Strict performance targets like a late shipping rate below 4% makes using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inevitable

FBA allows you to offload your warehouse operations to Amazon in exchange for certain fees. Almost 70% of Amazon’s top sellers are using FBA, which makes it an important competitive must-have. The fees not only shrink your margins, but are difficult to calculate when offering different products with different size measures. Algopix’s Amazon US marketplace research provides you detailed information about any costs related to a product, be it marketplace fees, shipping fees, or FBA fees.

Around 33% of all Amazon top sellers are based in China. For Amazon US, this share is expected to be even higher

Chinese manufacturers used to be merchants’ best friends for providing products in demand for a reasonable price. However, in the past years, more and more manufacturers started selling directly to consumers in the US. Because they cut out the middleman, i.e. the retailer, they can offer the products for much lower prices than other competitors. This leads to lower profit margins for sellers, making the sustainment of a profitable business more difficult than it is now. Algopix Amazon US seller tool calculates the expected profit for you based on the purchasing price you provided and the full expenses related to selling your product. This helps you find products with a big enough profit margin. Furthermore, Algopix’s Amazon US product research offers insights into a product’s sales volume and gross merchandise volume for the past month,giving you an estimate of how often the product will sell. This information helps you make an educated product sourcing decision where you only take in the most promising products.

Using Algopix Amazon US seller tool

Amazon’s introduction of FBA in September 2006 allowed sellers from all over the world to expand to new markets without needing their own warehouse. In the following years, more and more sellers discovered the US marketplace as a profitable option to sell their products. Assessing the potential of different markets is even more important in a globalized world, like the one we’re living in. Algopix greatly facilitates assessing new markets by offering insights into seven different marketplaces across the world. You can determine the product demand level, expenses for selling in this country, estimated profit, a product’s sales volume and gross merchandise volume (GMV) for the past month, and competition level before committing to a new market.
