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.

01 Mature management system: the information connection between customers、 commodities、 overseas warehouses and logistics companies is very important. It is important to choose the system that meets the order integration needs of your own enterprise. For overseas warehouses、 the maturity of the system is the key to the maturity of overseas warehouses.

02 Warehouse area and operation capacity: the problem of overseas warehouse explosion and poor turnover also occurs frequently in peak season. Therefore、 companies with large inventory and operating capacity can also avoid these problems to a large extent.

03 Whether there is a professional team in China: An overseas warehouse service company with a domestic professional team will master the specifications before the goods are sent to the overseas warehouse、 so as to avoid problems overseas to the greatest extent、 and also better avoid problems overseas、 and better communicate and coordinate with customers.

04 Whether the overseas warehouse team is a local team: especially whether the person in charge of the overseas warehouse has many years of overseas life experience and many years of operation experience in the logistics industry. Each country and region will have different rules、 understand the truth、 and grasp the cost and risk.

05 Service items: In addition to providing overseas warehousing services、 are there any other sophisticated and comprehensive services? Companies with more comprehensive services will save you time and worry、 and make your turnover more flexible.

06 Whether customers will be selected: the warehouse itself is clearly positioned、 and any customer will receive overseas warehouses、 which will pose high risks. If any problem occurs in any link、 even one customer's problem will affect other customers. Therefore、 it is more reassuring to know how to refuse customers' overseas warehouse.

FBA air transportation is a common way of international logistics transportation. In the first transportation of fba、 many sellers are willing to choose air transportation to transport their goods to the destination、 because in terms of timeliness、 air transportation is relatively stable. In the case of the special line to fba in the United States、 the timeliness is generally about 2 days、 but if you choose sea transportation、 it may take 15-20 days、 and sometimes it will be more affected by the weather So it's good to choose air transportation.

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.
