Fulfilment by Seller
You can potentially minimise failed deliveries, improve communication with customers and increase your delivery accuracy by using the Heavy & Bulky shipping template.
Fulfilment by Amazon
You sell it, we ship it. With Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) Heavy & Bulky, you store your products in Amazon's fulfilment centres, and we pick, ship, and provide customer service for these products.
What are the Amazon shipping templates for heavy and bulky products?
Whether it is a sofa, washing machine or sports equipment, easy and convenient scheduling improves customer experience for heavy and bulky deliveries. By ensuring customers are at home to receive their orders, you can save the time and expense of failed deliveries. The Heavy & Bulky programme offers two shipping options:
Arranged Delivery
With this shipping option, your customers are advised on the product page and checkout that they will be contacted to arrange a delivery and they should update their phone number before completing their order. You or your carrier will contact the customer via call, text, or email to arrange delivery to the ground floor entrance to their building or to the room of the customer's choice.
Arranged Delivery with online scheduling
With this shipping option, customers can choose their preferred delivery date or delivery slot in a calendar at checkout. You can set up the calendar in advance with available delivery dates and time slots. At checkout, customers can also update their phone number, in case you want to contact them on the day of the delivery.
Why use the Heavy & Bulky Shipping Template?
Limit the number of delivery attempts and returns
More transparency in the delivery process makes your customers aware that they must be at home to receive their deliveries. This allows you to reduce the number of attempted deliveries and returns.
Invite customers to update their contact information
Your customers check their contact details at checkout and can update incorrect information. This makes arranging a delivery easier for you or your carrier, and saves you the time spent contacting customers to update their contact information.
Fulfilment price per region
The programme allows you to set a price per region and/or remove them when necessary. This helps you to calculate your shipping costs better.
