Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Hello, so I dropship on Amazon successfully on UK and DE marketplaces using Aliexpress, I was dropshipping on Amazon USA for a period of 3 months but then randomly Amazon stopped being able to read Caniao tracking numbers (My VTR dropped down to below 50% which isn't right, and this was not happening before), even though Amazon has it as a list of couriers accepted. Something has certainly changed.

As I say Amazon UK and DE are still working perfectly fine accepting tracking numbers, but this is because they give you DHL, Royal Mail, Yodel and Evri tracking numbers so there won't ever be an issue for those marketplace countries.

Does anyone know if Trackerbot will work well for converting Caniao tracking numbers for Amazon US?

Looking for some guidance thanks.

I doubt there's any dropshipping solution that's going to work long term on USA Amazon.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

The order gets delivered by a domestic delivery company, theres got to be a method to find the domestic courier tracking, surely.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Amazon wants their packages to be delivered by their delivery company

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

no they dont. i dropship on amazon since january no problem. fbm sellers do not need to use amazon logistics in any way shape or form.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Might not be what you want to hear but it's the truth in the US. I watch the Amazon truck drive by my house multiple times per day, knowing that even the sellers using that service are barely making a profit.


If you've been doing it since January with no problems then why are you here looking for alternative solutions?

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Surely the easiest answer is to have your supplier ship with a courier supported by amazon.com

You are seeing the BLUECARE Van,which is affiliated with AMZN,but it will deliver non AMZN packages as well.
But there is another way,orders received by a local AMZN warehouse,it will broadcast delivery request and any resgistered driver in the area could accept the order,I know my hair guy does that sometimes,I think he gets $3.95 .Kind of like UBER and LYFT.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

No I'm seeing the Amazon van. They're one of the largest door to door delivery companies in the US now.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

You have misinterpreted this post. I need people who actually sell on Amazon as FBM sellers to respond.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

I sell on AMZN,I ship USPS,no problem.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Yes i know thats possible, must be shipping ur own products / using 3PL that ships with USPS.

My route question on this thread is asking if anyone knows how to convert a aliexpress tracking number to the domestic US tracking number that actually delivers it in the US. Since I only get the Cainao tracking (Aliexpress courier) but at some point down the line once it reaches the US, a US courier will takeover the delivery, that is the tracking number I am trying to get my hands on.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Do you see that USPS tracking number when you go to Aliexpress and check on that order?

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

No i do not, only Cainiao and SOMETIMES Gofo Express

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

My point responding to your thread is to say that it's a hopeless pursuit. Maybe I can save you from a little stress in the future. Amazon does not want foreign sellers trying to scalp a profit from the US marketplace by dropshipping, which is why they go out of their way to prevent it from happening. The fact that you've had some luck in smaller markets does not imply you can do the same on US Amazon.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

do you sell on Ebay?
If yes,do you have the same problem?
I know there is a service which Ebay sellers use to convert AMZN tracking to USPS tracking,as Ebay does not accept AMZN tracking number.
May be they can do the same for your Ali tracking number.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

I was doing the same on Amazon very well for 7 months. Just something in their system reading carriers has changed.

Check yourself, Amazon USA even have Cainiao listed an accepted courier, which is specifically Aliexpress courier. They do allow it if done correctly.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

eBay is a different ball game, its easy mode so I have no issues with eBay. Amazon, different story.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

so are you doing it correctly?

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

everything was good, until something has just changed that it can no longer read the tracking number correctly. at least consistently anyway.

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

Maybe change in coding

Re: Amazon USA + Aliexpress tracking number
 

something defo changed
