Welcome to episode 282 of the China Manufacturing Decoded podcast from Sofeast where we take a deep dive into the logistics and product preparation differences across three major e-commerce and sales channels.

Adrian and Kate from Sofeast break down how to optimize supply chains depending on whether you're shipping to retailers, selling through Amazon FBA, or running a direct-to-consumer (D2C) operation.
