The differences between the four logistics solutions of cross-border independent stations are mainly reflected in the four aspects of cost, efficiency and safety. Therefore, when choosing a logistics solution, it is recommended that you consider the three aspects of profit, brand and user group.
1. Profit analysis: Choose a rigid standard logistics solution
When choosing a logistics solution, the profit dimension is the most important consideration, especially for low-profit commodities. If the choice of logistics method is not smooth, you will lose all your money.
In theory, high-profit commodities can naturally choose logistics solutions such as international express, while low-profit commodities need to choose EMS or postal parcels, but many novice sellers may not have a clear concept of high or low profits. It is better to choose postal parcels or international EMS in the early testing stage, because most independent stations do not have strict regulations on delivery time, and based on the arrival time of EMS about 10 days, most buyers can accept the arrival time, so that sellers can establish awareness of commodity profits, and if there is a need to adjust the logistics plan later, it is also good to have a clear idea.
2. Brand positioning: Try not to set pits for your own logistics timeliness in the early stage
It is recommended that novice sellers try to differentiate themselves from the perspective of selecting products, and do not set pits for themselves in logistics timeliness. If you have established the influence of brand on logistics timeliness, then Mr. Meng recommends that such sellers can consider the mode of shipping + overseas warehouse combined with shipping, and try to choose reliable companies in the selection of dedicated lines. For the distribution method of overseas warehouses, more cost calculations and operation skills are involved.
3. User group: Individual groups have stricter requirements for timeliness
Although independent companies do not have too many strict regulations on the timeliness of logistics, there are exceptions in each market. Japan and Mexico are typical representatives.
For buyers in these markets, if the logistics timeliness cannot be met, it may bring about such influences as bad reviews and return orders. Needless to say, the consequences are self-evident. For postal parcels, the losses caused by return orders are still relatively common, which will cause direct economic losses.
For countries with high requirements for logistics efficiency, novice sellers are advised not to rush to deploy, and experienced sellers should also choose international express, dedicated line or overseas warehouse modes based on the actual profitability of their goods.
