For sellers, after engaging in the cross-border e-commerce industry, there will also be some troubling problems. If these problems are not solved, they will affect the profits of the products, resulting in the seller not making enough money. If these problems can be solved, the sales profits of the products will increase, which is good news for sellers. So, what are the shortcomings of export-oriented cross-border e-commerce logistics?
1. High cost.
Sellers on export-oriented cross-border e-commerce platforms need to send products abroad, and sellers need to consider a series of costs such as cross-border express delivery, commodity inspection, and cross-border commodity tariffs. These costs add up to a lot. If The cost of cross-border e-commerce can be reduced, which for sellers will help increase the profit margin of the product.
2. The transportation cycle is long.
Because the cross-border logistics industry chain and environment are relatively long, it mainly includes international transportation, domestic logistics, domestic customs, foreign customs, foreign logistics and other links. These links lead to a relatively long transportation cycle for goods, and the goods arrive at the point of purchase. It has been a long time since the goods arrived in their hands, and some consumers have given up purchasing the goods because of the long transportation time.
3. Logistics informatization.
Many current cross-border logistics adopt the postal parcel model, which results in the inability to update logistics information in real time. In addition, during the transportation of goods, there are problems such as the location and link of the goods, and whether they have entered the cabin. This is what buyers want to know. In addition to purchasing products, many buyers will be more concerned about the delivery of the product. If the logistics information of the product cannot be understood, or there are problems with the product during delivery, such as damage, omissions, etc., it will affect the buyer’s experience.
In addition, some product packaging does not meet the regulations, or buyers do not like the products after they arrive, which will lead to increased logistics costs, which is a big blow to sellers.
The shortcomings of export-oriented cross-border e-commerce logistics are just these. Products will encounter many problems during the delivery process, and the current logistics protection and management concepts are not strong. If problems arise, Sellers must communicate with third-party logistics in a timely manner and deliver products as soon as possible. Sellers must be careful when choosing third-party logistics. It is recommended to choose a logistics provider with a high ranking. The price may be more expensive, but the service quality will be better.
