Are you selling on Amazon? Are high shipping costs troubling you? Worry no more! Now you can integrate your Amazon channel with Shiprocket and deliver your products at the lowest shipping costs.
Amazon is one of the prime channels in the market that you can use to sell your products. It is an excellent choice for selling on a marketplace for a variety of reasons such as its well-established reputation, its large customer base and high ranking pages on search engines.
However, selling on a marketplace has its pros and cons. You will be required to pay a selling fee and deal with other costs involved in the process. And especially when it comes to shipping your products, prices are quite high at a marketplace’s end. Furthermore, if you are selling and shipping your products via a marketplace, you also remain deprived of the quality and branding experience that you can provide through shipping otherwise.
Amazon is an excellent selling channel, but when it comes to hassle-free shipping and other benefits, sellers must look for a low-cost shipping solution that also maximizes their profits. Here is why you must sell on Amazon and ship via Shiprocket-
