How to ship Amazon orders from Germany? | Best Prices

Those who want to engage in trade prefer online commerce with the innovations brought by advancing digitalization. Since sellers do not face issues such as renting or purchasing a physical store in online commerce, e-commerce has become an attractive option. Services such as warehousing offered by e-commerce platforms eliminate the need for physical stores. The products sold are delivered to buyers through various options, primarily QuickShipper cargo services. Amazon is the most preferred channel for doing e-commerce among online platforms. Amazon owes its position as the most widely used online sales platform worldwide to the services it offers. In this sense, Amazon Germany is a highly preferred and high-potential e-commerce market.

One of the most important processes in online commerce is the operation of delivering the product to the buyer by cargo. Amazon carries out sales stages through systematic steps. These systematic steps also apply to your Amazon Germany shipments. Among the shipping options offered by Amazon to deliver products to buyers are FBA and FBM. Both delivery models offer various advantages to sellers. Accordingly, sellers evaluate the advantages among Amazon delivery options and choose the one that suits them best. The services offered to you for shipping Amazon Germany orders can be listed as follows;

FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon):
Not all online platforms provide warehousing services. Amazon offers its own warehousing service to sellers under the name FBA. As a seller, you can list your products by sending them to Amazon’s warehouses in various parts of the world. If the seller chooses FBA management to deliver products to buyers, you can send your shipments to Amazon warehouses in the relevant country and leave the distribution process to Amazon after the sale is completed. Following the completion of sales, all shipping operations after storage are handled by Amazon. In this option, the seller’s only responsibility is to deliver the products to the warehouses via cargo services such as QuickShipper. All remaining processes such as packaging, labeling, and returns are handled by Amazon. Of course, Amazon charges a storage and distribution fee for this service.

FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant):
In this model, the seller is fully responsible for delivering the products to the buyer. By using international cargo services such as QuickShipper, sellers can smoothly deliver shipments directly from Türkiye to buyers in the relevant country. If desired, sellers can also organize an operation suitable for the FBA model. By making agreements with companies that provide intermediary warehouse services, sellers can send their products in bulk to warehouses in the relevant country. When a sale occurs, the warehouse company ships the products to the buyer. In this model, the intermediary warehouse effectively applies Amazon’s FBA system and, naturally, will charge a fee for this service.

Individuals or businesses acting as sellers should determine which model is more suitable before starting online commerce. Conducting a feasibility study is of great importance in order to make this determination. The decision made based on the feasibility study will yield positive results in creating a healthier expense table.

The type of model is important for ensuring that products reach buyers without problems. However, regardless of which model is chosen, certain points must be considered when shipping cargo. Ignoring these points will inevitably lead to various issues. Here are the points you should pay attention to during cargo shipment:

• The type of the product being sold must be correctly identified. You should have at least basic knowledge of the Customs Tariff Position (GTIP).

• Documents requested by customs and required information must be prepared completely.

• Amazon’s requirements from sellers must be well understood.

• Product labels must be prepared in accordance with standards.

• Box labels must be printed properly and legibly.

• Printed labels must be placed on the relevant boxes.

• The proforma invoice must be filled out in detail and completely.

Everyone engaged in trade essentially seeks ways to achieve higher profits. To increase profits, every alternative service must be examined. Receiving professional services at affordable prices will naturally increase your profit margin. In this context, shipping expenses are among the most important cost items affecting profit margins in e-commerce. When you ship cargo economically, your profit will increase accordingly. For economical shipping, products should be packaged to take up less space. There should be no bulging or deformation in boxes or cartons, as measurements are carried out with sensor-based, laser devices. If bulging causes dimensions to exceed declared measurements, shipping fees will increase. In order to increase the profits of our Amazon Germany sellers, with our special service developed as QuickShipper—Germany Elite Service—you can send your shipments by air at express speed and at the most competitive prices in the sector.

Having knowledge of customs regulations is another important point to consider when calculating expenses. Each country has a certain limit for duty-free trade. The limit for importing without paying customs duty is 22 Euros in European Union countries, 800 Dollars in the United States, and 700 Dollars in Australia. In some cases, customs authorities may not find the declared value of the product accurate and may reassess it. If the value stated on the invoice is not deemed accurate by customs officers, customs duties may be applied even under duty-free trade. Therefore, it is essential to be realistic when declaring values. QuickShipper assists Amazon sellers in such cases and ensures that their shipments reach their destination smoothly.
