In the global e-commerce field, AliExpress has attracted many sellers with its broad user base and efficient transaction model. However, for sellers, it is not enough to just put the goods on the shelves. They also need to pay attention to the delivery and logistics of the goods to ensure that the goods can be delivered to the buyers safely and quickly. This article will discuss in detail how AliExpress sellers can check the source of shipment and how to choose the appropriate logistics method.
1. Choice of delivery method
AliExpress provides sellers with two delivery methods: online and offline. For novice sellers entering the e-commerce field, online delivery is a convenient choice. In this method, the platform provides logistics services, and sellers only need to fill in relevant information according to the platform’s requirements to complete the delivery. However, for sellers with certain experience and resources, offline delivery may be more economical. This method requires sellers to contact the logistics company on their own. Although it has higher requirements for sellers, it can save certain logistics costs.
2. Choose the right logistics method according to the value of the product
Choosing the right logistics method is crucial for sellers. For goods with lower unit prices, sellers can choose economical small packages, such as Cainiao Super Economy. Although this type of logistics method has a slow timeliness and cannot query logistics information, it has a relatively low cost and is suitable for low-value goods. For goods with higher unit prices, sellers should choose standard logistics, such as China Post Registered Parcel. This type of logistics method has a high timeliness and a low package loss rate, but it requires registration and has a relatively high cost. For very high-value goods, sellers can choose fast logistics, such as EMS. This logistics method is not only time-efficient, but also has excellent service quality, but the price is relatively expensive.
3. Query of the source of shipment
AliExpress platform provides sellers with a convenient function to query the source of shipment. Sellers only need to fill in the waybill number in the platform system, and the platform will automatically query the relevant logistics information. Buyers and sellers can view this information on the order details page. In addition, the platform also provides relevant official website addresses for buyers and sellers to query AliExpress online shipping logistics information, ensuring that sellers can grasp the transportation status of goods in real time.
4. Selection of warehouse type
For AliExpress sellers, choosing the right warehouse type is also the key to improving logistics efficiency. The official warehouse is a logistics service jointly launched by AliExpress and Cainiao Network, which has the advantages of fast transportation speed and guaranteed service. The certified warehouse requires the seller to first send the goods to the certified warehouse, and then the warehouse will manage and ship the goods. This method can enhance the competitiveness of the goods, but it may increase certain logistics costs. The third-party overseas warehouse is managed by the seller in cooperation with other warehouses. The seller needs to promise the delivery time to overseas buyers to enhance competitiveness.
In the global e-commerce competition, AliExpress sellers need to pay attention to the choice of delivery source and logistics method. By reasonably selecting the delivery method, choosing the appropriate logistics method according to the product value, real-time query of the delivery source, and choosing the appropriate warehouse type, sellers can ensure that the goods can be delivered to buyers safely and quickly, thereby improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
