In the past, sellers needed to rent warehouses, hire packers, buy systems, and find logistics, a series of processes that consumed both energy and money. Nowadays, e-commerce cloud warehouses integrate warehousing, orders, packaging, and shipping in a more efficient way, with on-demand billing and transparency, truly allowing sellers to understand where every penny goes.
So, what are the components of the cost of cross-border cloud warehouses? Which expenses are essential and which can be flexibly controlled according to demand? Taking Taijia Cloud Warehouse as an example, let's take a look at the real charging structure together.
1, Storage processing: Free listing, no hidden fees charged
For sellers, the warehousing process is the first contact with the warehouse. Traditional warehouses often charge a certain processing fee for unloading, shelving, and partitioning, while cloud warehouse service providers are more friendly - warehousing processing and shelving are completely free.
After receiving the goods, the warehouse will immediately conduct inventory, differentiation, and shelving operations, and allocate them to suitable areas based on product characteristics, without charging by piece.
This means that regardless of whether the seller stores the products in bulk or tests them in small batches, there will be no additional costs due to frequent warehousing, truly achieving the goal of allowing sellers to operate in light warehouses.
2,Storage fee: 60 days free, flexible and cost-effective
In the warehousing process, many sellers are most concerned about how long they will be charged after being stored in the warehouse. For example, cross-border cloud warehouse service providers have launched a 60 day free warehousing policy for this purpose.
There is no need to pay any warehouse rental fees for the first two months after the goods are stored, allowing the seller sufficient time for inventory adjustment and sales.
If the goods have not been shipped out for more than 60 days, they will be charged based on the actual occupied area and the number of overdue days, and the rate will be relatively favorable, without any tiered price increase.
For small and medium-sized cross-border merchants, this warehousing method is very friendly, which not only avoids the cost burden caused by inventory backlog, but also allows for flexible response to changes in sales pace.
3, System usage: Free integration with WMS order management system
In today's cross-border business, the importance of systems is no less than that of warehousing itself. The WMS warehouse order management system provided by TakeSend not only enables multi platform integration (including Amazon, eBay, Shopee, AliExpress, etc.), but also supports one click API shipping.
The system itself is free to use, with no authorization fees or interface fees. Through the WMS system, sellers can view inventory, orders, shipping status in real-time, and even automatically match logistics channels, saving labor costs while improving operational efficiency.
4,Outbound processing: Transparent billing standard starting from 1 yuan
In terms of cost transparency, Taijia Cloud Warehouse has also achieved clarity and clarity.
The outbound processing fee (i.e. order processing fee) is charged on a per piece basis:
Single order: 1 yuan/piece.
Combination order: 1 yuan for the first item, 0.3 yuan for each subsequent item (1 0.3 for the same SKU, 1 1 for different SKUs).
This mode ensures operational flexibility and allows sellers to have a clear understanding of costs when handling multiple SKU orders. Compared to the variable expenses of manual operations or outsourced packaging teams, this standardized billing model is more convenient for cost accounting and makes overall expenses more stable.
5,Packaging materials: Free choice, controllable cost
Many sellers are concerned about the cost of packaging materials when shipping. There are generally two options available: if the seller provides their own packaging materials, it is completely free.
If provided by the cloud warehouse, settlement will be based on the actual market price, transparent and open, and there will be no implicit charges.
In addition, the warehouse also provides personalized packaging services, supporting brand customization of outer boxes, gift cards, logo stickers, etc., to upgrade brand image and shipping experience simultaneously.
Whether the cost of cloud warehouse outsourcing is expensive or not depends on the service value
After understanding the various fees, sellers often find that the true determinant of whether they are expensive or not is not the individual price, but the overall cost-effectiveness.
Instead of focusing on managing multiple suppliers, it's better to choose a one-stop cloud warehouse service that offers free storage, free warehousing, and low-priced outbound. Clear charging structure, standardized operating procedures, and complete system functions are the true way for sellers to save money and worry in the true sense of transparency, flexibility, and efficiency.
