Mercado Libre platform provides sellers with convenient overseas warehouse services, and storage fees are a key factor that sellers need to pay attention to when using this service. This article will deeply analyze the regular storage fees and long-term storage fees of Mercado Libre overseas warehouses to help sellers better understand the billing mechanism, optimize inventory management, and reduce operating costs.
1. Calculation method of regular storage fees.
Billing by piece and day: Regular storage fees are charged according to the average daily occupied volume of the space occupied by inventory goods in the platform operation center. The volume is based on the size measurement of the goods that have been properly packaged and are ready to be shipped.
Charging standard: Regular storage fees are divided into three parts according to the volume of the goods, namely small, medium and large. A list of payable fees will be generated at the end of each month, and sellers need to pay the corresponding regular storage fees based on the volume and storage time of the inventory goods.
2. The mechanism of long-term storage fees.
Storage time exceeds 60 days: In order to better utilize the storage space of the operation center, monthly long-term storage fees will be incurred for products that have been in storage for more than 60 days.
Billing method: The calculation of long-term storage fees is based on the packaging size and storage time of the goods. The platform will review which products in the seller’s inventory have not been sold before the end of the settlement cycle, and then calculate the long-term storage fee based on the packaging size and storage time of each item.
Fee superposition: For products that have been stored in overseas warehouses for more than 60 days, sellers need to pay both the regular storage fee calculated on a daily basis and the long-term storage fee calculated on a monthly basis. This fee superposition mechanism is designed to encourage sellers to manage inventory more efficiently and avoid excessive detention.
By gaining an in-depth understanding of the storage fee system of the overseas warehouses of the Meikeduo platform, sellers can better plan inventory management strategies, avoid the generation of additional costs, improve storage efficiency, and bring greater flexibility and sustainability to operations.
