- Drop-Shipping is the term used when you sell to one party, in this case Amazon, but you ship directly to another address, in this case the Amazon business or the consumer’s doorstep.
- For Amazon specifically, the term is described as “the manufacturer or distributor ships directly to your customers in your branded packaging.
- The seller never touches the stock, but you may pay a premium for this feature.”
- This is most notably used if you are selling to a 3P seller using Seller Central but they or you opt to not keep stock in their warehouse and rather ship directly to the consumer when an order is placed.
- It is cleaner for all parties as the Seller or Retailer doesn’t need to pay for a storage unit to house all your inventory in the event of a sale; and you can ensure that your product leaves your own facilities in your standard of packaging and preparation, giving the consumer the best experience you, as the manufacturer, would want them to have.
