Is Lazada drop shipping reliable? How to ship goods through drop shipping?

If you want to start a cross-border e-commerce business in Southeast Asia, then Lazada may be a good choice. But some sellers want to know whether Lazada drop shipping is reliable?

1. Is Lazada’s drop shipping reliable?

Lazada drop shipping means that you can store your products in Lazada's overseas warehouse or a third-party warehouse. When an order is placed, Lazada or the third-party warehouse will pack and ship it for you without you having to do it yourself. This can save you time and cost, and improve your logistics efficiency and customer satisfaction.

The advantages of Lazada drop shipping are as follows:

1. No need to prepare goods, reducing inventory risk. You only need to upload product information and pictures on the Lazada platform to start selling. There is no need to purchase a large number of goods in advance, and there is no need to worry about the goods being expired or unsalable.

2. No need for cross-border logistics, reducing transportation costs. Your products will be sent directly from overseas warehouses or third-party warehouses to buyers without going through international customs clearance and transshipment, which can save freight and taxes, and avoid logistics delays and losses.

3. No need for after-sales service, improving customer satisfaction. If the goods received by the buyer have quality problems or do not meet the description, they can directly contact Lazada or a third-party warehouse for return or exchange without your intervention, and you do not need to bear the return shipping costs and losses.

4. No professional knowledge is required, and the operation process is simplified. You only need to register a Lazada seller account to use Lazada's drop shipping service. You don't need to understand the logistics rules and tax policies of various countries, nor do you need to master various languages ​​and currencies.

2. How to ship goods through Lazada drop shipping?

First, you need to find a reliable supplier or freight forwarder who can provide logistics methods supported by Lazada, such as LGS (Lazada Global Shipping), LEX (Lazada Express), etc. You can find suitable partners through some platforms or communities, such as 1688, AliExpress, Taobao, Xige Cross-border Network, etc.

Secondly, you need to upload the products you want to sell on the Lazada platform and set the price, inventory, promotion and other information. You can use some tools or software to help you upload and manage products in batches, such as Dianxiaomi, Fengniao, etc.

Then, when you receive the order, you need to notify your supplier or freight forwarder in time and provide relevant information of the order, such as the consignee's name, address, phone number, etc. You also need to confirm that they have enough inventory and can deliver the goods within the specified time. Generally speaking, Lazada requires sellers to click delivery within 48 hours and deliver the goods to the sorting center within 5 days.

Finally, when your supplier or freight forwarder ships the goods, they will provide you with a waybill number and a logistics label. You need to enter the waybill number on the Lazada platform and print out the logistics label and stick it on the package. Then, you can wait for Lazada's official logistics to deliver the goods to the destination and track the logistics status of the order. When the order is delivered, you can receive the payment.

Lazada drop shipping has many advantages, but there are also some risks. I hope sellers can think carefully before doing drop shipping.
