By Abass Ganiyu


Amazon is set to introduce a new discount section on its platform that will facilitate direct shipping from China. This move is aimed at offering more affordable products to customers while streamlining the supply chain. By allowing products to be shipped directly from Chinese manufacturers to consumers, Amazon hopes to reduce costs and delivery times significantly.

The new discount section will feature a variety of products shipped directly from Chinese suppliers, bypassing intermediate warehouses. This initiative is expected to attract price-conscious shoppers and enhance Amazon's competitive edge in the e-commerce market.

The decision aligns with Amazon's broader strategy of leveraging its global logistics network to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. This direct shipping model is anticipated to lower prices and provide faster shipping options, making Amazon's offerings more appealing to a global audience.

This launch represents a significant step in Amazon's efforts to optimize its supply chain and expand its product range by tapping into the extensive manufacturing capabilities of Chine.
