Diversifying E-commerce Logistics: Cubbo's Alternative to Major Marketplaces

Explore alternatives to Mercado Libre Full and discover how Cubbo can improve your e-commerce logistics, offering greater flexibility and control.

In the highly competitive world of e-commerce, logistics is a key piece for ensuring operational success.

That is why a common strategy for many sellers is to use the fulfillment service offered by major marketplaces, such as Mercado Libre and Amazon. 

However, the high demand for these services and the unpredictability of the rules raise important questions about the need to diversify your logistics.

Cubbo presents itself as a viable and advantageous alternative in this landscape.

In this article, we will discuss these topics and how Cubbo can be an efficient solution to free you from the limitations and control that major marketplaces can have over your e-commerce.

What is Fulfillment for an e-commerce business?

As defined by Josu Gurtubay, Co-founder of Cubbo:

'Fulfillment for e-commerce is a blend of art and science in the operational logistics process that includes product storage, synchronization, order preparation and packaging, through to delivery to the end customer.'

In other words, fulfillment is the process of managing and executing all activities necessary to process and deliver orders.

This process involves several stages:

• Product receipt
  
  
• Storage
  
  
• Picking and packing
  
  
• Shipping to the customer
  
  
• Returns management (reverse logistics)
  
  

In summary, when an e-commerce business chooses to outsource its fulfillment, it delegates its logistics to specialists with experience and expertise, while it can focus on other areas of the business.

Mercado Libre Full, major marketplaces, and growing demand

There is no doubt that Mercado Libre has become a giant of e-commerce in Latin America, and its Mercado Libre Full service has been a valuable tool for many sellers.

This service has attracted businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, due to the convenience and efficiency it offers.

Mercado Libre Full handles the entire logistics process: from storage in its distribution centers, through packaging, to delivery to the end customer.

This all-in-one model allows sellers to focus on managing their business while Mercado Libre handles logistics.

However, the growing success of this service has also generated extremely high demand, especially after the rise of e-commerce in recent years.

And that same demand has led to restrictions on sellers' ability to send new products to fulfillment centers.

Similar situations have occurred with other major players such as Amazon FBA, Fulfillment Magalu, and others.

The risks of relying exclusively on Mercado Libre

Depending on a single marketplace for sales and logistics is risky.

If that single channel decides to limit how many products you can send to its fulfillment center, your operation can stall completely.

This exposes a serious problem for your business:

Major marketplaces can change the rules whenever they want.

They can 'clip your wings' and block your growth.

With high demand and constant uncertainty, it is clear that relying solely on Mercado Libre Full or Amazon for your logistics is not sustainable.

That is why it is so important to consider other logistics alternatives and diversify your fulfillment strategy.

And that is where Cubbo comes in.
