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.
1. Lower logistics cost: direct delivery from overseas warehouses in the United States to customers is equivalent to domestic express delivery、 which is lower than that from China to foreign countries.
2. Faster delivery time: After the first transportation of American overseas warehouse solves the complex problems of transportation、 customs declaration、 customs clearance、 etc.、 you don't need to worry about the customs declaration and customs clearance of the articles in the warehouse、 wait for orders、 and ship at any time.
3. Higher product exposure: if the platform or store has its own warehouse overseas、 then local customers will generally give priority to local delivery when choosing to shop、 because this can greatly shorten the time of receiving goods、 the advantages of overseas warehouse、 and also enable sellers to have their own unique advantages、 thus improving the product exposure and improving the sales of the store. Todropshipping has overseas warehouses in Europe and the United States. It is a good choice because of its convenient delivery、 transit and warehousing.
1. Calculation of LCL fee
LCL freight shall be calculated by "W/M" method、 W means weight ton、 and the gross weight of the commodity is 1000kg=1 weight ton; M stands for size ton、 1 cubic meter=1 size ton. The "W/M" method means that the larger one is selected from the weight tons and the size tons.
2. Calculation of full container freight
The freight of full container cargo is calculated according to the actual weight as the same as that of LCL、 and the freight is calculated according to the type of container. When a full container is consigned and the container is owned by the shipping company、 the carrier has provisions on "minimum container utilization rate" and "maximum container utilization rate" when calculating ocean freight
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.
