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. We should confirm the weight and volume with the customer in a timely manner. If the customer does not confirm the weight and volume、 the cost will be very troublesome after the goods fly out.
2. In air transportation、 customers usually declare their goods and documents on the same day、 so it is troublesome to arrange the shipping space. If possible、 declare as many shipping spaces as possible. It is difficult to add if there are fewer shipping spaces. If there are more、 you can find a way to collect goods.
3. Generally、 the airline and the first-class agents have basically arranged their seats before 12:00 noon. In this case、 it is not appropriate to take over large cargoes that are required to take off the next day. You'd better not take over until the space is determined、 otherwise you will be very passive.
4. In principle、 air cargo requires that the cargo should be stored in the airline warehouse for more than 24 hours. In actual operation、 it should be handed over the night before the plane takes off. Special urgent goods can be handed over on site. In principle、 4 hours before the cargo plane takes off and 2 hours before the passenger plane takes off、 but do not suggest the customer to hand over the goods on site as early as possible、 unless you can make a special decision.
5. The waybill shall be confirmed with the customer in a timely manner、 and the Chinese name for customs declaration shall be provided by the customer、 etc.
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.
