There are three most common and troublesome logistics pain points in the cross-border logistics industry. 90% of sellers have encountered them. The three major logistics problems will backfire on sellers’ profits. When choosing products, sellers will roughly calculate the profit margin of the products to confirm whether the products are worth developing. Gross profit = revenue – platform commission – procurement cost – logistics cost – warehousing cost – return cost – exchange loss.
1. Opaque logistics quotation
The quotation before delivery is always different from the actual logistics checkout fee. In the final logistics bill, there are often inexplicable additional fees. This behavior of logistics companies really makes many sellers hate it. Sellers work hard to choose products, place advertisements, and spend manpower to operate, and finally find themselves working for logistics companies.
2. Timeliness issues
Most of the sellers’ money is in inventory, and timeliness is a lever that affects inventory.
3. No way to claim
The cross-border e-commerce logistics chain is long, and it is inevitable that the goods will be damaged or even lost. How to apply for compensation? How long does it take to claim?
The claim promises eventually turned into the same empty checks. When the claim was actually initiated, it was found that the operating threshold was extremely high. The purchase contract, purchase invoice, payment slip… were also indispensable. Even if they can be fully provided, the claim payment will be endless. In the end, the seller gave up and parted ways.
Faced with the three major problems, how can sellers break through?
To solve the logistics pain points, you must find a reliable cross-border e-commerce logistics company. Pay attention to the following points:
1. All logistics providers who quote a fixed price PASS;
2. Logistics providers have online systems that can check prices and track trajectories online;
3. Logistics providers at important nodes are self-operated, rather than outsourced cooperation channels;
4. A contract must be signed, and the contract should have a detailed claim plan, claim amount judgment and claim cycle.
