Domestic express delivery includes EMS, SF Express and "Four Links and One Express". However, in terms of cross-border logistics, "Four Links and One Express" started late. At present, the international business of SF Express and EMS is mainly relatively complete.
SF Express has now opened express delivery services with the United States, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and other Asian countries. Within Asia, express delivery can usually be completed in two to three days.
EMS is currently a very developed international express delivery service provider in China. Because it relies on the postal system, EMS can realize express delivery among more than 60 countries around the world. The time is 2 to 3 days in Asia and 5 to 7 days in European and American countries, and the cost is Compared with the four major international express delivery companies, it is much lower.

A major advantage of this model is that it can deliver large quantities and reduce transportation costs through scale. Therefore, the cost is lower than commercial express delivery, and the time is And significantly faster than postal parcels. The dedicated logistics lines currently on the market include dedicated lines in Europe, America, Australia, the Middle East, South America, Africa and other regions.

The overseas warehousing model is currently a hotly debated model. Its advantages include lower costs and faster delivery. However, for companies, there are many factors to consider when preparing for overseas warehousing, especially the supply and demand estimates of goods. Clearly judging the quantity of stored goods based on market demand will determine the smoothness of the entry and exit of warehousing goods, and will not cause pressure on goods. This requires cross-border e-commerce companies to have high standards in supply chain management, inventory control, and dynamic sales management. ability.
