How to ship goods through cross-border e-commerce? What are the methods?

There are actually quite a lot of merchants doing cross-border e-commerce now. For merchants, they need to master many aspects of operation skills. Cross-border e-commerce merchants also need to deal with shipping issues. So how do they ship goods? The following content will give you relevant introduction.

Cross-border e-commerce generally has two delivery methods. If the platform you are running has its own logistics and warehousing, there are three delivery methods.

Take Amazon as an example:

1. Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)

FBA is Amazon's logistics service. Sellers first send goods to Amazon warehouses for storage, and then ship directly from Amazon warehouses after receiving orders. The entire process of selecting, packaging, and transporting products is handled by Amazon staff. Not only that, the platform also provides customer service and return services. Using this method, delivery time is faster, and the customer's user experience is better, which is equivalent to sharing the seller's workload. However, you also have to pay Amazon a warehouse usage fee.

2. Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP)

Simply put, SFP means that the seller builds an overseas warehouse by himself or cooperates with a third-party overseas warehouse. The logistics efficiency is similar to the FBA model. However, certain regulations must be met to be eligible to use SFP.

3. Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM)

FBM means that the seller uses his own resources to ship goods to the buyer. When the store receives an order, the seller will ship the goods from China to foreign countries. This model does not require stockpiling or even a source of goods, but the logistics time is relatively slow.

As a cross-border e-commerce merchant, you need to ship goods, but many merchants may not know how to do it. Therefore, in order to solve the problems of all merchants, the above content has been introduced to all cross-border e-commerce merchants.
