Warehousing and distribution services project management

Overseas warehousing mode

Overseas warehousing service refers to a one-stop control and management service for sellers to store, sort, pack and deliver goods at the sales destination. To be precise, overseas warehousing should include three parts: head-haul transportation, warehouse management and local distribution.

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

Warehousing management: Chinese merchants remotely operate overseas warehousing goods and manage inventory in real time through the logistics information system.

Local delivery: According to the order information, the overseas warehousing center will deliver the goods to customers by local post or express.

Advantages of overseas warehouses:

1. Improve the transportation time.

Since the goods are stored locally, after the buyer places an order, the goods are shipped directly from the local area, which is much faster than shipping from the country to the buyer; and most buyers also purchase locally shipped products in a few days away. It can greatly improve the shopping experience of buyers and reduce problems during transportation.

2. Save transportation costs.

Since the storage fee of overseas warehouses is cheaper than the transportation fee, and the storage fee is mainly calculated according to the volume of the goods, it can save the seller the shipping fee.

3. Fast replenishment.

For Amazon sellers, it is possible to store some of the goods in a third-party overseas warehouse first, and when FBA needs to replenish the goods, it is very efficient to deliver them.

4. After-sale guarantee.

Overseas warehouses generally provide return services, such as return inspection, return label replacement, maintenance, etc., which are more guaranteed for buyers' return after-sales service.

5. Improve the competitiveness of products and stores.

Due to the reduction in transportation costs, the cost of the product has also been increased, which can not only enhance the competitiveness of the product, but also enhance the overall competitiveness of the store.

Disadvantages of overseas warehouses:

1. Low controllability.

Since the goods are stored and shipped overseas, the seller cannot directly manage them. What the seller can control is to push the order to the overseas warehouse, and the delivery, delivery and other processes are operated by the overseas warehouse. If there is a problem, it will easily lead to a reduction in the delivery time of the goods and affect the buyer's experience.

2. Inventory pressure increases.

Since warehousing will generate storage fees, the fees are calculated according to the storage area of ​​the goods every month; the more inventory, the higher the storage fee. Therefore, if the unsalable goods cause a backlog of inventory, it will undoubtedly increase the cost, and it will be more troublesome to deal with, thus causing difficulties.

Therefore, everyone should also consider their own situation to see if it is suitable for the overseas warehouse mode, otherwise it may affect your funds and the storage and transportation of goods, and the consequences will be relatively large. Naturally, we must choose reliable overseas warehouse cooperation in the future, and choose cost-effective overseas warehouses according to their transportation efficiency, costs and management capabilities, which can save more storage costs.
