Ozon platform does not have strict requirements on the logistics of sellers’ shipments. You can choose to ship directly from China or through overseas warehouses. The important thing is to ensure that the products are delivered to buyers in a timely manner. This article will introduce two options for Ozon platform logistics: self-delivery and overseas warehouse delivery, and compare and analyze them.
1. Self-delivery.
For many cross-border sellers, it is not easy to sell products to Russia due to the logistics problems in Russia. However, the Ozon platform provides a cross-border e-commerce incentive program, allowing sellers to ship goods directly to Russian buyers and receive payments in US dollars or euros.
Ozon requires sellers to find logistics companies on their own. Currently, it supports logistics company inquiries on the aftership website. Among them, the largest logistics company in Russia is CDEK. The preparation period is about 5 days, and it takes 9 days for the goods to be delivered to the agent warehouse in Russia, 8-10 days for air transportation, and 19-25 days for land transportation.
Sellers can choose the world parcel method. After placing an order, contact the corresponding world logistics company and mail the products to their collection points in China. At present, large global logistics companies such as Yanwen and Yuntu on the market can also accept this method.
2. Overseas warehouse delivery.
For overseas warehouse delivery, sellers also need to find cooperative overseas warehouse service providers. Once a buyer places an order, the seller will deliver the goods to the overseas warehouse, and then the overseas warehouse will directly deliver them to the buyer. Relatively speaking, overseas warehouse delivery is faster. However, it is necessary to avoid the backlog of goods, so it is necessary to do a good job of inventory control and find a reliable Russian overseas warehouse partner.
After comprehensive consideration, sellers can choose the appropriate logistics method according to their own situation and needs. Self-delivery is suitable for sellers who want to sell directly to Russian buyers, while overseas warehouse delivery is suitable for sellers who pursue timeliness and convenience. Reasonable selection of logistics methods will help improve sales efficiency and bring more opportunities for the business development of the Ozon platform.
As a rising star in Russia’s cross-border e-commerce platform, Ozon has brought new development opportunities for Chinese sellers. Through the Ozon platform, sellers can choose two logistics methods: self-delivery or overseas warehouse delivery, and flexibly choose the method that suits their business needs, which provides more convenience for the timely delivery of goods to buyers. With the continued development of Ozon and favorable policies, Russia’s cross-border e-commerce business will usher in a faster development. For sellers who want to expand into the Russian market, Ozon is an important channel that cannot be ignored.
