Hey Adrian!
It just depends on your final destination and what other resources you use. When I’ve used a logistics company in the past, I trust them to handle everything for me.

If you get the supplier themselves to do it, you can even ask them to do DDU or DDP (final destination).

Hello everybody!
do you have an article in which you also plan in detail the planning of all costs and planned profits?

In reply to Emma. Hi Emma- I'm not sure Gen's response answers your question. The reason why they only take the $4 COGS and $2 shipping into consideration here is because that's the investment on which you'll have to wait for a return. The FBA fees are withheld from sales meaning that it's a cost you, but not necessarily an investment. PPC is a bit more tricky, I don't inlcude it in ROI calculations because I'm happy to generate sales at break even (incl. COGS, shipping, PPC costs) in order to get sales velocity and thus rank on key words.

Great step by step instruction. I was not aware of the feature to send one email to multiple suppliers at one time. I followed the templete and step by step instructions just as discribed and I am already getting quotes. Thanks JungleScout Team!

In reply to zeus.

Hey Zeus,

Generally, EXW is a product quotation excluding shipping. So that’s just the basic cost of the product. FOB is freight-on-board, which means the product’s cost including the cost to get it to the nearest port. and then DDU and DDP are costs related to the product arriving at its final location excluding tax and including tax respectively.

In reply to Chris.

Hey Chris,

I am not sure who was used for this shipment. We usually ask our suppliers to provide quotes for air shipments, as they generally have good connections. You can also get some quotes yourself with any courier (DHL etc.).

For air shipping, I would normally just “shop around” and go with the cheapest option.

Many thanks,
Kym
