What Are The International Logistics Modes Of Cross-border E-commerce?

At present, there are three logistics modes for cross-border B2C e-commerce: international small parcels and express delivery, overseas warehousing, and large-scale transportation after aggregation.
International parcels include China Post parcels, Hong Kong Post parcels and Singapore Post parcels, etc., which are characterized by long transit times. International express delivery includes DHL and EMS, etc., which are characterized by higher costs. These two are the most traditional and the most simple and direct logistics methods. For many small-scale enterprises, international parcels and express delivery are almost the only logistics options available. the
Overseas warehousing is to rent a warehouse in advance in a foreign country, transport the goods to the warehouse by sea or air, and then ship directly from the warehouse after receiving the customer's order. It is not easy to realize this model, because although the transportation cost of building overseas warehouses will be much lower and the delivery speed can be improved, the construction and operation costs are high. the
There are two types of large-scale transportation after aggregation. One is the enterprise's own cargo transportation. This logistics transportation mode is mainly applicable to B2C platforms that are foreign trade companies. Enterprises purchase goods from domestic suppliers by themselves. Sell to foreign buyers and earn profit difference by buying and selling. The other is to collect goods through a foreign trade enterprise alliance, which mainly uses the principle of scale advantage and complementary advantages to unite some small foreign trade enterprises with similar goods to form a B2C strategic alliance, and establish a common foreign trade B2C logistics operation center through an agreement. The disadvantage of this type is that there is a long transportation cycle and complicated logistics procedures, and the company needs to invest a lot of money in the early stage. For many small and medium-sized foreign trade companies, this cost is unbearable. the
Since the logistics distribution mode is not only directly related to the transaction cost of B2C foreign trade enterprises, but also related to the satisfaction and trust of overseas buyers in foreign trade enterprises, related to the shopping experience of customers, and further related to the sales performance and final income of sellers, therefore , Each enterprise should choose the most suitable logistics mode according to its own financial strength and product nature.
