Overseas warehouses and fulfillment are of great significance to cross-border e-commerce. Overseas warehousing is to transport goods overseas for centralized storage、 which greatly reduces the transport cost of goods and increases the security of goods transport. To do cross-border e-commerce、 you need to first transport the goods to a foreign warehouse. If it is an overseas warehouse、 it is your own local warehouse. This warehouse can be rented or purchased by yourself. The initial investment for overseas warehouse is relatively large、 but once it is built、 there will be no storage and other costs.

First of all、 we need to know two concepts: billing weight unit、 first weight and additional weight

Billing weight unit: The international express industry generally takes 0.5KG (0.5kg) as a billing weight unit.

First weight and additional weight: the first 0.5KG is the first weight for international express delivery、 and every additional 0.5KG is an additional weight. Generally、 the cost of hoisting is higher than that of continuous hoisting.

There is one price between 0.5KG and 0.5KG、 which is the first weight price. The part exceeding 0.5KG will be charged according to the additional weight price

Therefore、 the actual freight is equal to the first weight price+additional weight price

When the actual weight of the goods to be delivered is greater than the volume weight、 the freight=first weight freight+(actual weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

When the actual weight of the delivered goods is small but the volume is large、 the freight=the first freight+(volume weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

Note that the freight here is only the basic freight、 not the final total cost、 and there may be other additional costs.

Packaging fee: Generally、 international express companies provide free packaging、 cartons、 bubbles and other packaging materials、 but many items、 such as clothing、 can be packaged without extra fine packaging、 but some express companies will charge a certain packaging fee for valuable and fragile items. Packaging costs are generally not included in the discount calculation.

Fuel surcharge: all major international express will be updated in real time according to market conditions. Please consult customer service for specific fees.

Other uncertain expenses: such as service fees in remote areas、 sensitive freight charges for sending batteries、 powders、 liquids、 food、 brands、 etc.、 which are mainly related to the items and regions you send.

Basically、 total cost=(freight+fuel surcharge) × Discount+packaging cost+other uncertain costs

In addition、 different countries and different logistics channels have different basic charging standards、 and the cost may also be affected by many factors such as flight outage. The specific charging standards can also be subject to the real-time quotation of the express company.

Because Amazon is not responsible for the logistics services sent from China to overseas Amazon warehouses、 FBA first service appeared. Amazon fast registration green channel and FBA first journey service are provided. Canada FBA first service has three delivery methods.

Direct delivery; DHL、 UPS、 Fedex and other products are generally priced at more than 20kg. They are fast and suitable for urgent replenishment. In addition、 express delivery is free of reservation warehousing、 but it should be noted that Amazon does not act as the main body of customs clearance、 is not responsible for customs clearance and tax payment、 and must do a good job of declaration and tariff advance and prepare local customs clearance importers in advance.

The first voyage of FBA sea transportation: sea transportation+local customs clearance+destination country delivery、 trinity、 ready delivery and ready delivery. The whole price does not include tax. This kind of sea transportation is a long first journey、 which usually takes more than a month. In the local area、 it is sent to Amazon by trailer、 which generally requires warehousing reservation. The operation is more troublesome than express delivery. However、 the price is cheap. If you calculate it as 1CBM=167kg、 it is just a few yuan and 1kg、 which is 1kg cheaper than the express delivery. However、 it has a long time limit and is more suitable for non urgent replenishment.

FBA air transportation first journey: air transportation+local customs clearance+destination country delivery、 trinity、 delivery at any time and delivery at any time、 the whole journey including tax to the door. This air transportation first journey is more effective、 generally about 10-15 days、 and the local transportation is to Amazon by car. Generally、 warehousing reservation is required、 and the operation is more difficult、 but the price is moderate、 and the time is just right. Generally、 air transportation is more cost-effective、 but it is not suitable for urgent goods.

FBA's first sea voyage should be the lowest in terms of price and timeliness. Direct delivery and FBA's first air voyage allocation should be the same

Matson fast ship refers to a sea transportation route from Shanghai (Ningbo、 Xiamen) port to Long Beach in the United States.

The predecessor of Matson fast ship is to ship arms. It has entered the Chinese market since 2005、 opened the first China US route (CLX1) in China、 and attached itself to Ningbo Shanghai Long Beach. This route uses five container ships that can carry 2600 TEU containers on average.

Matson Express generally takes about 15 days to sail at sea、 so the time limit is fast.

Matson Express has its own port、 which is not likely to be blocked in the traditional peak season like other ports.

As far as the Amazon seller logistics is concerned、 the FBA business process of Meisen Express is: the FBA goods from Shenzhen and other regions where there are many sellers are loaded first、 then concentrated in Shanghai port by barge、 and then directly sent to Long Beach、 USA.

After arriving at Long Beach、 the goods will be distributed to LA Port or distributed to FBA warehouses by express delivery. Amazon warehouses in Western America deliver goods at the fastest speed and most timely. ONT8 warehouses in Western America are also warehouses where a large number of Chinese sellers concentrate their goods、 so they are very popular with sellers in the United States and Asia.

1. Professional team in China and the USA

If the selected American overseas warehouse has a dedicated team at home、 they will consider some problems that may be encountered after the goods are warehoused overseas and avoid it in advance. In this way、 the situation that the goods have been sent overseas but have encountered problems and are not easy to handle is reduced.

2. Warehouse provides insurance

The goods may be lost、 damaged、 delayed、 etc. in the operation process. Some overseas warehouses will introduce various types of insurance、 cargo damage insurance、 loss of parts insurance、 delay insurance、 etc. In case of problems in the warehouse、 these types of insurance will enable the seller to obtain reasonable claims without loss.

3. Scale and hardware facilities

The small American overseas warehouse has its own limitations. For some emergencies that may not be handled well and cause losses to the seller's interests、 it is recommended to choose an American overseas warehouse with complete hardware and software equipment and complete systems.

4. Independent taxation

The protection of tax and law is not only that your process is legal、 but also that of other customers in the overseas warehouse. In a common warehousing system、 only when everyone is legal can it be truly guaranteed.

5. Clear billing method

Not all American overseas positions are reliable. When choosing、 sellers should remember to look for those whose charges and prices are clear and unambiguous.

6. Provide a mature management system

A mature management system includes inventory、 sales order、 inventory and other data reports、 supports barrier free communication between customers、 goods、 overseas warehouses、 and logistics companies、 and provides accurate and timely information.
