Shopee sellers all know that if they want to run a good store, the store’s logistics level must not be hindered. However, different sellers will have different logistics cost calculation plans because of the different categories of goods sold in the store. In this case , how sellers carry out logistics operations and product selection has become one of the issues that sellers cannot ignore in store operations. So, let’s learn about shopee logistics operations and selection!
If sellers want to do a good job in shopee logistics operations, they first need to fully understand the platform’s logistics channels. The shopee platform’s logistics atmosphere builds its own logistics and third-party logistics models. Compared with third-party logistics, the timeliness of this logistics will be more advantageous. Usually, products can be delivered to buyers within 5 to 15 days. Since the platform’s self-built logistics is divided into two transportation stages, the first leg and the last leg, sellers only need to ensure that the products are safely and correctly delivered to the platform for transit when using self-built logistics. Warehouse is enough. Relatively speaking, the transportation cost of the platform’s self-built logistics is lower, but the platform’s self-built logistics (SLS) has many restrictions on transportation categories. Communication devices such as mobile phones and tablets cannot use the platform’s self-built logistics for distribution.
Compared with the platform’s self-built logistics, shopee’s logistics operations have a higher degree of freedom in the third-party platform’s designated logistics provider model. Sellers have more possibilities to modify their store’s logistics plan. However, in addition to the first two free deliveries, if you use third-party logistics designated by the platform for delivery, additional transportation costs will be incurred. Therefore, for sellers selling cost-effective products, it will be difficult to guarantee their own profits by using third-party logistics channels.
The third logistics model is for sellers to lease overseas warehouses through overseas sites. The seller negotiates and cooperates with the logistics company on the local site to achieve delivery. The overseas warehouse model is undoubtedly very effective in improving logistics timeliness. However, due to the high initial investment cost of the overseas warehouse model, the management consumption of human and financial resources is also relatively large. Therefore, the overseas warehouse model is not friendly enough for novice sellers. Sellers need to choose whether to use the overseas warehouse model as a logistics solution based on their cost budget.
The above introduces the knowledge related to shopee logistics operation and selection. Only by setting up logistics information can sellers make better choices and avoid losing profits in the express delivery process. Although there are currently huge challenges in this industry There is room for development, but what is certain is that not everyone who does it will be rewarded. You must always be prepared to fail, learn with a full attitude, and explore to gain something.
