Sellers on shopee mainly deliver goods through some third-party logistics companies that cooperate with SLS and the platform. As a cross-border e-commerce company, shipping costs account for about 30% of sellers’ costs, so sellers are of course more concerned about how shopee’s shipping costs are calculated, such as SLS , as the official logistics of shopee, the price standards of each site are different, but the calculation method is similar. So, below, we will take the Taiwan station as an example to understand how shopee logistics charges.
The Taiwan station shopee logistics freight is mainly calculated based on the first weight of the goods and the additional weight. The first weight is calculated as 0.5 kg, and the additional weight is the same. The specific price depends on whether the goods are general goods or special goods, and whether they are delivered to your door or in a store. For delivery, the charging standards for the above categories are different. For example, in the official logistics SLS, Black Cat Home Delivery is mainly responsible for door-to-door delivery, while store delivery means that after the goods are delivered to the designated convenience store, the buyer can pick up the goods by themselves.
How to calculate the specific shipping cost? For example: the clothes sold by the seller weigh about 1 kilogram and are general goods, so the shipping cost is relatively cheap. If you choose door-to-door delivery, the total shipping cost will be NT$105. If The buyer paid a shipping fee of 60 yuan, and the seller needed to pay the remaining shipping fee of 45 yuan. That is to say, the shipping fee on Shopee is set by the buyer. After the buyer pays, the seller must pay the remaining shipping fee.
Please note that no matter which shipping method the buyer chooses, the shipping fee is fixed. Store delivery should pay NT$60, and home delivery should pay NT$70. The remaining shipping fee is borne by the seller, so , sometimes the seller’s cost of transporting goods is relatively high. Faced with the relatively high cost of transporting goods, how should sellers reduce costs?
Shopee has a saying called “hidden price”, which refers to adding shipping cost to the original price of the product. This is similar to Taobao sellers’ practice of free shipping. Add shipping cost to the product price to obtain greater profit margins.
When choosing SLS logistics, the seller must also pay a domestic shipping fee, which requires the seller to choose a more cost-effective way to reduce the transportation cost of goods based on the product and actual situation, while the third-party logistics transportation cost depends on the logistics How does the company count?
The above introduction is related to how shopee logistics charges. Sellers should know how to increase profits by reducing logistics and transportation costs. Of course, sellers must price their products well and pay attention to the “hidden price” technique. Otherwise, the product price is too high, which will not benefit product orders, and it will be difficult to make money.
