With Amazon's constantly evolving FBA inventory policies, many sellers have encountered issues like warehouse overflows, product transfers, and labeling errors requiring relabeling. According to Marketplace Pulse, Amazon has over 2 million active sellers in the US, approximately 68% of whom rely on the FBA warehousing system. This means that any inventory transfers or label discrepancies can impact product availability and sales.

For cross-border sellers, relabeling isn't just a warehouse management issue; it's also a test of supply chain efficiency and brand operations. Failure to address this issue promptly can lead to product removal from Amazon, unsold inventory, and a backlog of returns.

Increasing Demand for Relabeling on Amazon

In recent years, competition in the US e-commerce market has intensified. According to eMarketer, Amazon's share of the US e-commerce market reached 37.6% in 2024, maintaining its leading position. This massive transaction volume is driven by a high frequency of inventory adjustments and returns.

Among them, "warehouse transfer and relabeling" has become an essential part of sellers' daily operations:

Warehouse transfer: Due to Amazon FBA warehouse capacity adjustments or inventory distribution optimization, sellers need to transfer products from the original warehouse to the new warehouse to maintain sales timeliness;

Relabeling: When product SKUs, ASINs, barcodes, or brand packaging are updated, relabeling is required to ensure compliance with FBA listing requirements.

For cross-border sellers without local warehousing capabilities, completing this operation entirely across borders is not only time-consuming and costly, but may also cause secondary delays due to customs clearance issues.

The Trend of Combining Returns, Warehouse Transfers, and Dropshipping

The return rate in the US market remains high globally. According to Statista data, the overall return rate for US e-commerce is approximately 16.5%, with apparel products reaching as high as 26%. A large number of returned products often require re-inspection, relabeling, or re-listing. In these cases, if sellers can complete the integrated return, relabeling, and re-listing process locally, it will greatly improve capital turnover efficiency.

This has prompted more and more sellers to seek local warehouses capable of handling returns, restocking, and dropshipping, thus achieving flexible inventory flow and a complete closed-loop sales chain.
