1. Advantages of FBA shipping:
(1) The transportation fee is cheap, and the cost is only a few yuan when converted into a single product.
(2) Very suitable for dumping goods and heavy goods.
2. Disadvantages of FBA shipping:
(1) Long transportation time.
(2) Ocean shipping has a starting capacity of 2 cubic meters, and sea shipping also requires 100 kilograms.
(3) If the preliminary work is not done well, problems with label scanning will affect the entry of the goods into the warehouse, or even prevent them from entering the warehouse.
(4) Sellers must comply with Amazon FBA product type shipping packaging standards. This packaging standard may not be suitable for your own products, so the damage rate during express delivery is higher, and the return and exchange rate is higher.

Advantage:
1. Low transportation costs: Compared with FBA air freight and express small packages, FBA sea freight is cheaper and especially suitable for the transportation of bulk goods.
2. Large capacity: Ocean shipping can carry a large amount of goods and meet the seller's needs for large-volume shipments.
3. Low restrictions: shipment starts at 10KG, can accept over-long and over-large products, and can be delivered to commercial and private addresses across the United States.

Shortcoming:
1. Long transportation time: Ocean shipping usually takes weeks or even months, and may not be suitable for products that are in urgent need of replenishment or have a short sales cycle.
2. There are certain starting volume requirements: Ocean shipping usually needs to meet certain starting volume requirements, which may not be friendly to sellers who ship in small quantities (Amazon currently configures a new warehousing rule of 10kg per warehouse, which is also applicable to small sellers. Starting from 10kg, but goods less than 10kg still need to be calculated as 10kg).
3. There are high requirements for preliminary work: such as label scanning, packaging standards, etc. Sellers need to be fully prepared before shipping.
