International Fulfilment Services for direct-to-consumer brands

Nowadays, eCommerce businesses are not limited to operating only in one country; they can take orders from customers located all over the world. As your business grows, you might want to expand your services to international markets.

An international fulfilment service can help you do that. Managing worldwide shipping on your own can be complicated. This is why you should consider using the services of a company specialising in international fulfilment solutions. 

Fulfilment companies help sellers expand their fulfilment operations into new countries, ensuring that orders are delivered without any problems and delays. At Bezos, we have fulfilment centres in 17 countries! Talk to an expert at Bezos today and get started with your international expansion.  

What is international fulfilment?

As cross-border trade continues to grow, more and more businesses are looking to tap into new markets. 

Do you want to start offering worldwide shipping but are unsure where to start? Here we will answer the question, “what is international fulfilment?”.

International fulfilment encompasses activities such as processing international orders, packing products and, finally, shipping them to customers abroad. It is an essential service for businesses that want to sell their products globally. 

What do international fulfilment providers do?

If you want to increase your international sales, you should outsource international fulfilment to a specialist fulfilment service provider. 

International fulfilment providers typically have multiple international fulfilment centres located in different countries. When an international buyer places an order, the third-party fulfilment company ships the items from the nearest warehouse. By keeping their inventory closer to their target customers, businesses can lower shipping times and costs. 

Additionally, international fulfilment providers can handle customs clearance and shipping documentation on your behalf, allowing you to focus on other aspects of running your company. And, if customers want to return a product, international fulfilment providers take care of processing their return.

Advantages of Bezos’ international fulfilment service

By partnering with a third-party fulfilment company, businesses relieve the stress associated with handling the complex logistics of international shipping. Are you wondering why you should choose Bezos for your international fulfilment service? Have a look at the main benefits of working with us:

The ability to monitor all international orders

You will have access to an easy-to-use platform where you can monitor real-time order status, regardless of the destination country. You will have the ability to view all your international orders using a single dashboard. 

The chance to quickly scale operations

Although it is possible for you to enter international markets on your own, doing that with the assistance of an experienced third-party fulfilment company is guaranteed to be quicker. By taking advantage of our international network of 63 international fulfilment centres, you will not have to hire an additional workforce or build infrastructure. 

Fast international deliveries

If you ship products from the country where your business is based, your products might take a long time to arrive. In turn, you risk facing customer frustration. By working with us, your inventory will be stored in our international fulfilment centres so that international orders can be shipped from the one closest to the international buyer.

Many businesses assume that working with a third-party fulfilment company is expensive. This is not the case with us. At Bezos, we work with small and medium-sized businesses, and we offer global fulfilment solutions that fit their budgets.

If you choose to use us as your fulfilment service provider, you will have to pay a monthly subscription fee starting at £149 and a fulfilment fee starting at £3.18 for standard delivery. This is it; no other fees are required!
