse companies, PostPony has another advantage, which is its US terminal channel account service . Over the years, it has provided different similar products (USPS, FEDEX, UPS, DHL) to many overseas warehouses, freight forwarders, eBay sellers, and independent station sellers in the industry to meet the needs of different business scenarios. This is also the foundation of PostPony’s own overseas warehouses!
