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.

Because Amazon is not responsible for the logistics services sent from China to overseas Amazon warehouses、 FBA first service appeared. Amazon fast registration green channel and FBA first journey service are provided. Canada FBA first service has three delivery methods.

Direct delivery; DHL、 UPS、 Fedex and other products are generally priced at more than 20kg. They are fast and suitable for urgent replenishment. In addition、 express delivery is free of reservation warehousing、 but it should be noted that Amazon does not act as the main body of customs clearance、 is not responsible for customs clearance and tax payment、 and must do a good job of declaration and tariff advance and prepare local customs clearance importers in advance.

The first voyage of FBA sea transportation: sea transportation+local customs clearance+destination country delivery、 trinity、 ready delivery and ready delivery. The whole price does not include tax. This kind of sea transportation is a long first journey、 which usually takes more than a month. In the local area、 it is sent to Amazon by trailer、 which generally requires warehousing reservation. The operation is more troublesome than express delivery. However、 the price is cheap. If you calculate it as 1CBM=167kg、 it is just a few yuan and 1kg、 which is 1kg cheaper than the express delivery. However、 it has a long time limit and is more suitable for non urgent replenishment.

FBA air transportation first journey: air transportation+local customs clearance+destination country delivery、 trinity、 delivery at any time and delivery at any time、 the whole journey including tax to the door. This air transportation first journey is more effective、 generally about 10-15 days、 and the local transportation is to Amazon by car. Generally、 warehousing reservation is required、 and the operation is more difficult、 but the price is moderate、 and the time is just right. Generally、 air transportation is more cost-effective、 but it is not suitable for urgent goods.

FBA's first sea voyage should be the lowest in terms of price and timeliness. Direct delivery and FBA's first air voyage allocation should be the same

Air transport aviation:

Advantages: It takes three to four days to get to the destination airport. Disadvantages: high cost、 no way to fly a single overweight and oversized item、 and no delivery of liquids and explosives.

Ocean sea Shipping: Advantages: products with low cost and cannot be transported by air can basically be transported. Disadvantages: It takes a long time to sign for receipt、 and it usually takes one month in Europe、 America and other remote regions.

In fact、 there is no conflict between the two. Most big e-commerce companies maximize their profits by taking advantage of both sides. The paint bar month before the peak shipping season starts to arrange shipping by sea. Specific shipments with short air transportation time can meet the needs of customers who need to shop during the shipping period. It is also not too much in the off season.

Some promotional activities can be properly conducted to attract more potential customers

Cross border special line small parcels are generally the logistics method used by e-commerce self delivery sellers. They are cheaper than international express delivery、 and faster and safer than postal parcels. However、 there are also differences in the service of special line packets. For example、 cross-border packets in TODROPSHIPPING also have registered mail and peace mail. Generally speaking、 the time limit of special line registered mail is a little faster than that of ordinary mail. At the same time、 registered mail can track packages、 while ordinary mail does not provide tracking service because its price is cheaper. Therefore、 not all cross-border special line logistics can be tracked、 depending on the service you choose.
