Cross-border e-commerce logistics includes three logistics models:

1. Cross-border e-commerce logistics ---- international small package

Including China Post Small Packet, Hong Kong Post Small Packet and Singapore Post Small Packet, etc., the feature is long transportation time. International express delivery services include DHL and EMS, etc. Their characteristic is that the cost is relatively high. These two are the most traditional and simplest direct logistics methods. For many enterprises that have not yet reached a large scale, international small packages and express delivery are almost the only logistics options available.

2. Cross-border e-commerce logistics ---- overseas warehouse

It is to rent a warehouse in advance abroad, transport the goods to the warehouse by sea or air first, and then directly ship from the warehouse after receiving the customer's order. It is not easy to achieve this model because although building warehouses overseas will have much lower transportation costs and can also increase the delivery speed, the construction cost and operation cost are very high.

3, CROSS-BORDER E-COMMERCE LOGISTICS ---- AGGREGATE after LARGE-SCALE transportation

There are two types. One is the enterprise's own consolidated transportation. This logistics transportation model is mainly applicable when the B2C platform itself is an export-oriented company. The enterprise purchases goods from domestic suppliers and sells them to foreign buyers through its own B2C platform, earning the profit difference through buying and selling. Another approach is to gather goods through the alliance of foreign trade enterprises. This mainly utilizes the principle of scale advantages and complementary strengths to unite some small foreign trade enterprises with similar goods to form a B2C strategic alliance. Through agreements, a common foreign trade B2C logistics operation center is established. The disadvantage of this type is that it has a long transportation cycle and complex logistics procedures. Moreover, enterprises need to invest a large amount of funds in the early stage. For many small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, this expense is unbearable.

Question 3: What logistics channels are generally used for shipping cross-border e-commerce exports? Different cross-border logistics models have different delivery times and freight charges, and different logistics providers also have different service qualities. Several commonly used cross-border logistics models are: 1. Air freight + delivery dedicated lines 2. International express 3. Postal small packages 4. Overseas warehouses. Especially in recent years, with the policies of the state and the demands of major cross-border e-commerce platforms, the overseas warehouse logistics model has developed rapidly, and cross-border logistics has also ushered in the era of overseas warehouses.

In comparison, the benefits of the overseas warehouse model are even more obvious:

Change the location of the items to easily become an overseas seller and increase product exposure.

2) Raise the pricing level of the items for sale and achieve competitive local sales.

3) Effectively reduce order response time and improve logistics delivery efficiency.

4) Transporting goods in bulk overseas effectively reduces logistics costs.

5) Quick return and exchange processing enhances customer satisfaction.

Question 4: What are the international logistics models for cross-border e-commerce? Currently, there are three logistics models for cross-border B2C e-commerce: international small packages and express delivery, overseas warehousing, and large-scale transportation after aggregation.

International small parcels include China Post Small parcels, Hong Kong Post Small parcels and Singapore Post small parcels, etc. Their characteristic is long transportation time. International express delivery services include DHL and EMS, etc. Their characteristic is that the cost is relatively high. These two are the most traditional and simplest direct logistics methods. For many enterprises that have not yet reached a large scale, international small packages and express delivery are almost the only logistics options available.

Overseas warehousing involves renting a warehouse in advance abroad, transporting goods to the warehouse by sea or air first, and then shipping them directly from the warehouse upon receiving customer orders. It is not easy to achieve this model because although building warehouses overseas will have much lower transportation costs and can also increase the delivery speed, the construction cost and operation cost are very high.

There are two types of large-scale transportation after aggregation. One is the enterprise's own consolidation transportation. This logistics transportation model is mainly applicable to B2C platforms that are foreign trade companies themselves. The enterprise purchases goods from domestic suppliers and sells them to foreign buyers through its own B2C platform, earning the profit difference through buying and selling. Another approach is to gather goods through the alliance of foreign trade enterprises. This mainly utilizes the principle of scale advantages and complementary strengths to unite some small foreign trade enterprises with similar goods to form a B2C strategic alliance. Through agreements, a common foreign trade B2C logistics operation center is established. The disadvantage of this type is that it has a long transportation cycle and complex logistics procedures. Moreover, enterprises need to invest a large amount of funds in the early stage. For many small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, this expense is unbearable.

As the logistics and distribution model not only directly affects the transaction costs of B2C foreign trade enterprises, but also relates to the satisfaction and trust of overseas buyers in foreign trade enterprises, the shopping experience of customers, and further to the sales performance and final profits of sellers, each enterprise should choose the most suitable logistics model based on its own financial strength and the nature of its products.

