When the EC site uses FedEx Fulfillment, we send out the products to the warehouse of FedEx in the United States and Canada and outsource inventory management and shipping business. When the EC site that received the order from consumer sends the order information to FedEx Fulfillment, it is the service that the staff of FedEx Fulfillment performs picking and packing of products, shipping and delivery in the warehouse where the products are in stock . With this service, the EC site has the merit that you can consign resources on inventory management and shipping to FedEx with know-how as a whole. When shipping, not only packaging materials with the FedEx logo but also products can be shipped with boxes and envelopes designed by the EC site independently.


Services of this kind are not necessarily new, but we also offer a service that keeps items in Amazon's warehouse even on retail giants · Amazon. And since these items will be able to be purchased on Amazon, there is the merit that the opportunities for sales will increase for the EC site.

When Amazon understands that sales of goods sold by third parties are good, Amazon will handle the products at their own company, and the EC site will be deprived of Amazon's sales by carefully building up the trouble It exists.

"

FedEx plans to expand the service of FedEx Fulfillment by modifying approximately 130 warehouses in the United States and Canada. The targeted EC site has secured a certain number of customers above a certain level, and it seems that the majority of companies that do not need to find customers on Amazon and other platforms will be main.
