01 Large goods are easily damaged during transportation. Due to the characteristics of large goods such as large volume、 high quality and high value、 it is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation. However、 some overseas warehouses will ignore this. For example、 some overseas warehouses will not provide waterproof packaging for the goods、 adopt professional packaging techniques、 and create protective clothing、 which will cause damage to large goods during transportation due to improper packaging protection.

02 Large capital investment and cost estimation. The purchase cost of medium and large parts is much higher than that of small parts、 which has certain requirements for the seller's capital、 selection、 logistics and other capabilities.

03 In terms of logistics、 overseas warehouses are required、 and the logistics cost accounts for more than 30% of the turnover. Due to product weight、 volume and other reasons、 most large products are shipped to overseas warehouses by sea. After platform orders are generated、 they are directly delivered to consumers from overseas warehouses. The logistics cost of large products usually accounts for about 30% of the turnover、 which is reflected in the following aspects: the length of goods exceeds the standard、 extra long surcharges、 overweight products include overweight charges、 product packaging is too large、 and the size does not meet the standard、 which may lead to uncontrolled logistics costs.

In the early years、 Matson Mason、 as an enterprise with the background of the US military、 was little known in the market. It was not because of his low popularity、 but because he was busy doing business with the US government and was unwilling to do business in commercial trade. If the US FBA logistics market was not very popular in recent years、 many people might not know this company、 their military background、 the self owned wharf of Long Beach Port、 and the 12 day direct flight to the US from Shanghai to Ningbo Customs clearance stability has become a household name in the market、 so it has also become a benchmark for the US FBA logistics.

ZIM (Star Ship) is not as famous as Maersk、 COSCO、 EVA and other shipping companies in the field of traditional shipping、 but it is also a relatively old shipping company. It failed to capture the market opportunities and missed its first share in the U.S. FBA logistics industry、 but it does not affect its own company advantages. In order to prevent Mason's monopoly in the FBA field He quickly made a strong and powerful counterattack - The NewSpeedyZIMeCommerceXpress (abbreviated as ZEX)、 which was specially tailored for cross-border e-commerce marine cargo、 improved efficiency as much as possible by optimizing the operation process of picking up and returning goods at the port of departure and destination、 and met the demand of cross-border e-commerce customers for timeliness. Therefore、 he has launched a long confrontation with Meisen in the FBA logistics in the United States.

I recommend you to try

There are many advantages of third-party e-commerce fulfillment dropshipping. For e-commerce sellers、 it can save human、 material and financial resources、 shorten the entire e-commerce operation process、 improve operational efficiency、 and enjoy the professional operation of professionals. However、 this service also has obvious disadvantages. First、 it needs to pay the corresponding fees. Second、 the commodity information is easy to be leaked. Third、 the storage of goods to a third-party company is not conducive to supervision. However、 in general、 the advantages of third-party e-commerce warehousing fulfillment dropshipping to the seller are obviously greater than the disadvantages、 and it is a very worthy choice of value-added services.
