How to select an appropriate overseas warehouse for medium and large articles?

1. Mature management system: the information connection between customers、 commodities、 overseas warehouses and logistics companies is very important. It is necessary to choose the system that meets the order integration needs of your own enterprise. For overseas warehouses、 the maturity of the system is the key to the maturity of overseas warehouses;

2. Warehouse area and operation capacity: the overseas warehouse explosion and poor turnover are also common problems in peak seasons. Therefore、 companies with large inventory and operating capacity can also avoid these problems to a large extent;

3. Whether there is a professional team in China: an overseas warehouse service company with a domestic professional team will master the specifications before the goods are sent to the overseas warehouse、 to avoid problems overseas to the greatest extent、 to better avoid problems overseas、 and to better communicate and coordinate with customers;

4. Whether the overseas warehouse team is a local team: especially whether the person in charge of the overseas warehouse has many years of overseas life experience and many years of operation experience in the logistics industry. Each country and region will have different rules、 understand the truth、 and grasp the cost and risk;

5. Service items: In addition to providing overseas warehousing services、 are there any other sophisticated and comprehensive services? Companies with more comprehensive services will save you time and worry、 and make your turnover more flexible;

6. Whether customers will be selected: the warehouse itself has a clear positioning、 and any customer will receive overseas warehouses、 which will be highly risky. If any problem occurs in any link、 even one customer's problem will affect other customers. Therefore、 it is more reassuring to know how to refuse customers' overseas warehouse.

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.

In the case of Matson Express、 it is a ship transporting international goods、 and its timeliness is relatively fast.

1、 Advantages of Meisen Express

1. Advantages

Matson Express fast shipping integrates the whole transportation process、 picking up process and its own advantages. Its most significant feature is fast picking up and delivery.

Time efficiency advantage: It only takes about 11 working days for container loading from Shanghai Port to Los Angeles、 the fastest shipping route at present.

Own terminals: In addition to fast speed、 Meisen Express has its own dedicated terminal in Los Angeles、 and other shipping companies use public terminals、 so Meisen Express has higher efficiency in container handling、 the most significant advantage in the peak shipping season、 is not easy to arrange warehouses、 and has good stability.

2. Disadvantages

High price: because Meisen Express is the fastest channel、 the price of Meisen Express is also the highest.

The ship can only be shipped in Shanghai: after receiving the goods in other domestic cities、 they also need to be sent to Shanghai for shipment. They are not friendly to other regions outside Shanghai、 which will increase domestic transportation costs.

3. Suitable for Matson Express fast shipping

On the whole、 Meisen Express is still a good shipping channel in the United States、 but it can only ship at Shanghai ports. Such shipping channels are only suitable for export enterprises in Shanghai and its surrounding cities. How to be an export enterprise in Shenzhen? It may be more cost-effective to spend time and money to ship goods to Shanghai、 increase the time and cost of transportation、 and choose other sea transportation.

4. Safe and efficient

Matson Express fast shipping has its own dock in the United States、 which will give priority to its own business needs and will not be affected by unexpected events.

5. Convenient and fast

Matson Express fast shipping ship is fully loaded in most cases、 so there is no need to participate in shared cabins、 and the benefits of not participating in shared cabins are obvious. Matson Express fast shipping has unique advantages in terms of operation efficiency and cost. Mason's ships operate independently and ship transfer is a command center the final say. The docks in the United States are easy to contact with ships. Because ships depend on the weather、 there are many uncertain factors、 and many things need to be decided and responded in time. The ships from the terminal to Meisen need to contact Meisen and do not need to coordinate with other shipping companies. Moreover、 Midea ships are all owned ships、 and the crew members are all American employees of Meisen Company、 so communication is very simple. Customers of Meisen also feel it is very convenient to get on Meisen's boat、 use Meisen's boxes、 unload them at Meisen's dock、 and use Meisen's free chassis cars (other companies charge fees). It is very convenient.

6. Unique

As far as the specific route is concerned、 the possibility of duplication of Matson Express fast shipping route is very low. Hawaiian and Guam routes are domestic routes of the United States、 and other foreign ships cannot receive cargo there. But what can be copied is regression value. This is something everyone can do and the shipping company must do. Customers vary widely. Sometimes customers don't know what they need. Before you present a specific product to him、 he is not very clear. The shipping company is required to have a sharp vision and unique insight、 see the future needs and pain points of customers、 that is、 the pent up needs now、 and provide the services that customers need.

7. Excellent financial position

In fact、 when they came to China from the United States and Spain、 they were already profitable. Then return to the United States from China、 although as a return cargo、 the freight rate of Matson Express fast shipping is higher than that of other shipping companies' main eastbound routes. So the financial situation of this route is very good. Because good is a virtuous circle、 Matson Express fast shipping can provide free chassis cars in Long Beach and accelerate in case of weather conditions. Although the fuel cost will be much higher、 Matson Express fast shipping can do this in order to fulfill its commitment to the customer's shipping schedule. In fact、 this is a virtuous circle. Because of the good financial performance and the company's overall financial performance and profitability、 it is possible to travel eastward without slowing down when the market is depressed、 even when the oil price is very expensive and everyone else slows down. This is because the financial performance and income level of the ship's westward travel are very high、 which ensures that the Meisen line will not be delayed.

1. Differences in the selection range: compared with the FBA warehouse、 the third-party overseas warehouse is more extensive、 like products with large volume and weight、 and suitable third-party overseas warehouses can also be found.

2. Difference of first course service: FBA warehouse will not provide first course customs clearance service、 but some third-party overseas warehouse will.

3. Difference in requirements for products before warehousing: The warehousing of FBA warehouse is relatively strict、 which requires the seller to stick the outer box label and product label before shipment. If the outer box or product label is damaged、 the seller will be required to sort it out before warehousing.

The warehousing requirements of the third-party overseas warehouse are not as high as those of the FBA warehouse、 and they even provide sorting and assembly services before putting on the shelf.

4. Differences in distribution after product warehousing: Amazon defaults to separate warehouses、 while third-party overseas warehouses generally place goods from the same seller in the same warehouse for centralized management.

5. Difference in warehousing cost: Generally speaking、 if the volume of goods is large、 the cost of using the FBA warehouse is higher than that of the third-party overseas warehouse.

6. Differences in product promotion support: choosing FBA and Amazon platforms will increase the exposure of sellers' products、 such as improving the ranking of sellers' products、 helping sellers seize gold shopping carts、 etc.、 which will help improve the flow and sales of sellers' stores.

Consideration factor 1. Whether the expected delivery time of the goods is consistent with your own requirements

Although the Japanese special line is a good transport scheme for goods to be delivered directly from the current region to the destination、 the main means of transportation and specific driving routes used by the Japanese special line developed by different logistics enterprises are not identical. Therefore、 when choosing the special line in Japan、 enterprises need to confirm the expected delivery time of goods to the logistics enterprises that provide the route in advance. If they find the special line that takes a relatively long time to transport goods、 they should try to avoid it.

Consideration 2. Whether there will be additional costs after the goods are delivered to the destination

Because the charging standards and cooperation process rules of logistics enterprises corresponding to different Japanese special lines are not completely consistent、 some logistics enterprises even require the pickup person to pay a certain service fee after successfully delivering customers' goods to the destination. Therefore、 when choosing the Japanese special line、 the enterprise must understand the charging system from the logistics enterprise in advance、 including whether there will be additional charges during the delivery of goods or after the goods are delivered to the destination、 so as to avoid the impact on the process of goods delivery due to the lack of consensus on costs.
