Even today, the retail platform collaborates with external companies to deliver orders worldwide. However, with <strong>Amazon Logistics<\/strong> \u2013 among others in Germany \u2013 the online giant has also established its own structures to deliver packages quickly and efficiently to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-472958-identifier\">At first, the plans were not taken seriously. But by now, Amazon Logistics is also influencing the package industry: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinehaendler-news.de\/e-commerce-trends\/logistik\/132888-goetterdaemmerung-logistik-branche\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DHL announced in March 2020 that it intended to close a package center near Augsburg<\/a> because the neighboring Amazon logistics center was no longer generating enough shipments. This was by no means due to a decline in order volume \u2013 rather, Amazon is increasingly handling the shipping volume with its own logistics and thus <strong>is passing fewer shipments to DHL and other parcel services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-112955-identifier\">This development has slowed down a bit recently. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/e-commerce-trends-part-1-these-developments-shape-your-e-com-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ironically, the coronavirus<\/a>, which has catastrophic effects in so many industries, saved the DHL package center: Due to a <strong>rise in order volume<\/strong> at Amazon, more orders also arrived at DHL&#8217;s neighbors again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-200466-identifier\">However, this is likely just a <strong>snapshot<\/strong>. In the long term, Amazon Logistics will even expand its own capacity. This has implications for both the shipping industry and marketplace sellers \u2013 both positive and negative. Therefore, you should engage with this topic now to assess how the establishment of Amazon&#8217;s own shipping logistics may also affect you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-82529-identifier\">What exactly is Amazon Logistics?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-816138-identifier\">With the internal delivery service, Amazon aims to become more independent from established providers like DHL or DPD. To achieve this, the e-commerce giant <strong>works with local subcontractors<\/strong> who pick up packages at the Amazon distribution centers for a specific area and handle the actual delivery to the customer. These are usually smaller companies with 20 to 40 delivery vans or 30 to 70 drivers. Currently, the service is available in <strong>Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and the USA<\/strong>, mostly in large cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-901173-identifier\">The drivers pick up the packages at a shipping center and bring them directly to the customer. Typically, they travel distances of up to 120 kilometers. The advantage lies primarily in the <strong>elimination of external structures<\/strong> such as the delivery to a DHL package center, the subsequent sorting, and the transport to the destination. Amazon Logistics manages to shorten the shipping for many shipments to the so-called last mile through collaboration with local companies \u2013 thereby saving not only money but especially delivery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-869706-identifier\">Because many users want to take advantage of same-day delivery or receive their order <strong>at the latest the following day<\/strong>. For Prime products, Amazon even promises this. This aspect is particularly important to customers, increasing their satisfaction and the likelihood that they will order from Amazon again next time. The logistics service <strong>effectively improves the customer journey and customer loyalty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-123455-identifier\">How can companies participate in Amazon Logistics?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-896137-identifier\">Interested entrepreneurs can submit a <strong>first expression of interest<\/strong> through <a href=\"https:\/\/logistics.amazon.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">the transport service&#8217;s website<\/a>, which will then be reviewed by Amazon. This is even possible if the company necessary for the collaboration still needs to be founded. According to its own statement, Amazon is looking for customer-oriented leaders who &#8220;enjoy leading teams in a dynamic, constantly evolving environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-792534-identifier\">After a <strong>formal application<\/strong>, in which liquid assets of 25,000 euros must be demonstrated, and an approval from Amazon, the future delivery partners undergo several weeks of training. Additionally, the online giant provides many tools, such as for navigation. Once the company is established and enough drivers are on board, the first packages are picked up at the local logistics centers and delivered to customers. Typically, Amazon pays <strong>per successful delivery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-quote gb-responsive-979198-identifier desktop-icon-size-2 xl-icon-size-2 lg-icon-size-2 md-icon-size-2 sm-icon-size-2 desktop-bg-style-square xl-bg-style-square lg-bg-style-square md-bg-style-square sm-bg-style-square desktop-gb-has-icon xl-gb-has-icon lg-gb-has-icon md-gb-has-icon sm-gb-has-icon is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block gb-responsive-311539-identifier\">However, the subcontractor is responsible for the <strong>employment of drivers<\/strong> and the <strong>procurement of delivery vans<\/strong>. Amazon Logistics only provides <strong>supporting offers<\/strong> in Germany to ensure low startup costs. This includes a leasing program for the vehicle fleet, a fuel program, uniforms, and support in legal matters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-159886-identifier\">What service does the Amazon shipping service offer customers?