When choosing American overseas warehouse、 we should first choose self operated warehouse、 because it is easier to operate、 affordable、 can actually manage goods、 truly understand the status of goods、 and has enough space.

Secondly、 if you choose another third party to act as an agent for the overseas warehouse、 acting as an agent for the overseas warehouse generally means that the third party acts as an agent for the overseas warehouse、 which is equivalent to an intermediary、 so the price is relatively high、 and there is no way to know the true situation.

If you think about it again、 the self operated overseas warehouse will be responsible for its own goods first、 while the agent's goods will be placed behind、 so the risk will be relatively high. Recommend the US self operated overseas warehouse of Todropshipping.

Basic mode of overseas warehouse: for the first time、 you can prepare goods in small batches to the overseas warehouse、 and then prepare goods according to the sales volume of the platform. The overseas warehouse has an inventory pre-warning function、 which can be distinguished according to different selling levels.

The operation process of overseas warehouse is generally divided into three steps:

First、 the first journey (the domestic customs clearance reserve goods are delivered to overseas warehouses by sea、 air and express).

Second、 warehousing (cross-border e-commerce enterprises carry out remote filing of goods SKU in the system of overseas warehouses、 and other goods are scanned for warehousing and put on the shelf after warehousing).

Third、 delivery at the end of the delivery (cross-border e-commerce sellers place orders in the system of the overseas warehouse in real time after they have orders、 the overseas warehouse issues goods according to the seller's order information、 arranges local postal or express delivery、 and uploads the order number in the system of the overseas warehouse in real time). According to the operation process of Todropshipping overseas warehouse、 there are warehousing fees for warehousing、 and order processing fees and delivery fees for final delivery. If multiple orders are merged into one receiving address、 there are consolidation fees and container change fees.
