In addition to product issues, international foreign trade friends are probably most concerned about an international logistics issue. When receiving an order, how to mail the goods to customers with a faster and more favorable international logistics method. So how do we choose the shipping channel method? Zhanhuawei International Logistics compares and introduces the attributes, timeliness, prices and international express delivery channels of items.
First, according to the nature of the goods, international goods can be divided into general goods and imitation goods
First of all, let me introduce what is general goods. Generally speaking, general goods are general goods, not brand goods, not sensitive goods, etc. Imitation goods refer to imitation of other people's brands, imitation appearance, imitation logo, without formal authorization certificate.
There are many options for general cargo delivery methods, and basically you can go. Friends who ship general goods can choose the express delivery service of the postal service, because the postal service has strong customs clearance capabilities, a wide range of delivery, and cheap prices.
The selection of imitation goods is not as wide as that of general goods, because various countries have strict inspections on imitation brand items, prohibiting imports, etc. Usually, imitation goods can go through EMS, postal large packages, postal small packages and other channels. Of course, like the four major couriers, you can try it sometimes, but the price is much more expensive, and the most important thing is that the risk is too great. You need to consult with the shipping company for the specific situation before you can take the goods.
Second, analyze from the timeliness of items
Foreign trade customers are most concerned about the timeliness issue, because too long will lead to customer complaints, and even the danger of being blocked for foreign trade customers who do some third-party platforms. Therefore, the speed of logistics has become the top priority. For example, UPS, DHL, FEDEX and international special lines are the fastest in terms of aging. The aging control is relatively fast, within 3-7 days, and if it is a Southeast Asian country, it can be delivered within 5 working days. With EMS service, the timeliness can be controlled within 7-10 days. If some countries are lucky, the time is even shorter. EMS services are mainly about fast timeliness and good stability. There are also items like large bags, which can be carried in large air bags, but the time limit is about 20 days. If the time limit is low and the price is cheap, you can go through surface mail or land and water channels, and the general time limit 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 from the price of goods
In terms of price, parcels under two kilograms can choose postal parcels, E-postbao and other channels. If it is more than two kilograms and less than 30 kilograms, you can choose China Post large package and Hongkong Post large package service. There are also four major international express delivery options for goods under 21 kg. Of course, if you send international express, there is a problem of volume weight and remote cost. If the volume weight is too much heavier than the actual weight, then you have to consider it comprehensively. The same is true for remote fees. The four major international express companies will have their own remote fees and prices, which should be considered together in the freight after checking.
Fourth, analyze the advantages of international express delivery
DHL express mainly in Europe and the United States, Africa, South America have great advantages. UPS express mainly goes to Southeast Asia and has obvious advantages. FEDEX express is mainly expensive, but it has the advantage of strong customs clearance ability in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. These international expresses have the characteristics of fast timeliness and strong customs clearance capabilities, but they are expensive. For international express services, you can consult the customer service of E-easy to provide the best delivery channels and price advantages.
The above is an analysis of the delivery method of foreign trade customers. The above is a summary analysis of the price, nature and timeliness of the goods. I believe that everyone can choose a suitable delivery channel according to their own delivery situation.
