Concept: Amazon’s last-mile truck delivery via sea freight typically involves transporting goods from overseas suppliers to the destination country by sea, followed by truck delivery for the final leg to an Amazon warehouse. Here is a basic explanation of the process:
1. Sea Freight Stage:
- Shipping: The supplier prepares the goods and loads them into containers.
- Sea Transport: The containers are shipped from the exporting country to the importing country’s port. This stage is usually the most time-consuming part of the transportation process.
2. Customs Clearance:
- Once the goods arrive at the destination port, they need to go through import customs clearance. This process includes paying any applicable duties and taxes and ensuring the goods comply with local laws and regulations.
3. Port to Distribution Center:
- After customs clearance, the goods are transported from the port to an Amazon distribution center or warehouse. This is typically done via truck.
4. Last-Mile Delivery:
- This is the final segment of the logistics chain, where the goods are delivered from Amazon’s warehouse to the end customer’s address. Amazon may use its own logistics network or third-party logistics providers to complete this part of the delivery.
The advantage of this channel is that it reduces long-distance transportation costs through sea freight while leveraging the flexibility and speed of truck delivery to ensure timely delivery to customers.