Question 5: Briefly summarize what are the international logistics models for cross-border e-commerce? Generally, the international logistics models for cross-border e-commerce include the following types:

1. Postal parcel mode

According to incomplete statistics, 70% of the parcels of China's cross-border e-commerce exports are delivered through the postal system, among which China Post accounts for about 50%. Other postal services used by Chinese sellers include Hong Kong Post, Singapore Post, etc.

2. International express delivery model

It refers to the four major commercial express delivery giants, namely DHL, TNT, FEDEX and UPS. Generally, Chinese merchants only use international commercial express delivery to deliver goods when customers have a strong demand for timeliness.

3. Domestic express delivery model

Domestic express delivery mainly refers to EMS, SF Express and the "Four Tong and One Da". Among domestic express delivery, EMS has the most complete international business. Relying on the postal channel, EMS can reach over 60 countries around the world directly. The cost is relatively lower than that of the four major express delivery giants. It has a strong customs clearance capacity within China. It takes 2 to 3 days to reach Asian countries and about 5 to 7 days to reach Europe and America.

4. Dedicated line logistics model

Cross-border dedicated line logistics is generally transported to foreign countries by chartering an air cargo space, and then delivered to the destination country through cooperative companies. The advantage of dedicated line logistics lies in its ability to concentrate large quantities of goods to a specific country or region, reducing costs through economies of scale. Therefore, its price is generally lower than that of commercial express delivery. In terms of delivery time, dedicated line logistics is slightly slower than commercial express delivery, but much faster than postal parcels. The most common dedicated line logistics products on the market are dedicated lines to the United States, Europe, Australia, Russia, etc. Many logistics companies have also launched dedicated lines to the Middle East, South America, South Africa, etc.

5. Overseas warehousing model

Overseas warehousing services refer to one-stop control and management services for sellers to store, sort, package and deliver goods at the sales destination. To be precise, overseas warehousing should consist of three parts: the first leg of transportation, warehouse management and local distribution.

First-leg transportation: Chinese merchants transport goods to overseas warehouses by sea, air, land or combined transport.

Warehouse management: Chinese merchants remotely operate overseas warehouse goods through logistics information systems and manage inventory in real time.

Local delivery: Overseas warehousing centers deliver goods to customers via local postal services or express delivery based on order information.

The above five major models basically cover the current logistics models and characteristics of cross-border e-commerce, but there are also some "unconventional" ones. For instance, although the Belgian Post belongs to the postal parcel model, it positions itself as a high-quality seller and offers products and services that are far superior to those of other postal products.

Question 6: What are the delivery methods for cross-border e-commerce? The logistics methods for cross-border e-commerce are mainly divided into several types: international postal small packages, international express, international dedicated lines, and overseas warehousing and delivery. Under each type, there are many similar services. For example, postal small packages include China Post, Dutch Post, Singapore Small packages, Hong Kong small packages, Turkish small packages, and various other international postal small packages. International express delivery services include DHL, UPS, Fedex, EMS, TNT, etc. There are many services under each type, each with its own areas of expertise and products, suitable for different product and timeliness requirements.

From the perspective of the platform: If it is the Amazon platform, there are two ways: one is MFN self-delivery, and the other is FBA warehousing and logistics. The Amazon platform uses the method of tilting traffic to encourage more sellers to choose FBA services. However, before choosing FBA services, it is still necessary to ensure product sales volume; otherwise, the cost of unsold products will be relatively high, and it will also be very troublesome to return them to China. MFN is most convenient for testing new products and has a lower cost.

If it is other platforms such as ebay, wish, AliExpress, etc., the self-delivery method is used.

Export Easy is a logistics strategic partner recommended by Amazon, ebay, Wish, AliExpress, Alibaba and JD.com, and can solve the logistics and delivery problems of these platforms. The services provided cover all types of international logistics. Self-delivery method (The seller is responsible for shipping the goods to the buyer after the sale)

International small packages: For instance, China Post, EUB, Netherlands Post, Hong Kong Post, Singapore Post, Belgium Post, Malaysia Small packages, and many others. Small packages are suitable for low-value and light items. If you go to the United States, EUB is the cheapest option and its service quality is stable. Postal small packages usually have surface mail and registered mail. Registered mail allows you to check the delivery trajectory, while surface mail makes it impossible to know if it has been delivered properly. The registration service requires an additional registration fee, which is slightly more expensive. The registration fee at China Post is the cheapest. Only 2kg inner packages can be sent. The volume limit is that the longest side should not exceed 60cm and the sum of the three sides should not exceed 90cm.

