View:19Logistics
For cross-border sellers who want to ship to the United States, before choosing the right logistics, they need to understand their logistics needs. This includes several aspects such as timeliness, price, stability, and item restrictions. If you are more sensitive to price, then choose a cheaper logistics channel. If the time requirement is high, then choose the logistics with fast time. If you want the channel to be stable, then choose the logistics channel with many routes and frequencies. If you need to mail sensitive items, you can target the corresponding logistics channels.
Of course, most of the time our demand is not a single, but multiple factors superimposed together. For example, we hope that the logistics channel can send electrified items, the time limit of 4-7 days, and the price is cheap. Then we need to consider a combination of factors to choose.
U.S. logistics channels
U.S. road logistics are numerous, mainly including air transportation, sea transportation, express delivery of three categories.
Air transport: air transport is mainly to special line, postal parcels, special line time, price residence, can undertake some sensitive goods, cost-effective. Postal parcels to E mail treasure is the main, logistics time is slow, the price is lower, suitable for light small goods.
Sea freight: sea freight line, shipping from Shenzhen Yantian port to Australia, the overall time limit of 20-35 days, slow time, low cost, large carrying capacity, is to be used for large and heavy goods.
Express: Express to DHL Express, Fedex Express is the main, the two courier companies in the United States have a good advantage, of which Fedex Express price is lower, DHL Express faster.
Targeted selection of logistics suitable for their own delivery
Small goods: small goods on the logistics of high time requirements, choose DHLFedex and other commercial courier. Logistics time requirements in general, you can choose a special line of express delivery, such as the United States special line, the fastest 5 days to the goods and lower fees. Slower time, you can choose E mail treasure, about two weeks or so to the goods.
Large goods: large goods, can only go by express or sea transportation. Express, DHL express large cargo channels have price advantages. The time requirement is not high, you can choose the lowest cost of sea transportation.
Heavier goods: heavier goods, can only go by sea. On the one hand, it is because of the limitations of the channel carrying capacity, on the other hand, it is because of the higher transportation costs.
Notes on shipping to the United States
According to the introduction of the above logistics channels, you can choose the logistics channel that suits you. The U.S. line is cost-effective, fast time, close to the commercial express, the tariff is close to the postal parcel. We have good time efficiency, cheap price, but the peak season is easy to row warehouse and can not send with electricity, liquid, cosmetics and other items.
