At this stage, there are many domestic merchants who choose to open stores on the AliExpress platform. It is not an easy task to run AliExpress stores well and achieve results. To build a successful AliExpress store, merchants should choose logistics methods in advance. Only economical and fast logistics can satisfy buyers. Sea shipping is a good way.

AliExpress can ship goods by sea. It can be shipped through the AliExpress shipping warehouse. The goods will be transported by sea to the country where the buyer is located, and then delivered. If the goods are in small packages, the timeliness is relatively slow, and shipping by sea is not suitable. The AliExpress platform also recommends merchants to use overseas warehouse services. This method can bring a better consumption experience to consumers.
Under normal circumstances, AliExpress’s logistics model supports two modes and four types of logistics. The two modes are domestic and international parcel direct mail and local delivery to the county’s overseas warehouse delivery mode. The four types of logistics mean that logistics is divided into four types in terms of timeliness and comprehensiveness of services. These four types are economic, standard, express and seller-customized.
Each of these four types has its own characteristics. In terms of freight, the economic type is more affordable. In terms of timeliness, the express type is stronger and faster. Merchants can choose their own logistics methods.
At the same time, merchants should also pay attention to the fact that economic categories do not have logistics tracking information abroad, and there are no consumer signature records, so the merchant cannot check whether the express delivery has signed for it after delivery. In addition, both the fast and standard classes have full tracking information.

This model is relatively faster and more economical. , but AliExpress has various logistics methods. The above just gives some brief introductions to merchants. Merchants can choose the appropriate logistics method according to the characteristics of the goods to save transportation costs as much as possible.
