There are three forms of overseas warehouse for cross-border e-commerce: FBA、 self built warehouse、 third-party warehouse
In fact、 managing the overseas warehouse is to manage its own goods and ensure that the goods are sufficient without wasting resources. This requires managers to consider sales data、 costs and other aspects to make full use of the overseas warehouse and help the normal supply of goods.
The biggest difference is:
International air transport is generally from airport to airport. The consignor must deliver the goods to the warehouse at the airport or other places designated by the carrier、 and the consignor must go through the export customs declaration formalities by itself (of course、 if you go to the extreme、 you may ask that you can entrust an agent to do it instead of delivering and customs declaration by yourself、 of course、 you can entrust an agent to do it、 but the cost must be borne by you、 the same principle) The customer shall also go through the import customs clearance procedures when picking up the goods;
However、 international express delivery is almost a door-to-door service、 that is、 after the express company receives the goods at the door、 it directly delivers the goods to the address specified in the waybill until the consignee signs for receipt、 which is considered to be the completion of the service. During this period、 the export customs declaration and import customs clearance at the port of destination are handled on behalf of the express company. Sometimes、 when there are many goods、 the import duties generated at the port of destination are paid on behalf of the express company、 and then collected from the consignee when dispatching.
The selection of third-party e-commerce fulfillment dropshipping agent is very critical. They have advantages in terms of service quality、 service scope、 service fees、 etc. If they are not selected well、 subsequent cooperation is prone to various accidents. Therefore、 we suggest that you should pay attention to these aspects when choosing the corresponding company.
Geographic location: The location of the third-party company is very critical、 or it is located in the first tier cities、 where there are very rich logistics resources. If the location is not close to your own、 you should not choose other locations for the docking of goods. Later cooperation will be inconvenient.
Service content: whether the service content of the third party company can meet its own warehousing and logistics needs、 such as professional storage space、 camera equipment、 security commitment、 etc. If the third party company cannot provide、 do not choose.
Service level: The service level may not be high、 but it must not be low. It can reduce the occurrence of cargo accidents and ensure the delivery efficiency.
Corporate reputation: we must see the corporate reputation、 which can help us step on many pits less.
