Different modes of cross-border logistics, time and freight are also different, different logistics providers, service quality is also different. Several commonly used cross-border logistics modes are: 1) special line of air freight + delivery 2) international express 3) postal parcel 4) Overseas warehouse Especially in recent years, the national policy and the demand of major cross-border e-commerce platforms have led to the rapid development of overseas warehouse logistics mode, and cross-border logistics has ushered in the era of overseas warehouse.

By contrast, the benefits of the offshore position model are even more obvious:

1) Change the location of the goods to easily become an overseas seller and increase product exposure.

2) Improve the pricing level of goods sold to achieve competitive local sales.

3) Effectively reduce order response time and improve logistics delivery timeliness.

4) Shipping goods overseas in bulk to effectively reduce logistics costs.

5) Rapid return and exchange processing to improve customer satisfaction.

Cross-border/local e-commerce practitioners in Southeast Asia

Seven people agreed with the answer

Shopee and Lazada, the two main platforms for cross-border e-commerce in Southeast Asia, are both backed by domestic Internet giants.

From the point of view of domestic enterprises, they want to gather Chinese sellers as soon as possible and deliver Chinese goods more quickly. Therefore, they should do their homework in cross-border logistics and cross-border payment, provide one-stop service for Chinese sellers, lower the threshold, let more domestic small and medium-sized enterprises join, and form a huge organization, which is more conducive to improving the development of the platform and market share.

The most important thing for international express delivery is to consider the price and time, as well as the follow-up tracking, compensation service level.

Shopee and Lazada cooperate with third-party logistics, with the supervision of the platform, more secure, and lower rates. The sellers of the platform only need to package the goods to the domestic transit warehouse after receiving the order. The platform is responsible for all the outbound and international transportation of the goods. Moreover, the transit warehouse has been set up in the cross-border e-commerce gathering places (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu, Fujian, etc.), so the operation is convenient and efficient.

Some sellers even move their offices close to the transit warehouse, which can be delivered and scanned by buyers on the same day, making them more competitive than other cross-border sellers. Because Southeast Asian people pay great attention to the timeliness of logistics, just like in China, the buyer has not updated the logistics status 2-3 days after placing an order, which is likely to cancel the order!

For special products, such as power bank, large bottle toner, Bluetooth products, oversized products, adult products and other products prohibited by the platform, the seller can try third-party logistics.

The following are some international express companies with high service quality and efficient delivery: EMS, FEDEX, UPS, DHL and TNT.

1, EMS: generally 3-7 working days to arrive, can receive goods on the day, the day of operation, customs clearance ability is strong.

2. FEDEX: It generally takes 3-7 working days to arrive. The price to Central and South America and Europe is more competitive.

3, UPS: generally 2-4 working days, more than 200 countries and regions in the world have the network, query website information update quickly.

4. DHL: The time limit is usually 2-4 working days. There is a separate large package price for goods over 21 kg. Small packages are 20-30% more expensive than international EMS.

5. TNT: Generally 2-4 working days, fast speed, especially 3 working days to Western Europe, relatively complete network, fast query website information update.

As for looking for an international freight forwarder, it is recommended to go to cross-border e-commerce related exchange activities and merchants association to find it. You can meet the boss or manager of the logistics company and know the specific situation of the logistics company face to face, which is safer. It is also available through peer recommendations.
