More and more foreign trade sellers are realizing that choosing the appropriate shipping channel can not only reduce transportation costs, but also improve the buyer's receiving experience.
But faced with numerous channel choices in the market, many sellers may wonder which method to choose when using cloud warehouse for the first time to ship? Which channels are more suitable for your product and destination country?
In fact, the delivery channel of cross-border e-commerce cloud warehouse is not a single model, but a comprehensive selection based on multiple factors such as the type of goods, destination country, timeliness requirements and cost budget.
And an excellent cloud warehouse will provide multiple channel matching solutions according to customer needs, truly achieving worry free shipping and optimal cost.
1, International express delivery: fastest speed, suitable for high delivery needs
International express delivery is one of the most common shipping methods for cross-border cloud warehouses, suitable for sellers with high time requirements, such as Amazon FBA replenishment, sample delivery, holiday promotion orders, etc.
The mainstream express delivery channels include DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT, etc., with a wide coverage and strong customs clearance capabilities. Although the price is slightly higher, it still maintains good stability during peak periods and is the preferred choice for mid to high end sellers.
2, International dedicated line: an optimal solution that balances cost and timeliness
For most small and medium-sized sellers, international dedicated lines are a more cost-effective option.
The international air freight dedicated channel integrates aviation and overseas delivery resources by service providers, and generally takes 2-10 days to deliver. The advantages are: lower cost than express delivery, better timeliness than postal services, and the ability to provide tax inclusive customs clearance services.
Common ones include the US line dedicated line, the European line dedicated line, the British line dedicated line, the extra line dedicated line, etc. This type of channel is particularly suitable for sellers who send to mainstream e-commerce platforms in Europe and America, such as Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.
3, International Post: Lowest cost, suitable for light and small items and wide coverage areas
International postal channels include China Post, Hong Kong Post, Dutch Post, Deutsche Post, etc., which are the most widely covered methods in the cross-border cloud warehouse delivery system.
Although the delivery time is relatively slow (usually taking 7-20 days), the shipping cost is extremely affordable and suitable for low unit price, light and small items. In remote markets such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa, international postal services remain an irreplaceable and optimal economic choice.
4, International sea freight: the preferred choice for bulk shipments to overseas warehouses or FBA warehouses
For large and heavy goods, sea freight is undoubtedly the lowest cost transportation method. In cloud warehouse operations, sellers can choose to consolidate and package their goods and send them to the destination overseas warehouse for secondary sorting and delivery by the local warehouse.
Although the transportation cycle is relatively long (usually over 30 days), it has extremely high economic efficiency in inventory replenishment and seasonal bulk transportation, and is also the basis for ensuring low profit product profits.
5, FBA first mile delivery: the core channel for Amazon sellers
Amazon FBA sellers have a high dependence on end-to-end services, and cloud warehouses are the bridge connecting Chinese factories with overseas FBA warehouses.
Through FBA dedicated lines or a combination of sea and air delivery modes, sellers can achieve fast and safe delivery of goods to designated warehouses. At the same time, the cloud warehouse team will also provide supporting services such as labeling, container loading, and customs clearance to ensure the smooth entry of goods into the warehouse.
