Offline delivery is relative to online delivery. In addition to online logistics channels, sellers use any other non-online logistics methods to ship orders, which is collectively referred to as offline delivery. Offline delivery is the traditional delivery method of cross-border e-commerce. Sellers directly connect with logistics companies, and cargo operations must comply with the requirements of logistics companies. If there are problems with the shipment, it is more direct to deal with them. There is no need to reprint address labels and customs declarations, etc., and sellers directly settle accounts with logistics companies. Here are some common offline delivery methods.
