1. Express delivery channels
There are four major express delivery channels: DHL, TNT, FedEx and UPS. Their speed and service are impeccable, but the price is also high, which is difficult for ordinary merchants to afford. They have built their own global network and provide localized logistics services around the world. They can ship goods to most countries and regions in the world, and real-time logistics tracking information can be obtained on the official website. The four major express delivery channels have their own advantages in various fields and regions. DHL is in Europe, TNT is in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, UPS is in North America, and FedEx is in Southeast Asia. In their respective advantageous regions, delivery can be basically completed within 2 to 4 working days.
In addition, express delivery channels have certain requirements and restrictions on the products themselves. Products with electricity, counterfeit brands, and special categories are basically unable to be delivered. They are suitable for goods with high value, timeliness requirements of customers, and more than 2 kilograms.
2. Dedicated line logistics
The mode of cross-border dedicated line logistics is usually to concentrate large quantities of goods to the destination, reduce costs through economies of scale, and is an independent channel for express delivery companies in a certain country or region, such as the Middle East, the United States, and Russia. The price is lower than commercial express, but the timeliness is also worse. Currently, the more famous ones include Yanwen Logistics, Sinotrans Amex, etc. The packages can be tracked and charged according to the specific route. Generally, it can arrive in 4 to 7 working days.
Postal logistics, express channels and dedicated logistics have different focuses, and the differences in price, stability, timeliness, etc. are very large. The specific choice depends on the customer groups, regions, cargo weight and value, cargo volume, product profits, etc. that Amazon China sellers target.
