Advantages of 3pl Warehousing Services

In cross-border e-commerce, order logistics is a very important part.

Generally, sellers will choose logistics outsourcing, that is, cooperate with 3PL (third-party logistics). After obtaining the order on the e-commerce platform or independent station, the third-party logistics will be responsible for the transportation and distribution of the order package. The services they provide include:

1. Receive inbound commodity inventory from sellers and sellers' suppliers;

2. According to the seller's sales history data, put the seller's product inventory in one or more warehouses, help sellers manage inventory, track inventory levels, synchronize sales channels, and provide 3PL service performance;

3. Pick goods for the order and pack;

4. Arrange shipments, cross-border documents, handle customs duties, arrange courier companies, complete international delivery, and even expedited delivery;

5. Process the return and restock the returned product (if the returned product itself has no quality problems). (Scan the code at the end of the article to enter the cross-border e-commerce elite seller exchange group)

What sellers need to pay attention to is that third-party logistics is different from second-party logistics and fourth-party logistics. The second-party logistics is only responsible for the transportation of order packages, while the fourth-party logistics is responsible for the seller's entire supply chain process, including finding and Managing third-party logistics.

Overall, cooperating with 3PL is beneficial to cross-border e-commerce sellers, including its professionalism, convenience, lower cost, and also allows sellers to process more orders, while ensuring delivery speed and shipping speed, which are many Seller Choices.

Of course, if the third-party e-commerce platform provides order fulfillment services, it may be easier for sellers to choose the platform's logistics network, such as Amazon FBA logistics. On the one hand, they can enjoy the convenience of 3PL, and on the other hand, they are more likely to obtain the support of the platform.

Under what circumstances should cross-border e-commerce sellers choose 3PL?

1. Lots of orders

If there are a lot of product orders, it is recommended that sellers use third-party logistics. On the one hand, it saves a lot of time for sellers. On the other hand, the more orders, the higher the cost-effectiveness of inventory warehousing and order logistics services.

2. Delivery delay

If there is a delay in delivery and delivery from the seller's self-delivery, they should switch to 3PL as soon as possible, at least to ensure the delivery speed promised on the product listing page, and to avoid delayed delivery of the order package, that is, delivery overtime, causing consumer dissatisfaction. It is easy to lose old customers.

3. Limited warehousing inventory and ability to fulfill orders

If the seller does not have his warehouse, or the warehouse space is not enough, or there is not much time to manage the inventory and delivery orders (because there are other businesses to deal with), you might as well use 3PL, then these problems are solved, and there is more time and energy to Expand sales channels and increase sales.
