The COVID-19 pandemic exposed critical vulnerabilities for Amazon sellers relying solely on FBA.

Key takeaways
Diversify your fulfillment strategy beyond FBA using a 3PL to mitigate risks from disruptions like pandemics or holiday surges.
Utilize 3PLs to seamlessly expand your sales channels to platforms like Walmart, Shopify, Wish, and eBay, reaching a wider customer base without increased logistical complexity.
Prioritize fast and affordable shipping by leveraging 3PL infrastructure to meet customer expectations and maintain a competitive edge.
Outsource fulfillment to a 3PL to free up internal resources, allowing your team to focus on core business growth areas like product development and marketing.
Proactively integrate with a 3PL rather than waiting for a crisis to optimize your supply chain and ensure business continuity and scalability.
In this episode of Follow The Data, we're interviewing Michael Sene from Deliverr - one of the the top 3PL companies eCommerce sellers are tapping into for explosive growth. When Covid hit, Amazon sellers saw their inventory (and profit) freeze. Many started searching for alternative options for fulfillment, researching the growing industry of 3PL companies (like Deliverr). Alternative fulfillment options allow you to maintain the shipping speed and convenience necessary to keep on growing all while opening the door to easily host and sell your products on websites like Walmart, Shopify, Wish or Ebay (not to mention protecting your eCommerce operations when big events like Covid or the holidays hit). Third-party fulfillment is the future of eCommerce, and isn't as difficult to tap into as you might think. Consider this episode the first step in the process of integration into 3PLs - it's at LEAST worth the consideration moving forward!
