If the products you are selling require assembly or kitting and packaging and you are currently doing everything yourself, then you have probably had the thought of hiring outside help at least once. While doing everything yourself lets you have more control over the whole process, it can be a huge time sink, especially with a high volume of sales, and if a mistake is made it can cost you in possible FBA fees or bad reviews. In most cases, and especially those where businesses are expecting high sales volume, outsourcing your assembly and shipping is not only cost effective, but will also free up one of your most valuable resources - time.

Doing Everything Yourself Costs You Time

Time is one of the most valuable things a person can have. There is no way someone can get more of it, so most people tend to focus on is doing the most with the time they have. If you are spending too much of your time prepping packages and not enough time building your business and moving forward, then you are essentially working AT your business instead of working ON your business. This is not necessarily a bad thing in every situation however. In fact in the very beginning in may even be beneficial to better understand every step in the process. If you want your business to grow and expand however, you have a much higher chance of succeeding by outsourcing the assembly and prep work to a company you trust.

By letting us handle the prep work, you can reclaim your time and use it to build your business to greater heights. Not only can NowFactory handle any volume your business requires, we can also assemble, package, and ship your order out next-day guaranteed. This combined with our multiple quality control checks throughout the process will ensure consistency with your product, which is something we put a very high value on at NowFactory.

Consistency Is Key

One important factor in your relationship with customers, as well as FBA if you choose to use it, is the consistency of your products. This can refer to the assembly and how efficiently your products are packaged, as well as to all shipping requirements being met which will prevent you from paying any unnecessary fees. At NowFactory, we are very proud of how consistent we are at meeting and exceeding expectations across the board.

With multiple quality control checks along the way your product will not only be presented exactly how you specify, it will also be packaged as efficiently as possible and be fully compliant with any shipping or packing requirements you may have from FBA or other services. This will prevent you having to spend time fixing issues as well as saving you money on potential fees. 

Avoiding FBA Fees

If you are selling your products through Amazon and using their fulfillment service (FBA), you are probably aware of their strict packaging requirements and fees for not complying. Keeping up with the requirements and adhering to them is very important if you don't want the fees to eat into your profit margins. Whether it's kitting and bundling your items before they get to a fulfillment center, using the correct type of packaging and boxing material, or even just placing labels in the correct spot, all of this can incur unexpected fees unless FBA guidelines are meticulously followed. Doing all this yourself is not just difficult, especially if you're launching new products and have to prototype your own packaging as well, it can also be time consuming and potentially cost you money in accidental fees.

At NowFactory we have over a decade of experience selling on Amazon and complying with FBA requirements. We monitor all packing guidelines and continuously check for compliance. We also send every package through a series of quality control checks before they ship out, checking that your products are presented according to your guidelines as well as adhering to the FBA requirements avoiding any fees. Letting NowFactory handle your FBA prep will not just give you more time and opportunity to focus on growing your business, we can also give you peace of mind knowing you don't have to worry about unexpected FBA fees.

You Just Don't Want To...

Sometimes the reason to outsource isn't complicated or deep, it could be as simple as you just don't want to do it yourself. This could be especially true if you have many different products that require different kinds of prep work, or your volume is so high you can't make it to everything without giving more effort than you are able to put in. These reasons are completely valid and worth outsourcing the work.

An important factor for running a successful business is your attitude. If you are having to do labor that is a downer on your mental fortitude, it can impact your ability to run your business. Spending hours and hours kitting and packaging may not be something that makes you wake up in the morning excited to start working. This is all just fine however, because at NowFactory we love doing exactly that, and we are quite good at it.
