概括一下,在郵件中,亞馬遜提醒賣家,因為客戶可能利用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式向客戶補發(fā)產(chǎn)品、發(fā)放贈品,或者利用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式來處理和發(fā)送其他平臺的訂單等,而按照亞馬遜平臺的規(guī)則,創(chuàng)建移除訂單只能用于把FBA倉庫的貨物退回給自己、自己的倉庫、自己的供應商或自己的分銷商。
簡單梳理一下。
如果一個賣家想把亞馬遜FBA倉庫中的庫存轉(zhuǎn)運出來,發(fā)往站點本地的某個地址,有兩種操作可選:創(chuàng)建移除訂單和創(chuàng)建多渠道配送訂單。
既然兩種方式都可以實現(xiàn)同樣的目的,為什么很多賣家有時候會悄悄的在給客戶補發(fā)時、在給B2B客戶寄樣時、在為其他平臺的訂單發(fā)貨時會選擇創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式呢?核心就在于兩者的費用差。
以標準件的小產(chǎn)品為例,如果創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式從FBA倉庫中移除出來一個產(chǎn)品,平時的費用只是0.30美金而已,有時候亞馬遜還會為了鼓勵大家移除出來一些滯銷庫存和不可售庫存,甚至會免收移除費;與此同時,如果同樣一個標準件的小產(chǎn)品,采用創(chuàng)建多渠道配送的方式發(fā)貨,普通的發(fā)貨方式,亞馬遜收取的費用則高達5.49美金左右。兩相對比,不難看出其費用差別之大。
正是因為兩種方式的費率有如此大的差距,所以有些賣家就鉆亞馬遜的空子,把一些本應該采用創(chuàng)建多渠道配送的訂單,采用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式發(fā)貨,以此來節(jié)省費用。甚至還有賣家采用把貨物備貨至FBA倉庫,然后在其他平臺銷售,如果賣出了,就采用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式給客戶發(fā)貨,成本又低,時效還不錯。
但亞馬遜畢竟也不是吃素的,亞馬遜的防作弊系統(tǒng)如果發(fā)現(xiàn)某個賣家有大批量的訂單采用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式發(fā)往不同的地址,亞馬遜甚至會直接取消這些訂單的發(fā)貨,還會像上文中的郵件一樣,警告賣家,要求賣家寫出整改計劃,否則甚至會移除賣家的銷售權(quán)限。
從這個層面上來說,投機是不可持久的,而為了確保賬號的安全,賣家也不應該濫用亞馬遜的創(chuàng)建移除訂單的這個操作。
最后,簡單的把創(chuàng)建移除訂單和創(chuàng)建多渠道配送訂單兩種操作做個對比。
創(chuàng)建多渠道配送訂單:
適用于賣家期望貨物能夠快速到達目的地的訂單,包括為消費者補貨、為B2B客戶寄樣,為其他訂單的客戶配送等情況。
創(chuàng)建移除訂單:
適用于賣家想將一些被下架Listing的庫存、不可售庫存等移除出FBA倉時來操作。
回到文章開頭的賣家案例,因為為了省錢而把原本應該采取多渠道配送的訂單采用創(chuàng)建移除訂單的方式發(fā)貨,結(jié)果就收到了亞馬遜的警告郵件,而如果寫的改善方案沒有得到亞馬遜的認可,則可能導致賬號被移除銷售權(quán)限,從潛在的風險來看,這種投機取巧的行為并不是一筆劃算的操作。
在給孵化營上課時,我經(jīng)常會提醒:踏踏實實按平臺規(guī)則做事,才是最佳的運營姿態(tài)。畢竟,所謂的自由,不過是在規(guī)則之內(nèi)做事而已。
