To be favored by cross-border e-commerce giants, overseas warehouses must have their own unique advantages. What are their advantages?
1. Reduce logistics costs
The logistics cost of shipping from overseas warehouses, especially from local warehouses, is far lower than that of shipping from China. For example, if DHL is sent from China to the United States, one kilogram of goods will cost 124rmb, and only $5.05 for shipping in the United States. But at the same time, the construction of overseas warehouses also requires a large amount of capital investment, which is also an investment for many enterprises.
2. Speed up logistics timeliness
Shipping from overseas warehouses can save the time for customs clearance, and according to the seller's usual shipping methods (DHL 5-7 days, FedEx 7-10 days, and UPS 10 days or more), if the goods are shipped locally, the customer can receive the goods in 1-3 days, which greatly shortens the transportation time and accelerates the timeliness of the material flow.
3. Improve product exposure
If the platform or store has its own warehouse overseas, local customers will generally give priority to local delivery when choosing to shop, because this can greatly shorten the time of receiving goods for the buyer. The advantages of overseas warehouse can also allow the seller to have its own unique advantages, so as to improve the exposure rate of products and improve the sales volume of the store.
4. Improve customer satisfaction
Because not all the products received can satisfy the customers, there may be damage, short shipment and wrong delivery of goods. At this time, the customers may ask for return, replacement and re delivery, which can be adjusted in the overseas warehouse, greatly saving the timeliness of logistics. To a certain extent, it can not only regain the favor of the buyer, but also save the transportation cost and reduce the loss for the seller.
5. Conducive to market development
Because overseas warehouses can be more recognized by foreign buyers, on the other hand, if sellers pay attention to word-of-mouth marketing, their own products can not only be recognized by buyers locally, but also help sellers accumulate more resources to expand the market and expand the product sales field and scope.
