1. Self built warehouse by the seller
This category is the overseas warehouse built by the seller himself. The advantage of this kind of overseas warehouse is that the seller can control and manage itself and is flexible. The disadvantage is that the seller needs to solve the problems of warehousing、 customs declaration、 logistics and transportation、 and the construction cost and risk of self built warehouse are also large. In addition、 it is difficult to obtain advantageous prices in transportation if the delivery volume is not large.
2. Platform warehouse (e.g. Amazon FBA)
This is a service provided by Amazon itself for sellers. At the same time、 Amazon has many preferential policies for users: for example、 it helps sellers improve the ranking of products on Amazon's pages and become featured sellers. However、 the fees are expensive、 the customer service is not up to standard、 the flexibility is poor、 and it is also very annoying.
3. Third party overseas warehouse (such as Todropshipping fulfillment)
The actual cooperation between cross-border e-commerce and third-party overseas warehouses also falls into two categories.

Air transport means ordinary air transport. When transporting large quantities of goods、 the general freight will be cheaper than express delivery. However、 they need to deliver the goods themselves、 declare customs and even apply for inspection. It may also inspect the goods.
Express delivery is not necessarily air transportation. If it is international transportation、 the delivery time in some places is not necessarily faster than ordinary air transportation. But usually、 there is no need for customs declaration and inspection、 and it is convenient to pick up and deliver goods at home.
