Overseas warehouses and fulfillment are of great significance to cross-border e-commerce. Overseas warehousing is to transport goods overseas for centralized storage、 which greatly reduces the transport cost of goods and increases the security of goods transport. To do cross-border e-commerce、 you need to first transport the goods to a foreign warehouse. If it is an overseas warehouse、 it is your own local warehouse. This warehouse can be rented or purchased by yourself. The initial investment for overseas warehouse is relatively large、 but once it is built、 there will be no storage and other costs.

International maritime transport is an important and most important mode of transport in international cargo transport. It mainly transports goods by sea through ships and other means of transport. For example、 international shipping is classified by ship type、 including general cargo ships、 bulk cargo ships、 liquid chemical ships、 container ships、 etc.、 and cargo types、 including mineral sand ships、 coal ships、 grain ships、 oil tankers、 container ships、 etc In a word、 international shipping is an indispensable part of international trade

1. Self built warehouse by the seller

This category is the overseas warehouse built by the seller himself. The advantage of this kind of overseas warehouse is that the seller can control and manage itself and is flexible. The disadvantage is that the seller needs to solve the problems of warehousing、 customs declaration、 logistics and transportation、 and the construction cost and risk of self built warehouse are also large. In addition、 it is difficult to obtain advantageous prices in transportation if the delivery volume is not large.

2. Platform warehouse (e.g. Amazon FBA)

This is a service provided by Amazon itself for sellers. At the same time、 Amazon has many preferential policies for users: for example、 it helps sellers improve the ranking of products on Amazon's pages and become featured sellers. However、 the fees are expensive、 the customer service is not up to standard、 the flexibility is poor、 and it is also very annoying.

3. Third party overseas warehouse (such as Todropshipping fulfillment)

The actual cooperation between cross-border e-commerce and third-party overseas warehouses also falls into two categories.

Shipping is only one of the first trips of FBA. FBA shipping is divided into ordinary ships (slow ships) and fast ships、 which are different in speed and efficiency. As the name implies、 ordinary ships need to be slower、 and fast ships need to be faster. Taking MATSON and ZIM as examples、 you can reach the ports of Western America in about 13 days by sea. If you want a good time limit、 you can choose express. The whole time limit is about 22-30 days.

For international express delivery、 we often use the four major express DHL、 UPS、 FedEx、 TNT and EMS. The international express delivery time is normally 3-7 days、 depending on your time limit requirements、 where to send、 and the need for fast time limit、 you can refer to DHL express delivery. DHL express delivery can reach major countries and regions in 3-5 days.
