In the daily operation of cross-border e-commerce, many sellers encounter situations where an order contains multiple different products, sometimes even from different suppliers.
For warehouses accustomed to the single item order model, the packaging, labeling, and shipping of multiple SKU orders are often the most prone to errors.
If sellers who use third-party cloud warehouses for shipping are more concerned about a core issue - can multiple products be combined and packaged for shipment? How to control costs and ensure accurate delivery without affecting timeliness?
1, Why do multiple SKU orders require special handling
Unlike a single product, multi SKU orders involve multiple outbound processes. Products of different specifications, weights, and packaging methods need to be matched and verified in the system to avoid issues such as mixed orders, incorrect orders, or weight discrepancies.
If the warehouse lacks systematic management, it is possible for the same order to be split into multiple packages for shipment, which not only increases shipping costs but also makes it easy for buyers to complain about splitting orders for shipping.
Some professional Shenzhen cloud warehouse delivery service providers are equipped with a complete order management system, which automatically merges orders and generates picking lists through SKU recognition, and then formulates corresponding packaging plans based on product attributes to ensure that each package is both safe and meets platform requirements.
2, In cloud warehouse systems, the packaging of multiple products usually follows the following steps:
1. System recognition: After the order enters the system, it will automatically determine whether multiple SKUs of the same buyer can be combined for shipment.
2. Picking zone: Warehouse personnel go to different shelves to pick up goods based on the picking list, and the system records the outbound status of each SKU.
3. Merge packaging: The system automatically recommends suitable carton sizes based on product volume, weight, and material, and generates packaging labels.
4. Weighing verification: Weigh after packaging to ensure consistency with the system weight.
5. Label shipping: Print the logistics label and hand it over to express delivery or international dedicated line for delivery.
The entire process is monitored in real-time by the system, which can trace the information of each link and minimize human errors to the greatest extent possible.
3, The advantages of Shenzhen Cloud Warehouse dropshipping service
