How to select international logistics delivery method?
In addition to products, I’m afraid that friends in international trade are most concerned about an international logistics problem. When receiving an order, how to mail the goods to customers in the fastest and most preferential international logistics way. So how do we choose the delivery channel? Zhanhuawei international logistics compares and introduces the properties, timeliness, price and international express delivery channels of goods.
First, from the nature of goods, international goods can be divided into ordinary goods and imitation goods
First of all, let’s introduce what ordinary goods are. Generally speaking, ordinary goods are ordinary goods, not brand goods, not sensitive goods, etc. Imitation goods refer to counterfeiting other people’s brands, appearance and logo without formal authorization certificate.
For general goods, there are many options for delivery methods, which can basically go. Friends who send ordinary goods can choose the express delivery of postal service, because the postal service has strong customs clearance ability, wide delivery range and cheap price.
The selection of imitation goods is not as wide as that of ordinary goods, because various countries have strict inspection on imitation brand goods and prohibit import. Usually, imitation goods can go through EMS, large postal package, small postal package and other channels. Of course, you can try the four express sometimes, but the price is much more expensive. The most important thing is that the risk is too great. You need to consult the shipping company for specific conditions before you can take the goods.
Second, analyze the timeliness of goods
Foreign trade customers are most concerned about the timeliness of delivery, because too long will lead to customer complaints, and even the risk that some foreign trade customer stores on third-party platforms will be closed. Therefore, the speed of logistics has become the top priority. For example, UPS, DHL, FedEx and international special lines are the fastest ones. The timeliness control is relatively fast. They can be delivered within 3-7 days. If they are from Southeast Asian countries, they can be delivered within 5 working days. For EMS service, the timeliness can be controlled within 7-10 days. If you are lucky, some countries even have a shorter time. EMS service mainly has fast timeliness and good stability. There are also items like big bags. You can take big bags by air, but the time limit is about 20 days. If the requirements for timeliness are low and the price is cheap, you can use surface mail or land and water channels. Generally, the timeliness is within 30-40. At present, there are many delivery channels, and each channel has its own advantages. You can choose according to your own situation.
Third, analyze the price of goods
In terms of price, parcels less than two kilograms can choose postal parcels, e postal treasure and other channels. If it is more than two kilograms but less than thirty kilograms, you can choose China Post big bag and Hongkong Post big bag services. In addition, for goods below 21kg, four international express is preferred. Of course, there is a problem of volume weight and remote cost when sending international express. If the volume weight is too much heavier than the actual weight, you should consider it comprehensively. Remote costs are the same. The four major international express companies will have their own remote cost price, which should be considered in the freight after checking.
Fourth, analyze the advantages of international express
DHL Express mainly has great advantages in Europe, America, Africa and South America. UPS Express mainly goes to Southeast Asia, which has obvious advantages. FedEx Express is mainly expensive, but it has the advantage of strong customs clearance capacity in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. These international express have the characteristics of fast timeliness and strong customs clearance ability, but the price is expensive. International express business can consult Internet easy customer service to provide the best delivery channel and price advantage.
The above is an analysis on the delivery mode of foreign trade customers. The above is a summary analysis on the price, nature and timeliness of goods. I believe you can choose a suitable delivery channel according to your delivery situation.
