What are the advantages of Shopee's overseas warehouses? How to ship goods?

There are many logistics delivery methods to choose from on the Shopee platform, such as self-delivery, overseas warehouses, etc. Before choosing a logistics delivery method, some seller friends want to know what are the advantages of Shopee's overseas warehouses? What are the benefits?

① Reduce logistics costs:

Before entering the warehouse, the seller's logistics costs are (taking Shopee Taiwan as an example):

Starting from NT$15 per order + domestic express delivery fee to Shopee’s transit warehouse)

After entering the warehouse, the seller's logistics cost is:

Freight costs to overseas warehouses

In order to encourage sellers to join overseas warehouses, Shopee waives the final delivery fee, that is, the freight from the overseas warehouse to the buyer, which is borne by Shopee. In this way, it seems to save a lot of money.

② Reduce time cost:

Of course, overseas warehouses ship directly and can complete delivery within 10 hours after the order is placed, which is more time-efficient, provides a good buyer experience, and naturally enhances customer stickiness. Compared with sellers using domestic warehouses, the delivery time is shorter and the advantages are greater.

③ Platform resource support: Sellers can get more homepage exposure, limited-time flash sale resources, free shipping promotions, and cross-store joint sales services. At the same time, the platform can provide product selection suggestions and traffic solutions to help sellers operate stores.

④ Reduce losses: If the COD does not pick up the product, the Shopee overseas warehouse can take the product back. After the returned product is reviewed and approved, it can be put on the shelf for sale again.

How to sign up for new products?

First, ask the account manager for a new product registration form so that the product ID, modelid and shopid can be provided for the overseas warehouse's product classification, price, quantity and corresponding SLS store. The above information is used for internal review by Shopee Marketplace. Then, for the products that have passed the review, the seller is entrusted to the newly opened overseas warehouse store to make the product ID and modelid and provide them to the account manager. The above information is used to create a po. In fact, new products do not necessarily have to be in SLS. Not only can existing products of SLS stores be uploaded, but also new products.

How long will it take for the product to be put on the shelves after it arrives at the warehouse? If it is not put on the shelves, will it affect the amount I am charged?

Usually, the goods will be put on the shelves one to two weeks after they arrive at the warehouse, and it will be extended by 2 to 3 weeks during the promotion period. If the product is not put on the shelves, there is no charge. The charge is calculated from the time the product is put on the shelves.

Finally, after the products are shipped from the overseas warehouse, if the delivery fails, will they be sold again?

Regardless of the operation, if the product sales fail, the product will be returned to the local warehouse, but the quality of the product needs to be tested. If there is no problem with the quality of the product, it will be sold again. If it fails, it will be processed. Please consult the account manager for details.

Sellers who operate their own brands can consider moving in the direction of overseas warehouses, but whether it is suitable for them to do so right now depends on their actual situation.
