Matson fast ship refers to a sea transportation route from Shanghai (Ningbo、 Xiamen) port to Long Beach in the United States.

The predecessor of Matson fast ship is to ship arms. It has entered the Chinese market since 2005、 opened the first China US route (CLX1) in China、 and attached itself to Ningbo Shanghai Long Beach. This route uses five container ships that can carry 2600 TEU containers on average.

Matson Express generally takes about 15 days to sail at sea、 so the time limit is fast.

Matson Express has its own port、 which is not likely to be blocked in the traditional peak season like other ports.

As far as the Amazon seller logistics is concerned、 the FBA business process of Meisen Express is: the FBA goods from Shenzhen and other regions where there are many sellers are loaded first、 then concentrated in Shanghai port by barge、 and then directly sent to Long Beach、 USA.

After arriving at Long Beach、 the goods will be distributed to LA Port or distributed to FBA warehouses by express delivery. Amazon warehouses in Western America deliver goods at the fastest speed and most timely. ONT8 warehouses in Western America are also warehouses where a large number of Chinese sellers concentrate their goods、 so they are very popular with sellers in the United States and Asia.

1. Professional team in China and the USA

If the selected American overseas warehouse has a dedicated team at home、 they will consider some problems that may be encountered after the goods are warehoused overseas and avoid it in advance. In this way、 the situation that the goods have been sent overseas but have encountered problems and are not easy to handle is reduced.

2. Warehouse provides insurance

The goods may be lost、 damaged、 delayed、 etc. in the operation process. Some overseas warehouses will introduce various types of insurance、 cargo damage insurance、 loss of parts insurance、 delay insurance、 etc. In case of problems in the warehouse、 these types of insurance will enable the seller to obtain reasonable claims without loss.

3. Scale and hardware facilities

The small American overseas warehouse has its own limitations. For some emergencies that may not be handled well and cause losses to the seller's interests、 it is recommended to choose an American overseas warehouse with complete hardware and software equipment and complete systems.

4. Independent taxation

The protection of tax and law is not only that your process is legal、 but also that of other customers in the overseas warehouse. In a common warehousing system、 only when everyone is legal can it be truly guaranteed.

5. Clear billing method

Not all American overseas positions are reliable. When choosing、 sellers should remember to look for those whose charges and prices are clear and unambiguous.

6. Provide a mature management system

A mature management system includes inventory、 sales order、 inventory and other data reports、 supports barrier free communication between customers、 goods、 overseas warehouses、 and logistics companies、 and provides accurate and timely information.

Cosmetics are sensitive goods and have certain potential safety hazards in air transportation、 so they are generally not allowed to be sent and transported like international express delivery authorities and post offices

Cosmetics should be mailed abroad through a professional international express agent for sensitive goods (TODROPSHIPPING)

Having done commodity filing、 having relevant safe transportation conditions、 and being able to send cosmetics abroad by air through DHL and FedEx channels

Products such as facial mask、 mascara、 mascara growth liquid、 cream、 essential oil、 hyaluronic acid original liquid、 shampoo、 shower gel、 facial cleanser、 nail polish、 toner、 lipstick、 lip gloss、 etc. can be exported and mailed under the original name

1. The market demand of products should be large

This is the basic principle. Long tail products are not suitable for overseas warehouses、 because it will affect the conversion rate and produce life and death inventory. However、 the size of the market is reasonable、 and the seller needs to evaluate according to the capital situation and turnover rate.

2. Focus on the total profit per unit time rather than the profit of a single transaction

In general、 the profit margin of overseas warehouse of most products will be much higher than that of domestic shipment、 which is also the advantage of overseas warehouse.

Is it true that the profits of overseas warehouses are not as good as those of products shipped domestically、 so they must not be overseas warehouses? In fact、 it is not because we also need to comprehensively consider the conversion rate of overseas warehouse、 because products with high conversion rate can also achieve higher total profits through overseas warehouse!

This requires our sellers to look at overseas warehouses from a developmental and overall perspective.

For example、 if the profit margin of a product shipped from China is 20% and that of an overseas warehouse is 10%、 but the conversion rate of an overseas warehouse is 6 times that of a Chinese shipment、 the total profit obtained in the same time period is 3 times that of a Chinese shipment. Therefore、 we should not only look at the profit rate、 but also calculate the overall cost and benefit.
