On the eBay platform, logistics freight is an issue that both sellers and buyers need to pay attention to. Different transportation methods also have different price standards. This article will introduce the logistics freight charging standards of the eBay platform, focusing on economic logistics, express logistics and dedicated line logistics.
1. Economic logistics.
Economic logistics is a cheaper mode of transportation, suitable for the transportation of lightweight and low-value goods. Common economic logistics include surface mail, registered mail, E-mail, etc.
1. Surface mail.
Surface mail is an economical transportation method suitable for the transportation of lightweight goods. The price is cheap, but the transportation time is long. It usually takes 2-4 weeks to reach the destination. The calculation method of ordinary postal freight is based on the weight of the goods and the country or region to which they are mailed. The freight is relatively low and is suitable for the transportation of light-weight, small-volume, and low-value goods.
2. Registered mail.
Registered mail is a mailing method that adds registered service on the basis of surface mail. The price is slightly higher than that of surface mail, but it can provide a certain degree of security. Shipping time also usually takes around 2-4 weeks.
3.E Postal Treasure.
E-mail is a relatively fast economic logistics service launched by China Post. The price is relatively low and the transportation speed is relatively fast. It usually takes 1-3 weeks to reach the destination. The shipping cost of E-mail is also calculated based on the weight of the product and the country or region to which it is mailed.
2. Express logistics.
Express delivery logistics is a relatively high-priced but fast and good-service logistics method, suitable for transporting valuables or goods that need to arrive quickly. Common express logistics include DHL, UPS, FedEx, etc.
The price calculation method for express logistics is usually based on factors such as the weight, volume and destination of the goods. When choosing express logistics, sellers can choose a suitable express transportation method based on comprehensive factors such as the value, weight, and demand of the goods.
3. Special line logistics.
Special line logistics is a logistics method between economic logistics and express logistics. Its price and timeliness are relatively balanced. Compared with economic logistics, it is faster, and compared with international express logistics, its price is more economical and affordable. Therefore, for products that have average timeliness requirements but hope that the shipping fee will not be too high, using dedicated line logistics may be a good choice.
In general, the eBay platform’s logistics freight charges are mainly affected by factors such as logistics methods, package weight, and destination. When choosing a logistics method, sellers should comprehensively consider factors such as the timeliness, safety, and freight costs of the goods, choose the logistics method that best suits them, and provide high-quality logistics services. When purchasing goods, buyers should also consider the price, shipping cost, timeliness and other factors of the goods, and choose the most suitable purchasing method for them.
