Lazada, as a well-known cross-border e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, has been favored by users in recent years. The platform has a very large flow of traffic, and the number of sellers who have settled in and opened stores is also increasing. If novice sellers want to settle in Lazada, they need to have a sufficient understanding of the platform. Today we will talk about where Lazada’s overseas warehouses are and how to ship to overseas warehouses?
Lazada’s overseas warehouses have local warehouses in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, allowing merchants to transport goods more conveniently. Merchants can directly apply for the use of overseas warehouses through Lazada’s backend without paying storage fees. Once the merchant transports the goods to Lazada’s overseas warehouse, Malaysian buyers can place orders in the store, and the goods will be shipped directly from the overseas warehouse. This can not only speed up the transportation time, but also reduce logistics costs.
The operation of overseas warehouses is generally divided into the following three steps:
1. Ship the goods to Lazada’s domestic warehouse.
Sellers need to activate the Lazada Global Shipping (LGS) service and contact customer service by email to activate it.
Sellers must deliver the goods to Lazada warehouses in China in advance, including Shenzhen, Yiwu, Quanzhou and Hong Kong.
Sellers need to contact express or logistics companies to transport the goods to any of the above warehouses.
2. Lazada consolidates the goods to foreign countries.
After receiving the seller’s goods, Lazada will classify the products and arrange international freight, and consolidate the goods to Lazada’s overseas warehouses in various countries.
In the destination country, local customs brokers and third-party logistics companies (3PL) are responsible for delivery, and deliver the goods to important city stations through local sorting centers.
3. Delivery to buyers.
After the goods arrive at the destination, Lazada will deliver the goods to the buyer through its own logistics or third-party logistics companies. Most sellers choose to use official logistics for delivery.
If third-party logistics (3PL) is used, the goods need to go through complex processes such as customs declaration and sorting and delivery.
After the buyer receives the goods, there is no need to confirm receipt. As long as the logistics shows that the goods have been delivered, the seller can receive the payment.
The main reasons why Lazada can become a well-known cross-border e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia are as follows:
1. A wide range of product selection.
Lazada can provide a rich selection of products covering various categories and brands to meet the needs of consumers.
2. Efficient logistics network.
Establishing a strong and efficient logistics network is the key to success. Lazada works with logistics partners in various places to ensure that orders can be delivered to consumers in a timely and accurate manner.
3. Safe payment methods.
Lazada provides a variety of safe and reliable payment methods to increase users’ trust and protect the security of users’ payment information.
With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the cross-border e-commerce industry has become a new industry at present, and more and more people are entering this industry. As a novice seller who wants to retain users, you must first have a sufficient understanding of the platform, and select products according to the characteristics of the site, and improve the core competitiveness of your own products, so that you can develop in this industry for a long time.
