In 15 years、 AliExpress has started the overseas warehouse project、 but this overseas warehouse is a cooperative third-party overseas warehouse. There are also introductions about overseas warehouse services on AliExpress's official website、 and you can also contact Taobo's supply chain.

For sellers、 the platform will give different support to overseas warehouse sellers

1) The flow must be inclined

2) Overseas warehouse sellers default to local return and exchange service、 which is also a better buyer experience

3) The setting of freight template allows you to set local delivery、 which is more reliable and preferred for buyers

Overseas warehouse itself also has many advantages: low scale effect、 low cost、 fast delivery of local return and replacement、 good buyer experience、 no congestion in peak season、 no impact of customs clearance、 buyer experience、 expand sales categories、 large goods can also be managed by warehouse and handled by a third party、 simple operation、 and platform traffic tilt

The special line for small packages combines the advantages of small packages and special lines. It is a logistics channel for delivering small packages by air、 sea and other transportation methods、 focusing on the transportation of small packages.

The small package special line is the small package and the special line. Small parcels、 which are suitable for relatively small items、 and small parcels sent abroad through postal air mail service、 can be called international small parcels.

The special line refers to the route channel to specific countries、 the general British special line、 the American special line、 and the German special line are international special lines、 and there are air transportation、 sea transportation、 and rail transportation.

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.

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.

1. Whether there is a professional team in China or the destination Country 

Some overseas warehouses are only responsible for the part after overseas warehousing. Once problems occur、 the goods are already overseas、 which is often difficult to deal with. The overseas warehouse service with a domestic professional team will be standardized before the goods are sent to the overseas warehouse. Overseas warehouse opening by HATO can provide cross-border e-commerce sellers with one-stop import and export customs clearance services、 good customs clearance qualifications、 mature customs clearance experience、 fast and efficient、 to maximize the avoidance of overseas problems、 and also to maximize the avoidance of overseas additional costs.

2. Whether the warehouse provides insurance

In recent years、 some overseas warehouses have become more and more standardized. In order to ensure the interests of sellers、 they have begun to provide various types of insurance、 cargo damage insurance、 loss of parts insurance、 delay insurance and other insurance against cross-border e-commerce pain points. The seller has always been in a weak position. Once there is a problem in the warehouse、 these insurances allow the seller to obtain reasonable claims without losing money.

3. Scale and hardware facilities

It is very easy to understand、 a small overseas warehouse has relatively poor stability、 and an overseas warehouse company with a scale of 5K square meters or even tens of thousands of square meters can hardly close down or disappear overnight. The same is true for the hardware facilities. The perfect hardware facilities mean that the overseas warehouse can provide more efficient and mature services.
