How is cloud warehouse logistics charged? What does the cloud warehouse service fee include?

When cross-border e-commerce sellers choose cloud warehousing and logistics services, the most concerned issue is probably the cost.

The service fees of cloud warehouses are generally not fixed and the content included is quite complex. So, what are the specific costs of cloud warehouse warehousing and logistics? This article takes Takesendship as an example to provide detailed answers for everyone!

1. Storage fees

This is the basic cost of the cloud warehouse, equivalent to the rent for the seller to store the goods in the cloud warehouse. The cost should be determined based on factors such as the size of the occupied area, the duration of the lease, and storage conditions. However, some cloud warehouse service fees will also provide corresponding reduction policies to save storage costs for sellers. For example, sellers who choose Takesendship can enjoy a 60 day free warehousing discount.

2. Storage processing fee

When the seller transports the goods in bulk to the cloud warehouse, professional operators will handle, inspect, scan, and store the goods in the cloud warehouse for easier management and shipment. So the storage processing fee is equivalent to the manual operation fee. Generally, cloud warehouse service providers will calculate the fee based on the type, quantity, volume, and weight of the goods.

However, Takesendship adopts an advanced WMS management system that can quickly process and store goods, so they are processed for free when the goods are stored in the warehouse.

3. Removal and outbound processing fee

When goods are released or shipped, picking, sorting, security inspection, packaging and other operations need to be carried out according to the order requirements, and this part of the manual operation also requires certain processing costs. The cost standard for Takesendship's outbound operations is as low as 1 person/piece for the first piece, and only 0.3 yuan/piece for subsequent pieces.

4. Logistics and transportation fees

Regardless of whether warehousing services are used, shipping international packages abroad requires payment of logistics fees. The specific logistics fees need to be determined based on channel services, destination, transportation mode, transportation time, distance, and other aspects. Takesendship has first-hand market resources from multiple well-known international courier companies, and can enjoy ultra-low discount prices for shipments.

5. Value added service fee

This mainly includes services such as return and exchange, secondary packaging, etc. These are not fixed fee items, and sellers can choose according to their specific needs.

In summary, although the charging content of cloud warehouses is relatively complex, it is basically transparent and open, and some fee content can be selected according to needs. Takesendship's service team consists of professionals with over five years of experience in warehouse management and logistics operations, providing customers with accurate and comprehensive cloud warehouse logistics solutions.

Finally, it is recommended that when choosing a cloud warehouse service provider for cooperation, sellers should not only consider the cost, but also the service quality and logistics efficiency of the cloud warehouse, as well as whether it meets their own needs. This can help sellers save costs and improve the shopping experience, in order to maximize the advantages of the cloud warehouse!
