People who often receive or send packages should have encountered problems such as damaged packaging, unclear address, and missing internal parts. What principles should be adhered to in the transportation and packaging of international logistics/express goods (cargo, express, parcel, etc.)? What problems should be paid attention to in AR product packaging?
1) Suitable for transportation
This is the basic requirement for transportation packaging (transportation packaging is also called outer packaging, as opposed to commodity packaging/inner packaging/sales packaging). The transport packaging must be strong, impact-resistant, and vibration-resistant, and at the same time, it must take into account the functions of moisture-proof, anti-theft, and anti-loss.
2) Protect the product, prevent moisture and theft
Protecting the product is the minimum requirement for packaging, and other requirements (such as being suitable for transportation, easy to load and unload, beautiful, etc.) are only meaningful under the premise of protecting the product. For high-value but small-sized products, special attention should be paid to the function of moisture-proof and anti-theft. If the anti-theft seal is attached to the outer package, as long as the seal is intact, it means that the product inside is not lost.
3) Easy to load and unload
It is well packaged, easy to handle, easy to load and unload, which is conducive to improving efficiency, and at the same time, it can avoid the damage and damage that may be caused to the goods by "brutal loading and unloading". Such as: pay attention to the weight and size of each package - too heavy will lead to inconvenience in handling and loading and unloading; irregular shape is not conducive to neat stacking, which may easily lead to unnecessary deformation and damage. If it is palletized goods or large-sized goods that must be loaded, unloaded, and transported by forklifts or cranes, it must be convenient for mechanical operations, such as necessary jacks or lifting holes or rings.
4) Moderate and reasonable packaging
According to the actual situation of the goods (weight, size, shape, volume, etc.), choose suitable packaging boxes, boards, packaging fillers, sealing methods (whether wrapping straps), and reinforcement methods. Be sure to avoid the packaging box being too large, resulting in insufficient packaging with empty space inside, which is very likely to cause damage to the packaging and the goods. Of course, it should not be overpacked, resulting in unnecessary waste of packaging materials.
5) The package is integrated
The outer packaging should be integrated with the inner protective materials, buffers and the product itself. When an outer packaging contains multiple small inner packagings, it is necessary to pay attention to the neat and good stacking between the contents or between the outer packaging and the contents. When the gap is filled, it should be filled with buffer or protective material to avoid unnecessary collision, friction or extrusion due to the gap.
6) Pay attention to the balance of direction and center of gravity
If the goods cannot be placed sideways or upside down, the goods that must be facing up must be clearly marked on the outer packaging, and there must be "up" and other relevant signs on all sides. During handling, loading and unloading, storage, and transportation, the outer packaging must be strictly followed. The arrows on it identify the correct handling and disposal of the goods. The center of gravity of the package should be located in the center, and the weight distribution should be kept as balanced as possible. If the center of gravity cannot be kept near the center due to the problem of the item itself, it is best to indicate the weight on that side.
1. Lower logistics cost: direct delivery from overseas warehouses in the United States to customers is equivalent to domestic express delivery、 which is lower than that from China to foreign countries.
2. Faster delivery time: After the first transportation of American overseas warehouse solves the complex problems of transportation、 customs declaration、 customs clearance、 etc.、 you don't need to worry about the customs declaration and customs clearance of the articles in the warehouse、 wait for orders、 and ship at any time.
3. Higher product exposure: if the platform or store has its own warehouse overseas、 then local customers will generally give priority to local delivery when choosing to shop、 because this can greatly shorten the time of receiving goods、 the advantages of overseas warehouse、 and also enable sellers to have their own unique advantages、 thus improving the product exposure and improving the sales of the store. Todropshipping has overseas warehouses in Europe and the United States. It is a good choice because of its convenient delivery、 transit and warehousing.
Air freight price calculation method:
（1） Air freight charge weight
According to the provisions of the airline、 when the cargo is small and heavy、 it shall be calculated according to the actual weight; In case of large volume and small weight of goods、 it shall be calculated by volume. A batch of goods consists of several different goods、 including light goods and heavy goods. The billing weight shall be the total gross weight or total volume weight of the whole batch of goods、 whichever is higher.
（2） Air freight price calculation and cost category
1. Rates;
2. TRANSPORTATIONCHARGES;
3. The airlines charge the international air freight according to the three regional rates set by the International Air Transport Association;
4. There are four main types of air freight: (1) general freight; (2) Freight rate of special goods or designated goods; (3) Class freight rate of goods; (4) Freight rate of container cargo
（3） Minimum freight
The minimum freight that the airline can accept for handling a batch of goods、 regardless of the weight or volume of the goods、 and the minimum amount that should be charged for transporting a batch of goods between two points. Different regions have different minimum freight rates.
（4） Other provisions on air freight price calculation
All the different air freight rates and charges have the following common points: the freight rate refers to the transfer from one airport to another. It is only applicable to a single direction; Other additional costs are not included. Such as picking up、 customs declaration、 delivery and warehousing expenses. Freight rates are usually published in local currency. Freight rates are generally calculated in kilograms or pounds. The freight rate in the air waybill is based on the applicable freight rate on the date when the air waybill is issued.
Because large products are troublesome in the operations such as palletizing and handling of goods、 the quantities are very large、 which requires the overseas warehouse staff to quickly record the warehouse location information of goods when warehousing、 and to quickly find the corresponding goods when outbound to complete the outbound.
Therefore、 we need to use an appropriate overseas warehouse system to cooperate with the management. It is suggested that you can check whether the overseas warehouse system includes such functions as receipt and consignment、 delivery allocation、 and delivery record、 which can help you manage large products more clearly.
The system independently developed by TODROPSHIPPING can complete the delivery forecast and the printing of the delivery order、 and the order number information of the final logistics will also be automatically returned to the system、 without the need for staff to manually upload the order number and manually match the order、 making the delivery easier and more efficient.
Although the proportion of large products in overseas warehouse products has declined、 there is still a lot of demand for them、 so we should pay attention to them.
