First of all、 we need to know two concepts: billing weight unit、 first weight and additional weight

Billing weight unit: The international express industry generally takes 0.5KG (0.5kg) as a billing weight unit.

First weight and additional weight: the first 0.5KG is the first weight for international express delivery、 and every additional 0.5KG is an additional weight. Generally、 the cost of hoisting is higher than that of continuous hoisting.

There is one price between 0.5KG and 0.5KG、 which is the first weight price. The part exceeding 0.5KG will be charged according to the additional weight price

Therefore、 the actual freight is equal to the first weight price+additional weight price

When the actual weight of the goods to be delivered is greater than the volume weight、 the freight=first weight freight+(actual weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

When the actual weight of the delivered goods is small but the volume is large、 the freight=the first freight+(volume weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

Note that the freight here is only the basic freight、 not the final total cost、 and there may be other additional costs.

Packaging fee: Generally、 international express companies provide free packaging、 cartons、 bubbles and other packaging materials、 but many items、 such as clothing、 can be packaged without extra fine packaging、 but some express companies will charge a certain packaging fee for valuable and fragile items. Packaging costs are generally not included in the discount calculation.

Fuel surcharge: all major international express will be updated in real time according to market conditions. Please consult customer service for specific fees.

Other uncertain expenses: such as service fees in remote areas、 sensitive freight charges for sending batteries、 powders、 liquids、 food、 brands、 etc.、 which are mainly related to the items and regions you send.

Basically、 total cost=(freight+fuel surcharge) × Discount+packaging cost+other uncertain costs

In addition、 different countries and different logistics channels have different basic charging standards、 and the cost may also be affected by many factors such as flight outage. The specific charging standards can also be subject to the real-time quotation of the express company.

The normal time limit for international express delivery is 3-7 days so that it can arrive. DHL express、 UPS express red bill、 normal arrival in about three days、 air dispatch special line arrival in about ten days、 depending on what items you send、 how many、 and the time limit requirements、 all have appropriate transportation methods.

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.

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.

The third-party overseas warehouse is the logistics warehousing mode selected by many cross-border e-commerce sellers、 and the domestic reputation is good、 such as TODROPSHIPPING US overseas warehouse. For example、 the overseas warehouse can deliver the goods to the warehouse in the destination country and put them on the shelf. If there is an e-commerce order、 the local delivery can be provided; There is also the Amazon FBA transit replenishment service、 which is to avoid the impact of out of stock on sales and ranking、 and the third-party overseas warehouse can timely replenish goods to Amazon FBA locally; There is also the service of returning goods and changing marks. After all、 it is very convenient to face the problem of returning goods. If you want to sell the goods on the market again、 you must change the marks to pass the application of the platform、 and the overseas warehouse can help you change the marks; In addition、 there are some basic warehousing fulfillment services that require a certain amount of warehousing fees. These overseas warehouse services are commonly used. You can communicate with your overseas warehouse service provider according to your needs.
