What is warehousing consignment:

Consignment means that e-commerce cooperates with third-party fulfillment and logistics companies、 signs relevant contracts、 places its own goods in third-party warehouses、 or the purchased goods are directly delivered to third-party warehouses by the supplier、 the system provided by the third party matches the domestic waybill number with the international waybill number、 e-commerce makes item remarks in the system remarks column、 and the third party checks and verifies that there is no error The third-party warehousing company will help the e-commerce to handle the delivery、 packaging and delivery of goods. If the delivered goods are delivered in large batches、 in multiple days and batches、 it is necessary to put the goods on shelves in the system and the warehouse location、 place the goods in the corresponding warehouse location、 and ensure the consistency of product names and quantities. The customer only needs to place an order directly in the system next time、 set an inventory alert、 and replenish the inventory in a timely manner. This is warehousing.

Many people separate fulfillment from consignment. In fact、 in my opinion、 this is just one thing. It saves e-commerce from spending a lot of manpower、 material resources and energy on warehouse and operation、 and also improves the professionalism of operation. It also eliminates the need to send goods to e-commerce first、 then to e-commerce and then to logistics providers. It also greatly improves the timeliness、 while ensuring the speed and quality of logistics services.

According to the form and packaging of goods、 the maritime transport goods are divided into three categories: liquid goods、 dry bulk goods and general cargo. The three categories of goods are divided as follows:

① Liquid cargo: petroleum、 product oil、 liquefied gas、 liquid chemicals and other liquid cargo.

② Dry bulk cargo: various primary products and raw materials. Generally、 dry bulk cargo can be divided into bulk cargo and small bulk cargo according to the size of transportation batch. Bulk cargo mainly includes coal、 metal ore、 grain、 etc; Small batch bulk cargo includes steel、 wood、 fertilizer、 cement、 etc.

③ General cargo: mainly including electromechanical equipment、 chemical industry、 light industry medicine and other industrial finished products、 agricultural、 animal husbandry and fishery products. These goods are generally consigned in the form of "pieces"、 "boxes" and "bundles"、 including packaged goods、 unpacked goods or non packaged goods、 and unitized goods.

Most of the products are suitable for overseas warehouse、 and the scale effect of using overseas warehouse for products above 400g is cheaper than small bags. However、 the overseas warehouse is very strict in checking the products of illegal goods、 and there are some categories that cannot be done or are unsuitable

1. Unsuitable liquid、 powder and paste

2. No contraband

3. Products with short shelf life are not suitable

4. It is not suitable to prepare goods in large quantities for products that are greatly affected by seasons or festival products
