First of all、 we learned that the overseas warehouse is actually a kind of overseas leased warehouse derived from the service of cross-border e-commerce or foreign trade. The appearance of overseas warehouse has greatly improved the storage and delivery time、 efficiency problems、 logistics costs、 customs clearance fees、 etc. For the seller、 a series of savings and efficiency improvements have made the profit of the seller's own products continue to increase、 followed by a more convenient delivery service One piece consignment of overseas warehouse is divided into one piece consignment of supplier's goods source and self owned goods source to prepare goods for overseas warehouse. After the customer places an order、 the overseas warehouse system issues delivery instructions、 and the overseas warehouse staff receives the instructions、 they are responsible for the final delivery work such as packaging and shipment.

Naturally、 we have some understanding of his process from the understanding of overseas warehouse and one agent:

1. The cross-border foreign trade seller arranges express delivery to deliver the goods to the US warehouse;

2. The warehouse shall count the goods received and put them on shelves;

3. When a buyer places an order on the platform、 the buyer uploads the order in the warehouse system;

4. The warehouse receives the order instruction to distribute goods and deliver goods、 and the American local logistics delivery;

5. The buyer receives the order item.

1. Headline transportation cost: It refers to the cost incurred in the first transportation of goods from China to the United States. The seller should choose a suitable transportation mode according to its own needs.

2. Warehousing or fulfillment charge: the cost of goods stored in overseas warehouses in the United States、 charged according to the storage period of goods、 and generally calculated according to the volume and weight of goods occupied.

3. Management fee: the expenses incurred by American overseas warehouse personnel for product entry、 transportation、 packaging and goods management do not include labor costs.

4. Delivery fee: One piece delivery is the service that most American overseas warehouses will provide now. The seller will push the order to the overseas warehouse、 and the overseas warehouse will arrange product delivery、 which is subject to the charge of the overseas warehouse.

5. Additional service fees: services such as transit、 return and replacement of goods、 overseas customer service、 etc. will be charged a certain amount of additional service fees、 mainly based on the services selected by the seller.

The logistics mode to be used depends on its own operation and logistics demand.

Of course、 under the current unstable international market background、 the advantages of overseas warehouse are indeed more prominent. Considering the current logistics timeliness、 in order to prevent the product from being out of stock、 some goods can be stored in the overseas warehouse in advance、 and FBA can timely replenish the goods through the overseas warehouse when the inventory is urgent; Value added services such as issuing one piece for overseas warehouse、 returning goods and changing marks can also bring a lot of convenience and opportunities. It is really convenient to centrally transport the goods to the country where the market is located for storage、 and deliver the rest to overseas warehouse for final delivery? The state also supports the construction of overseas warehouses、 but the overseas warehouses are still in the period of free expansion、 and there are many pitfalls in choosing overseas warehouses. Most sellers seeking stability will use overseas warehouse enterprises with reliable service scale、 such as barns、 at least in terms of cost、 timeliness、 system use and storage management. Of course、 whether to use overseas warehouse or not depends on whether you have stable order demand support and can bear a certain warehousing cost.

The special line generally refers to the door-to-door transportation mode of Shuangqing、 similar to express delivery.

However、 air transportation is only the transportation from one airport to another、 which requires separate application for customs declaration and clearance.

In general、 small goods are more likely to choose special lines. Preferential price for large goods transported by air.
