Testimonial with Economic Comics - ‘FBA has likely been the best business decision we made in 2009. Sales are up and growing our business further is a very achievable goal.’

 

Surrey based Economic Comics was created in October 2006 to supply comic books to fans at the very best prices in the UK without compromising on quality or customer service. Economic Comics also specializes in graphic novels, trading cards, and related products. 

It was by chance that Economic Comics stumbled upon Fulfilment by Amazon. Simon Mott the co founder explained, ‘In September 2009, we noticed a competitor using FBA and decided to investigate the service. We quickly found details and were very impressed. We had to read the PDF on the fee structure a couple of times to believe it. Amazon was running a promotion to try out the service and it was basically a no brainer to give it a go.’  Economic Comics were amazed by the speed with which they saw the first results and delighted that their decision to join FBA paid off so quickly. Simon explained ‘In the first week alone we approximately doubled our sales. We also sold a number of items that had been sitting on our shelves for months. We were able to win on price and customers were able to combine our items as part of any Super Saver Delivery or Prime order.’
 
‘FBA has enabled us to sell a higher volume of existing products in addition to new lines at a very cost effective price.  This saving increases every time we expand our product range and send new lines to Amazon. We’re now selling a lot of bulkier toys that are too big for us to store in large quantities.’
 
‘All our consignments to the Amazon fulfilment centre have been received and made available for sale in less than 24 hours. It takes us approximately two to three hours a month to send a delivery to Amazon—this saves us approximately two working days (picking, packaging, customer support e-mails, and so on)—not only is this valuable time saved, but it also highly profitable when compared to the equivalent costs of labour!’

We would also highly recommend FBA.The service to both seller and buyer is first class.
Our only concern is that Amazon address a returns policy for FBA with more protection for sellers.
The normal Amazon returns policy does not apply to FBA and too many buyers are now savy to this and abuse the system by using products and returning within 30 days for a refund just like TV shopping such as QVC.
Used products can no longer be sold and also the seller has to pay Amazon for the items to be returned to seller.
A revised returns policy for FBA would make the system near perfect.
