In order to help sellers reduce costs, Lazada has reduced shipping costs in Thailand and Vietnam. International freight rates dropped by the highest 90% at the Thailand station and 96% at the Vietnam station. In Malaysian overseas warehouses, the packaging rate of merchants with corresponding weights has been reduced by 50%. Let’s share with sellers how much is Lazada’s shipping fee in Vietnam?
In order to improve the operational capabilities of new businesses, Lazada has set up a novice incubation camp and launched policies such as operational guidance, traffic support, and online training. New merchants who settle within 90 days can enjoy 12 weeks of free traffic support.
For consumers in Southeast Asia, Lazada said that Thai consumers who place orders through Lazada can enjoy a discount from 25 baht to 20 baht for packages under one kilogram; postage in Vietnam is also low across the board, in some areas dropped by 46%; Malaysia overall dropped by 22%.
In addition, Lazada and Cainiao International have jointly equipped 27 charter flights to help domestic merchants transport nearly 600 tons of packages to Southeast Asia.
How to set the weight?
Many sellers like to fill in the weight at will when setting product information. Some are light in weight. After the product is packaged in the transit warehouse, the weight of the product will be re-measured, and freight and fees will be deducted based on the actual weight. What will be the impact if the product weight is entered incorrectly?
Weight is heavier than actual: the hidden price needs to be increased, resulting in an increase in the overall product price, the price is not competitive, and it is easy to scare away buyers.
Lighter weight than actual: The platform charges according to the actual weight, and the seller needs to pay more freight, making it difficult to calculate the correct cost.
Cross-border logistics freight is the most important part of cross-border e-commerce cost accounting. If the freight cannot be controlled, it is easy to become a platform mover. Therefore, we must carefully understand the platform’s freight calculation method to avoid freight losses.
For international shipping costs, if the packaging volume exceeds three times the actual weight, the shipping cost will be calculated based on volumetric weight. Local shipping costs to the Philippines are calculated by whoever has the higher actual weight and dimensional weight.
The above are the issues related to Vietnam shipping and weight settings shared with sellers. I hope it will be helpful to sellers.
