Once you place an order on AliExpress, you have to ship it, and freight forwarding is an agency for international logistics and express delivery. Many sellers on AliExpress use freight forwarding companies to ship goods. Why don’t they just do it directly? What about the logistics company delivering the goods? Because if you go directly to a logistics company to deliver the goods, you may not get a big discount, but if you go to a freight forwarding company, you may get a discount, and the delivery price will be lower.
Why is the shipping price lower if you find a freight forwarding company? Let’s take China Post Logistics, which we often send, as an example. Simply put, freight forwarding collects parcels from sellers and sends them to China Post for delivery. If there are many parcels, there will definitely be a big discount on the freight. For example, China Post gives a 30% discount to the freight forwarder. If we find the freight forwarder to deliver the goods, we may get a 20% discount. If we directly find the China Post to deliver the goods, we may give a full discount. The freight forwarder earns this price difference by collecting a large amount of goods and lowering the freight. Therefore, This is why many people use freight forwarders to ship goods.
