Kudos to Fulfillment by Amazon
I’ve been using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) for a couple of months (including the busy Christmas season) now and I’ve been pretty impressed with the results. The system is easy to use and is quick to set up. Basically, you create a listing, assign fulfillment to Amazon instead of yourself, create a shipment, and then sent it to Amazon. From then on all you are doing is managing the listing and sending more inventory if needed.
Of course there are fees involved, but it works for me and makes my life a lot easier. You also miss a branding opportunity, because as far as I know you can’t send them your custom boxes or packaging. I’m willing to trade that the branding opportunity for the convenience for the time being though.
If you have an e-commerce company I would definitely suggest taking a look at this service.
