It is necessary for sellers of AliExpress to choose overseas warehouse. Why do you say so?

From the perspective of the markets covered by the AliExpress platform、 Russia and Brazil are the main markets for orders. About 60% of the overall order volume of the seller comes from Russia、 and 25% - 30% comes from Brazil or South America、 which happens to be the most difficult regions for customs clearance in South America.

Why choose overseas warehouse?

1. Overseas warehouse sellers can solve the problem of customs clearance of goods. Since it usually takes about a month to arrive in Russia by land transportation from China to Russia、 and also goes through strict customs inspection、 the logistics time is longer. Once the goods have problems、 the loss is not small.

2. Solve the problem of logistics timeliness. Some regions in Russia can achieve the same day or the next day、 which is totally different.

The seller should not want to save costs through overseas warehouse. The seller can sell several dollars more through overseas warehouse、 which is acceptable to customers. Instead、 the seller can achieve higher profits through overseas warehouse.

In addition、 the seller should be informed that the cost of domestic delivery and logistics may reach 500 yuan of freight、 while the cost and freight of 100 yuan of overseas warehouse will be saved a lot.

Therefore、 if the seller of AliExpress has the ability、 he must choose an overseas warehouse to deliver goods、 which can solve many problems for the seller
