Overseas warehouses and fulfillment are of great significance to cross-border e-commerce. Overseas warehousing is to transport goods overseas for centralized storage、 which greatly reduces the transport cost of goods and increases the security of goods transport. To do cross-border e-commerce、 you need to first transport the goods to a foreign warehouse. If it is an overseas warehouse、 it is your own local warehouse. This warehouse can be rented or purchased by yourself. The initial investment for overseas warehouse is relatively large、 but once it is built、 there will be no storage and other costs.

According to the peak seasons in previous years、 the effect of using overseas warehouses is obvious. To make a difference in the peak season、 it is necessary to have sufficient stock、 stock time and stock volume. From May to July、 experienced sellers start to stock up and prepare to ship overseas warehouses. When they arrive at the warehouse from August to September、 they will be just in time for the start of the peak season Wave by wave until next March.

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.

Cross border special line small parcels are generally the logistics method used by e-commerce self delivery sellers. They are cheaper than international express delivery、 and faster and safer than postal parcels. However、 there are also differences in the service of special line packets. For example、 cross-border packets in TODROPSHIPPING also have registered mail and peace mail. Generally speaking、 the time limit of special line registered mail is a little faster than that of ordinary mail. At the same time、 registered mail can track packages、 while ordinary mail does not provide tracking service because its price is cheaper. Therefore、 not all cross-border special line logistics can be tracked、 depending on the service you choose.

UPS and FedEx are both dedicated lines、 and USPS、 but non American express companies such as TNT、 DPEX、 DHL、 etc. have dedicated lines in the United States. If you want to speed up、 you can take the air line、 FBA、 etc.
