How to choose the best logistics solution for independent shipping to Europe?

In the field of cross-border e-commerce, the rise of independent websites has given sellers greater flexibility, especially when choosing logistics. Especially when shipping to Europe, sellers need to know which logistics solutions are most suitable to ensure safe and timely delivery of goods. The following is a summary of the main logistics options for independent station shipments to Europe and their characteristics.

1. General goods within 2kg – Eyoubao

For general goods within 2kg, E-mail is considered the best choice. The advantages of E-mail are mainly its logistics timeliness, price and customs clearance efficiency. This logistics model usually delivers the goods in about 10 days, and the rates are affordable, making it suitable for most sellers. E-mail is also widely used because of its high customs clearance rate.

2. Sensitive products within 2kg – Dutch Post Small Packet

For sensitive products within 2kg, Dutch Post Small Packet is an ideal choice. The logistics time of Dutch Post small parcels is 7-15 days, and it is also highly reliable for the transportation of sensitive items such as built-in batteries and liquids. With the resources of PostNL, this freight method also performs well in customs clearance and can quickly pass through customs and travel to other countries.

3. Ordinary products above 2kg – dedicated line logistics

For ordinary products over 2kg, using dedicated logistics is a cost-effective option. Taking the British dedicated line as an example, its logistics time is 3-6 days, the cost is 53 yuan/kg + 9 yuan/piece, and it supports a variety of categories including internal electronic products. This logistics method combines the timeliness of express delivery and the economy of transportation, and is suitable for independent sellers.

4. Sensitive products above 2kg – customized express delivery

When dealing with sensitive products above 2kg, sellers should choose targeted dedicated lines or express delivery. Most dedicated logistics can cover items such as built-in batteries and adult products, but some special categories, such as imitation brand goods, need to be handled through international express companies such as DHL and FedEx. Sellers should make appropriate logistics choices based on the specific type of item.

5. Combined use of self-delivery and overseas warehousing

Independent sellers can also choose to combine self-delivery or overseas warehouse when shipping. In the case of self-delivery, the seller can quickly deliver the goods through international express (such as DHL, UPS, etc.), with a delivery time of between 3-10 days. The specific choice should be determined based on the weight of the package. On the other hand, storing goods in overseas warehouses and shipping them randomly can significantly improve logistics efficiency and buyer experience, while only paying relatively low warehousing fees.

Conclusion

To sum up, when independent stations deliver goods to Europe, they can flexibly choose appropriate logistics solutions based on the weight and type of goods. From E-mail to KLM small parcels, to dedicated line logistics and adaptive express delivery, sellers should fully consider their own needs, costs and efficiency when making decisions to achieve the best business results.
