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.
For Amazon users in Chinese Mainland、 the first step of Amazon FBA includes two steps:
1. Deliver the goods to the warehouse of domestic service providers;

One stop to shore overseas warehouses are built in Los Angeles and Mexico City、 providing one-stop control and management services such as first journey transportation、 cargo storage、 local return and exchange、 labeling、 etc. Domestic warehouses have opened the FBA direct delivery service of sea and air transportation in many places、 becoming a seamless bridge with FBA.
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.
What is warehousing consignment:
Consignment means that e-commerce cooperates with third-party fulfillment and logistics companies、 signs relevant contracts、 places its own goods in third-party warehouses、 or the purchased goods are directly delivered to third-party warehouses by the supplier、 the system provided by the third party matches the domestic waybill number with the international waybill number、 e-commerce makes item remarks in the system remarks column、 and the third party checks and verifies that there is no error The third-party warehousing company will help the e-commerce to handle the delivery、 packaging and delivery of goods. If the delivered goods are delivered in large batches、 in multiple days and batches、 it is necessary to put the goods on shelves in the system and the warehouse location、 place the goods in the corresponding warehouse location、 and ensure the consistency of product names and quantities. The customer only needs to place an order directly in the system next time、 set an inventory alert、 and replenish the inventory in a timely manner. This is warehousing.
Many people separate fulfillment from consignment. In fact、 in my opinion、 this is just one thing. It saves e-commerce from spending a lot of manpower、 material resources and energy on warehouse and operation、 and also improves the professionalism of operation. It also eliminates the need to send goods to e-commerce first、 then to e-commerce and then to logistics providers. It also greatly improves the timeliness、 while ensuring the speed and quality of logistics services.
