The cross-border logistics market this year can be said to be very bad, and the business is very difficult to do. The profit of obtained is also small. However, recently I received feedback from customers that our price is high. He encountered a shipping fee of only 3-4 yuan/kg, which made us fall into deep thought. After continuous thinking and calculation, this price always loses money. After understanding and discussion with friends, the truth behind this price is like this...
1. Slowly upload
Such low-priced logistics service providers, which are generally 60% lower than normal efficiency! This directly affects the speed of launch. A seller reported that he had ordered the goods sent to the ont8 warehouse before, but after halfway through the shelves, there was no news of it being put on the shelves, and there is still no news of it being put on the shelves to this day.
It was learned that its logistics service provider uses Amazon self-pickup trucks, and the cost of Amazon self-pickup is also very cheap, which is one of the reasons why there is such a price of sea freight. However, Amazon's self-pickup will likely pile up goods in one place. The bad thing is that it requires workers to have time to complete the unloading action. The processing time will be long, which directly leads to the slow speed of goods being put on the shelves.
2. Spoiling warehouses
Some logistics service providers will directly stuff goods from the Eastern and American and Chinese into the same warehouse, resulting in some warehouses being maliciously breached. In this case, not only can the goods be put on the shelves in time, but also the loss of goods is also a common occurrence. Amazon discovered that doing this for a long time will lead to Amazon sellers being directly blocked!
Cross-border logistics seems simple, but in fact there are many links, and once there are problems in any link, it will directly affect the smooth progress of all subsequent links. There are endless logistics companies on the market that praise themselves for taking any order. Those high-priced service providers may not be good, while low-priced service providers need to observe them themselves. In essence, there is a cooperative relationship between logistics service providers and sellers. Only when sellers and service providers understand, trust and achieve each other can they go further! Only by making each other's industries develop better!
