The Latin American e-commerce market is growing at a rate of 25% to 30% per year, and all sectors including retail, tourism and virtual digital products are leaders in cross-border e-commerce. With the increase in per capita disposable income in Latin America and the popularization of technology, Latin American consumers are more willing to participate in the global consumer market. As a leader in the Latin American market, Mercado Libre has become the preferred platform for most Chinese sellers to enter the Latin American market. In this process, the choice of logistics method is crucial. Let’s take a look at which logistics methods can help you open up the Latin American market better and faster.
1. Mexico Overseas Warehouse Mercado Envios Full Warehouse.
Mercado Envios Full Warehouse is a comprehensive service launched by Mercado Libre’s Mexican site. Through this service, sellers can directly store, keep and make last-mile delivery. The most significant advantage of this service is that it has a shorter delivery time, a better customer experience, and effectively increases sellers’ sales. Before using it, sellers need to pay attention to the platform’s requirements for product weight and packaging, and ensure that a single product does not exceed 30 kilograms and the size does not exceed 60 cm. In addition, for the final delivery fee, sellers can refer to the price list on the official website.
2. Official logistics partners for self-delivery.
In order to reduce the time cost of sellers to select logistics providers, the platform has recommended official logistics partners for all self-delivery sites. After receiving the order, the seller needs to ship the package to the corresponding logistics provider’s warehouse in a timely manner. At present, the official logistics partners for self-delivery in Mexico are US Post (online logistics) and Weishi Logistics (offline logistics), while the official logistics partner for self-delivery in Brazil is Sinostar. In addition, Chilean self-delivery can choose US Post as an online logistics partner.
Sellers can print the waybill directly in the platform background through online logistics partners, which is convenient and fast. The prices provided by the platform can also be directly referenced, and the order number can be uploaded through the logistics partner within 3 working days. This method is easy to operate and allows sellers to track logistics more conveniently.
3. The importance of order processing time.
Order processing time is one of the key dimensions for assessing the reputation of sellers’ stores. Specifically, it refers to the actual operation time used by sellers from obtaining orders to delivering the order package to the carrier logistics provider and uploading the logistics order number. According to platform policy, sellers need to complete this process within 3 local working days. Exceeding the time limit may have an adverse impact on the store’s reputation.
With the continuous rise of the Latin American market, choosing the right logistics method will directly affect the seller’s performance in this market. By understanding and flexibly using different logistics methods, sellers can better meet the needs of Latin American consumers, improve sales performance, and achieve success in this vibrant market.
