People who often receive or send packages should have encountered problems such as damaged packaging, unclear address, and missing internal parts. What principles should be adhered to in the transportation and packaging of international logistics/express goods (cargo, express, parcel, etc.)? What problems should be paid attention to in AR product packaging?
1) Suitable for transportation
This is the basic requirement for transportation packaging (transportation packaging is also called outer packaging, as opposed to commodity packaging/inner packaging/sales packaging). The transport packaging must be strong, impact-resistant, and vibration-resistant, and at the same time, it must take into account the functions of moisture-proof, anti-theft, and anti-loss.
2) Protect the product, prevent moisture and theft
Protecting the product is the minimum requirement for packaging, and other requirements (such as being suitable for transportation, easy to load and unload, beautiful, etc.) are only meaningful under the premise of protecting the product. For high-value but small-sized products, special attention should be paid to the function of moisture-proof and anti-theft. If the anti-theft seal is attached to the outer package, as long as the seal is intact, it means that the product inside is not lost.
3) Easy to load and unload
It is well packaged, easy to handle, easy to load and unload, which is conducive to improving efficiency, and at the same time, it can avoid the damage and damage that may be caused to the goods by "brutal loading and unloading". Such as: pay attention to the weight and size of each package - too heavy will lead to inconvenience in handling and loading and unloading; irregular shape is not conducive to neat stacking, which may easily lead to unnecessary deformation and damage. If it is palletized goods or large-sized goods that must be loaded, unloaded, and transported by forklifts or cranes, it must be convenient for mechanical operations, such as necessary jacks or lifting holes or rings.
4) Moderate and reasonable packaging
According to the actual situation of the goods (weight, size, shape, volume, etc.), choose suitable packaging boxes, boards, packaging fillers, sealing methods (whether wrapping straps), and reinforcement methods. Be sure to avoid the packaging box being too large, resulting in insufficient packaging with empty space inside, which is very likely to cause damage to the packaging and the goods. Of course, it should not be overpacked, resulting in unnecessary waste of packaging materials.
5) The package is integrated
The outer packaging should be integrated with the inner protective materials, buffers and the product itself. When an outer packaging contains multiple small inner packagings, it is necessary to pay attention to the neat and good stacking between the contents or between the outer packaging and the contents. When the gap is filled, it should be filled with buffer or protective material to avoid unnecessary collision, friction or extrusion due to the gap.
6) Pay attention to the balance of direction and center of gravity
If the goods cannot be placed sideways or upside down, the goods that must be facing up must be clearly marked on the outer packaging, and there must be "up" and other relevant signs on all sides. During handling, loading and unloading, storage, and transportation, the outer packaging must be strictly followed. The arrows on it identify the correct handling and disposal of the goods. The center of gravity of the package should be located in the center, and the weight distribution should be kept as balanced as possible. If the center of gravity cannot be kept near the center due to the problem of the item itself, it is best to indicate the weight on that side.
One-stop dropshipping means that cross-border e-commerce sellers deliver their products in bulk to third-party overseas warehouses in the United States by shipping、 air freight and other logistics forms、 and when the platform generates orders、 it will send them back to the warehouse、 where the warehouse will process the goods according to the orders、 and then deliver them to relevant logistics companies such as UPS、 USPS、 FedEx、 DHL、 etc. for delivery. The process is as follows:
1. Prepare goods to overseas warehouse
The seller is required to transport the goods to the overseas warehouse through the first transportation、 and then put them on shelves after the warehouse acceptance.
2. Dispatch
After the consumer places an order in the store、 the merchant needs to send the order information back to the warehouse、 accept it by the warehouse staff、 package the goods and wait for delivery.
3. Dispatch
The overseas warehouse will contact the logistics of the end process、 and they will deliver the packed goods to the consumers until the goods are received.
At present、 most of them will provide a consignment service to better meet the seller's selection、 delivery and other issues、 especially for novice sellers. Of course、 the seller also needs to find a partner to support the delivery of one piece of goods、 so that the goods can be delivered in time.
For overseas warehouses that issue goods on behalf of others、 most of their service types also include export tax refund、 customs clearance、 distribution、 return processing、 return inspection、 overseas after-sales maintenance、 transit service、 and the service of pushing and changing labels.
Therefore、 the option of issuing overseas warehouse on behalf should not be sloppy.
Now let's share how to choose an appropriate overseas warehouse.
Whether there is a mature management system
For sellers、 customers、 goods、 overseas warehouses and information sharing and docking with logistics companies are very important、 so it depends on whether the management system matches the integration needs of their own enterprises、 such as order management、 waybill management、 etc. This is essential for a mature overseas warehouse enterprise.
Whether there is enough storage area and operation capacity
It is believed that we all often encounter the problem of "overseas warehouse explosion"、 which will lead to problems in the peak season turnover. Therefore、 the cooperative overseas warehouse enterprises must have a large inventory and professional operation capacity、 which can largely avoid these problems and enable the expansion of e-commerce sellers.
Whether there is a professional service team
The professional service team can provide cross-border e-commerce sellers with a one-stop service system、 starting from the delivery of goods to overseas warehouses. This can minimize the problems of goods overseas、 and at the same time、 it will be more coordinated and harmonious when connecting with customers.
PS: When selecting overseas warehouses、 we must make detailed adjustments、 such as whether the person in charge of the overseas warehouse has many years of overseas life experience、 and whether he has many years of operation experience in the logistics industry.
Clear billing mode
Not all overseas warehouses are reliable. Some overseas warehouse enterprises will attract you with low prices、 but there are many surcharges behind. Therefore、 when choosing、 sellers must find clear and definite charges and prices、 and there is no ambiguous overseas warehouse.
PS: In addition、 it is necessary to know in detail whether the geographical location of the warehouse is convenient and whether the service team is all Chinese. Because if the shipment is urgent、 most Chinese people accept overtime、 which can increase the processing speed of goods.
