AliExpress Logistics Method Analysis and Selection Guide
As one of the world’s largest cross-border e-commerce platforms, AliExpress provides a variety of logistics methods for sellers to choose from. Different logistics methods have their own advantages and applicable scenarios. The following are several common AliExpress logistics methods and their characteristics.
Economic small package
Economic small package refers to an economical and affordable logistics method, suitable for small items. Although the transportation time is relatively long, the freight is more favorable. There is usually no registration fee, the cost is relatively low, and the packet loss rate is relatively high. It is very suitable for products with low value and the unit price per customer is less than 5 US dollars, such as China Post Express Small package +, Cainiao super economy, Cainiao special goods line, etc.
Standard level logistics
Standard-level logistics is mainly aimed at goods with high passenger and cargo prices, which are highly time-sensitive, require registration, relatively high fees, and low packet loss rate. At present, the platform stipulates that products with a unit price of more than 5 US dollars must be registered, such as E-mail, China Post registered small parcel, Yanwen Airlines registered small parcel, AliExpess worry-free logistics-standard, China-Russia Airlines Ruston, etc.
Express logistics
Express logistics is characterized by fast timeliness and good logistics service experience, but the price is relatively expensive. It is suitable for products with higher value, such as EMS, FedexIE, Sino-Russian Express-SPSR, DHL, AliExpress worry-free logistics-priority, etc.
Special line logistics
AliExpress also cooperates with some dedicated logistics companies, such as ePacket, AliExpress Standard Shipping, etc. These dedicated logistics lines offer relatively fast shipping times and better tracking services.
Supplier’s own logistics
Some suppliers may have their own logistics channels, and they can deliver goods through their own logistics or through cooperation with third-party logistics companies. Such logistics methods may differ in terms of price, transit time and service quality.
Delivery from overseas warehouse
Shipping from overseas warehouses is an important part of cross-border e-commerce business. AliExpress provides overseas warehouse delivery services, allowing sellers to store goods closer to consumers for faster delivery.
Consideration factors when choosing logistics methods
When choosing a logistics method, you need to consider the following factors: product characteristics (weight, volume, value, etc.), buyer region (international transportation time and cost), budget, timeliness (delivery time requirements), and Transportation tracking (can you know the status of your goods at any time).
To sum up, the various logistics methods provided by AliExpress have their own advantages and disadvantages. Sellers should choose the most suitable logistics method based on product characteristics, buyer needs and their own budget. By rationally choosing logistics methods, you can improve the shopping experience and reduce transportation costs, thereby achieving the success of cross-border e-commerce.