<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image gb-responsive-76943-identifier\">\n<figure class=\"theme-wp-block alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/23142927\/amazon-logistics-sendungsverfolgung-ios.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Logistics offers customers shipment tracking on iOS, Android, or other computers.\" class=\"wp-image-1404\" style=\"width:250px;height:185px\" title=\"Amazon Logistics offers customers shipment tracking on iOS, Android, or other computers.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/23142927\/amazon-logistics-sendungsverfolgung-ios-407x301.jpg 407w, https:\/\/d2bw95mh2ee04s.cloudfront.net\/prod\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/23142927\/amazon-logistics-sendungsverfolgung-ios.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-329142-identifier\">The internal shipping service is not a freight forwarder in the traditional sense, as the Delivery Service Partners (Amazon logistics partners) work exclusively for the e-commerce giant and are <strong>bound to the structures of the online platform<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-567923-identifier\">In general, the transport service even offers a <strong>better service<\/strong> than other carriers. For example, Amazon Logistics provides detailed shipment tracking in addition to the mandatory shipping confirmation for each order. This allows customers not only to check <strong>the time window<\/strong> in which their order is to be delivered but often also to track the route of the delivery vehicle and see how many stops the driver will make beforehand. In this sense, customers have live tracking of their order with Amazon Logistics and can see exactly when and where the package is shipped, delivered, and ultimately arrives. This gives the shipping company a significant advantage over traditional package tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-232159-identifier\">The biggest advantage for customers is clearly the <strong>fast and uncomplicated delivery<\/strong>. They often receive their goods the very next day and know exactly in which time window they should be at home. Otherwise, they can also specify a drop-off location or have the goods delivered directly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to a pickup station<\/a>. Like other parcel services, Amazon Logistics also delivers to its customers on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-373142-identifier\">What does Amazon Logistics mean for marketplace sellers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-449311-identifier\">Merchants on the online trading platform have various shipping options. Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) means that they handle the storage, packing, and shipping of the goods themselves. In contrast, they can also delegate these and other tasks to Amazon by participating in the <strong>Fulfillment by Amazon program<\/strong> (FBA). As a third option, sellers can qualify for Prime through sellers and thus receive the sales-boosting Prime logo without using FBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-585891-identifier\">For FBA sellers, Amazon Logistics is usually a reason for joy. Because they indirectly benefit from the increased customer satisfaction and loyalty, as this increases the likelihood that a product will be purchased from them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-534671-identifier\">However, for sellers using FBM or Prime through sellers, the enthusiasm is likely to be limited. Because for them, the already high <strong>pressure to provide fast and smooth shipping<\/strong> continues to increase. Currently, this additional pressure from Amazon Logistics may not be noticeable, but that could change in the future. Therefore, marketplace sellers should start preparing now and refine their internal processes to optimize them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"theme-wp-block wp-block-heading gb-responsive-187530-identifier\">Conclusion: Hopp and top!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-529066-identifier\">On one hand, many sellers are already feeling that customers are demanding faster shipping. Additionally, Amazon Logistics is shaking up the shipping industry due to delivery times and uncomplicated service, posing the question to established companies of how they can maintain all current locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-631853-identifier\">On the other hand, FBA sellers and customers are pleased that packages are delivered quickly and that the customer journey is increasingly resembling that of brick-and-mortar retail. Customers not only receive a shipping confirmation but also detailed shipment tracking. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/blog\/amazon-a-content-templates-and-best-practices-what-modules-are-available\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">increases the conversion rate<\/a>, lowers the return rate, and raises the likelihood that customers will purchase again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"theme-wp-block is-style-default gb-responsive-587228-identifier has-small-font-size\">Image credits in the order of the images: \u00a9 phaisarnwong2517 \u2013 stock.adobe.com \/ \u00a9 Carlos Cuadros \u2013 pexels.com<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerlogic.com\/en\/amazon-dynamic-repricing-tool\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few years ago, customers of the e-commerce giant Amazon received their orders in the usual way: via DHL, Hermes, or another established shipping service provider.
