How to find a suitable cross-border cloud warehouse for cross-border sellers with low order volume?

With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, the requirements for warehousing, logistics, and distribution are also increasing. So some sellers will choose cross-border cloud warehouse services to save warehousing costs, improve cross-border logistics efficiency and quality.

However, for some sellers with relatively low daily order volume, especially novice sellers, it is not easy to find a suitable cloud warehouse.

Because for cloud warehouse service providers, the time cost is the same regardless of the number of customer orders. When negotiating cooperation with clients, it is also necessary to coordinate systems, explore packaging strategies, and coordinate logistics.

For customers with a high volume of orders, the goods are relatively concentrated, and batch operations can be carried out according to the category of goods, such as picking, sorting, packaging, and labeling, resulting in higher shipping efficiency. For customers with low inventory, their orders are usually scattered, and the process of picking and shipping is more complicated. They may need to change packaging schemes according to different order requirements, resulting in lower efficiency and shipping efficiency. Therefore, many cloud warehouses are reluctant to accept customers with low inventory.

So, how can cross-border sellers with low order volumes find suitable cross-border cloud warehouse service providers to cooperate with?

If you can't find a cloud warehouse with suitable conditions and prices at the beginning, don't worry too much! Because some cloud warehouse service providers do not have strict restrictions on order quantity, and some service providers value customer growth more. As long as they can meet their entry threshold and charging standards, cooperation can be reached.

In terms of charging standards, cloud warehouses generally charge storage fees, operation fees, logistics fees, and other value-added service fees. In order to provide customers with better service content and reduce storage pressure, some cloud warehouse service providers will offer relatively favorable service policies during the cooperation period.

For example, Takesendship's warehousing and shipping service allows customers to enjoy 60 days of free warehousing through cooperation, which can save them a considerable amount of warehouse rental fees. In addition, it is also cost-effective in terms of handling fees, with processing fees as low as 1 yuan/piece for inventory reduction and only 0.3 yuan/piece for renewal. When shipping, customers can also choose services such as dropshipping, package splitting, and merging according to their needs, with a service fee of only 0.5 yuan per piece.

Sellers who use cross-border cloud warehouses for warehousing and logistics have multiple advantages.

Choosing a cross-border cloud warehouse for dropshipping, sellers do not need to rent warehouses, buy equipment, or hire employees to manage their warehouses, allowing them to focus more funds and energy on platform operations.

Similarly, there is no need to worry about shipping throughout the entire process. Cloud warehouse service providers have professional logistics teams with extensive experience and high efficiency in cross-border logistics, which can send packages out faster.

In the current trade environment, cloud warehousing is a great warehousing and logistics model for cross-border sellers, which helps them enhance their store competitiveness and accelerate cross-border logistics speed.

TAKESEND recommends sellers with low order volumes. If you don't find a suitable cloud warehouse at the beginning, it's okay. Some cloud warehouses may require tens of thousands of orders per month, but others can handle more than ten orders per day. It still depends on the actual situation of your own store and you need to consult with several service providers. If the store has good growth potential, it can also negotiate with the cloud warehouse from other aspects, such as phased cooperation, which is also a good approach.
