TVS Order Fulfillment Services | TVS Drop Shipping
In international logistics, live products are sensitive goods, because the temperature and air pressure during transportation will change greatly, and the battery is flammable and explosive, and many aviation construction sites are directly not responsible for the business of air transportation of live products. But there must be a way to transport them abroad, otherwise how can these appliances be exported?
Charged products can be mailed abroad, but the procedures related to personal direct mail are very complicated, and there are very strict requirements for battery power. Therefore, the core is to find a reliable shipping company.
Todropshipping is through the company's professional channels for sensitive goods, special products and live products mailed to foreign countries. In addition to live products, food, cosmetics, high-end brand products, etc. are sensitive goods, which can be transported by dropshipping.
Affected by the epidemic, China's LCD TV exports have not ushered in a good start this year. According to the database of China Commercial Industry Research Institute, China's LCD TV exports from January to April 2020 were 25.96 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 11.1%. However, in the context of insufficient material supply, fluctuating raw material prices, lack of workers and blocked cross-border logistics, TV brands such as TCL and Hisense have ushered in an increase in sales overseas.
According to data, in the first quarter of this year, the sales of TCL brand TVs in the US retail market increased by 6% year-on-year, of which sales in March increased by 45% month-on-month.
01 Large goods are easily damaged during transportation. Due to the characteristics of large goods such as large volume、 high quality and high value、 it is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation. However、 some overseas warehouses will ignore this. For example、 some overseas warehouses will not provide waterproof packaging for the goods、 adopt professional packaging techniques、 and create protective clothing、 which will cause damage to large goods during transportation due to improper packaging protection.
02 Large capital investment and cost estimation. The purchase cost of medium and large parts is much higher than that of small parts、 which has certain requirements for the seller's capital、 selection、 logistics and other capabilities.
03 In terms of logistics、 overseas warehouses are required、 and the logistics cost accounts for more than 30% of the turnover. Due to product weight、 volume and other reasons、 most large products are shipped to overseas warehouses by sea. After platform orders are generated、 they are directly delivered to consumers from overseas warehouses. The logistics cost of large products usually accounts for about 30% of the turnover、 which is reflected in the following aspects: the length of goods exceeds the standard、 extra long surcharges、 overweight products include overweight charges、 product packaging is too large、 and the size does not meet the standard、 which may lead to uncontrolled logistics costs.
Advantages of self built overseas warehouse: it can improve the delivery speed of products
Save logistics costs、 control the return and exchange of goods and after-sales service、 control the storage、 avoid the problem of warehouse explosion and logistics warehouse arrangement. It should be noted that the start-up capital of the self built overseas warehouse is relatively high in the early stage、 and the problems that need to be managed in different places and the risks that need to be borne are relatively high. If there are funds and goods in the early stage、 we can consider building our own overseas warehouse.
Advantages of third-party overseas warehouse: time-saving、 labor-saving and worry free
The cost is relatively low. Professional teaching can also save logistics costs. It has the advantage of centralized processing. There is no difference between off-season and peak season. Personnel management and control is simple. There are UPS or FEDEX accounts for centralized shipment at the end. The price must be much cheaper than that of individual overseas warehouses.
