First, let's popularize what are the types of logistics methods involved in cross-border e-commerce:
1. International Express (Express):
If you have been engaged in foreign trade or domestic e-commerce, you should have heard of express companies like DHL, FedEx, UPS, and SF International. Their main business is a worldwide courier service. Generally, in terms of timeliness, it has the ability to deliver in 3-7 days. Door-to-door courier service is available. There is a logistics tracking track throughout the process. Generally, small and light products with high value, or when buyers choose to send goods by global courier, we will use international express delivery. However, the shipping cost of international express delivery** is relatively highest. Often when we do cross-border e-commerce, if the buyer does not pay the freight, but free shipping, most of them are losing money or not making money.
2. Small parcel direct mail:
Here is an example of the e-Packet of the Post. It covers almost more than 90% of the world, and can also be delivered to various remote areas. There is a logistics track tracking throughout the process. For orders sent to postal parcels, the speed is slower than that of global couriers. And although there is ** information, there is also a probability of loss. The customer experience is average, but it is one of the most common forms of logistics. Among the small sellers who are new to the operation of AliExpress, most of them will use small packages for direct mail. Of course, AliExpress has also integrated this kind of logistics method online, and put forward a worry-free logistics plan and other ways to help sellers solve the problem of delivery.
3. Overseas warehouse mode:
At present, the overseas warehouse model is the trend of cross-border e-commerce, and it is also an export model advocated by the state. In short, it is to prepare our goods to the destination warehouse in advance, and then the order is shipped and distributed by the destination warehouse. It greatly shortens the timeliness of logistics. In general, it can be delivered within the next day to a week. The buyer experience is good. At the same time, it is also relatively lower in terms of shipping costs**. But the premise requirement is that we need to send the goods to the overseas warehouse. In this way, as a seller, we pressed a batch of inventory before generating sales. Therefore, when the store has stable sales, it will stock up according to its own sales cycle. It is for sellers who have just started to do cross-border stores, which means that the cost has risen.
4. Special line logistics:
Similar to small packet direct mail. It is often the international freight company that reaches a cooperation with the courier company of the destination country. The goods sent from China to the country are sorted and centralized with certain specification attributes. The whole shipment is then delivered by air to the warehouse at the destination and then handed over to the local courier company for delivery. It is a way between overseas warehouse and international express, similar to international parcel direct mail. Often the tracking number we get is the courier tracking number of the destination country. For those who know the industry, this is a logistics solution for the first leg - transit warehouse - tail mile. ** Quite cheap, and relatively fast. Of course, this kind of method is also common in online shipping in AliExpress. For example, logistics channels such as Yanwen, IML, and Shunyou in online delivery.
