How do AliExpress sellers choose the appropriate logistics method and check the shipping source
In the global e-commerce field, AliExpress has attracted many sellers to join with its extensive user base and efficient transaction model. However, to stand out in this highly competitive market, in addition to providing quality products, choosing the right logistics method is also crucial. This article will introduce in detail how AliExpress sellers choose the appropriate logistics method and how to check the shipping source.
Selection of shipping method
AliExpress provides sellers with two delivery methods, online and offline. For novice sellers, online delivery is a good choice, because this method provides logistics services by the platform, and the seller only needs to fill in the relevant information as required by the platform to complete the delivery. For sellers with certain experience and resources, offline delivery may be more economical, although it requires sellers to contact the logistics company themselves.
Choose logistics methods based on product value
Economic small package
For products with lower unit prices, you can choose economical small packages, such as Rookie Super Economy. Although this type of logistics method is slow in timeliness and cannot query logistics information, its cost is relatively low and it is suitable for low-value goods.
Standard logistics
For products with higher unit prices, you should choose standard logistics, such as China Post registered small parcel. This type of logistics method has high efficiency and low packet loss rate, but it requires registration and the cost is relatively high.
Fast logistics
For goods of very high value, you can choose fast logistics, such as EMS. This logistics method is not only highly time-efficient, but also has high-quality service, but it is relatively expensive.
Check the source of shipment
The AliExpress platform provides sellers with a convenient shipping source query function. Sellers only need to fill in the waybill number in the platform system, and the platform will automatically query relevant logistics information. Both buyers and sellers can view this information on the order details page. In addition, the platform also provides relevant official website addresses for buyers and sellers to check AliExpress online shipping and logistics information, ensuring that sellers can understand the transportation status of goods in real time.
Selection of warehouse type
Choosing the right warehouse type is also the key to improving logistics efficiency. The official warehouse is a logistics service jointly launched by AliExpress and Cainiao Network. It has the advantages of fast transportation and guaranteed service. For certified warehouses, sellers need to send the goods to the certified warehouse first, and then the warehouse will manage and deliver the goods. This method can improve the competitiveness of goods, but may increase certain logistics costs. Third-party overseas warehouses are managed by sellers in cooperation with other warehouses. Sellers need to promise delivery time to overseas buyers to enhance competitiveness.
International logistics types
International logistics types include postal logistics, international commercial express delivery, dedicated line logistics, AliExpress worry-free logistics, overseas warehouse logistics, etc. Postal logistics mainly includes China Post large parcels, China Post small parcels, etc.; international commercial express delivery generally refers to commercial express delivery giants such as DHL, FedEx and UPS; special line logistics includes Suyoubao, China-Russia Airlines, Middle East Special Line and Yanwen Airlines Special Line.
AliExpress worry-free logistics
AliExpress Worry-Free Logistics is launched by AliExpress and Cainiao Post to provide sellers with one-stop solutions including collection, delivery, logistics details and logistics dispute resolution [[2]]. AliExpress worry-free logistics has the advantages of stable channels, fast delivery, favorable prices, simple logistics template setting and operation, and the platform is responsible for logistics disputes and compensation losses.
Surface express delivery options
For sellers who open a store on the AliExpress platform, if they want to use surface mail for delivery, they can choose international small package and surface mail international large package. International small parcel surface mail means that packages weighing less than 2 kilograms are sent abroad by plane and flight. Usually there are only China Post small parcel and Hong Kong small parcel surface mail. International large parcel postage refers to the transportation method for parcels weighing more than 2 kilograms and not exceeding 1.5m in length to be sent abroad.
Conclusion
In the global e-commerce competition, AliExpress sellers need to pay attention to the choice of shipping sources and logistics methods. By rationally selecting shipping methods, selecting appropriate logistics methods based on product value, querying shipping sources in real time, and selecting appropriate warehouse types, sellers can ensure that goods can be delivered to buyers safely and quickly, thereby improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
