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.

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.

Advantages of self built overseas warehouse: it can improve the delivery speed of products

Save logistics costs、 control the return and exchange of goods and after-sales service、 control the storage、 avoid the problem of warehouse explosion and logistics warehouse arrangement. It should be noted that the start-up capital of the self built overseas warehouse is relatively high in the early stage、 and the problems that need to be managed in different places and the risks that need to be borne are relatively high. If there are funds and goods in the early stage、 we can consider building our own overseas warehouse.

Advantages of third-party overseas warehouse: time-saving、 labor-saving and worry free

The cost is relatively low. Professional teaching can also save logistics costs. It has the advantage of centralized processing. There is no difference between off-season and peak season. Personnel management and control is simple. There are UPS or FEDEX accounts for centralized shipment at the end. The price must be much cheaper than that of individual overseas warehouses.