International Dedicated Line: Export Easy is the first domestic supplier to propose the concept of dedicated lines, covering global mainstream cross-border e-commerce markets such as the European Union and Russia. The features are that the weight limit is relaxed. It is transported abroad by air and then delivered by local logistics. The delivery time is stable, the cost performance is high, and the whole process is tracked in detail. Suitable for high-value packages with high requirements for timeliness.

International express delivery services include DHL, UPS, EMS, Fedex, etc. These services are divided into those for Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. The ones for Hong Kong are a bit cheaper. EMS is relatively cheaper, with a weight limit of 30 kilograms. Express delivery is suitable for high-value products and is fast, usually taking 3 to 5 days, while EMS takes about 7 to 15 days. When it comes to express delivery, the bubble weight needs to be calculated. Generally, it is cheaper if it weighs over 20 kilograms. The recipient's assistance in customs clearance is needed

Overseas warehouse delivery: Prepare the goods in advance to the overseas warehouse. After the buyer makes the purchase, the goods will be dispatched from the overseas warehouse. It is fast in delivery and low in cost. The location is marked as local, competing on the same stage with foreign sellers, providing a good buyer experience. Export Easy has overseas warehouses in the UK, the US, Australia, Germany, Canada and Russia. Overseas warehouses have become a standard feature and trend in cross-border e-commerce, with no category restrictions. For fast delivery, air freight replenishment is available; for cheaper options, sea freight replenishment can be chosen.

Question 8: What are the cross-border e-commerce logistics models in China? Feilong Century Logistics provides logistics services from Hong Kong to the mainland, which also falls under cross-border logistics between China and Hong Kong. I have some understanding of this.

1: Traditional foreign trade logistics + overseas warehouses.

To address issues such as high air freight costs, relatively long delivery cycles, and higher import tax rates for cross-border e-commerce in some importing markets compared to general imports, setting up warehouses overseas for local delivery has become a significant trend in cross-border logistics. Overseas warehouses consist of three parts: the first leg of transportation, warehouse management, and local delivery. The first leg of the overseas warehouse is transported by traditional foreign trade logistics methods (sea, air and land transportation). After arriving at the destination country, the goods are imported according to the normal customs clearance process, which greatly reduces the obstacles of customs clearance. After accepting the order, it is directly dispatched and delivered from the overseas warehouse, shortening the transportation time and transfer process. In addition, overseas warehouses store inventories of various goods, so return and exchange services can also be realized.

2: Postal parcels.

China Post is a member of the Universal Postal Union and the Kahala Postal Organization, and it has an absolute advantage over international express delivery in terms of service prices. According to incomplete statistics, 70% of the parcels of China's cross-border e-commerce exports are delivered through the postal system, among which China Post accounts for about 50%. The international logistics services generally applicable to export e-commerce under China Post include large packages and small packages. Among them, the postal small package is the most widely used due to its comprehensive characteristics of fast delivery and low price. Apart from China Post, domestic merchants also choose to use freight forwarders through channels such as Hong Kong Post and Singapore Post.

3: International Express delivery.

International express delivery can be classified into commercial express delivery and international postal express delivery according to the carrier. Among them, the four major international express delivery companies, FedEx, UPS, TNT and DHL, are the most well-known. Meanwhile, the overseas layout of domestic express delivery companies such as SF Express and "YTO, ZTO, STO and Yunda" is becoming increasingly complete. China Post International EMS, Singapore EMS, USPS(MEI Post), and PARCELFORCE(UK Post) are also providing domestic merchants with logistics options. These are relatively widely used in international postal express services.

Compared with postal small packages, international express parcels are delivered faster and offer better services, but their prices are also relatively higher. Generally, domestic merchants only use commercial express delivery to deliver goods when customers have a strong demand for timeliness. At present, in response to the rapid development of export B2C, some international express delivery companies have launched distinctive services. For instance, China Post EMS and AliExpress, a subsidiary of Alibaba, have launched ePacket, which charges much lower prices than ordinary EMS for cross-border parcels weighing less than 2 kilograms, while maintaining the previous level of delivery efficiency.

4: Dedicated line logistics.

Generally, goods are transported in bulk to foreign countries through air charter and then delivered to the destination country, which can reduce costs through economies of scale.

The answer is for reference.
