Does Shopee need to set up overseas warehouses? Is it necessary?

Shopee's products are sold overseas. If they are shipped from domestic sources, there may actually be some problems with transportation time and conditions. In order to ensure user experience, some people suggest opening overseas warehouses. Does Shopee need to set up overseas warehouses? Many people also want to ask.

1. Does Shopee need to set up overseas warehouses?

In fact, it has both overseas warehouses and domestic warehouses. It has stations in many countries. When there is an order, it can be shipped from the station, which can reduce shipping costs and delivery time and improve logistics services. This is a very good thing for merchants who want to improve user experience.

Advantages of overseas warehouses:

1. Reduce time and cost. The timeliness is higher, the experience is better, and the stickiness is stronger. Compared with using domestic warehouses, the delivery time is shorter and the advantages are greater.

2. Resource support. You can get more exposure, resources, free shipping, and cross-store joint sales services. At the same time, we can provide product selection and traffic diversion solutions to help operate the store.

3. Reduce losses: If the goods are not picked up, you can take them back and sell them again after the return is reviewed. This is the advantage.

4. The logistics adopted are provided by the platform for store owners. There are multiple warehouses built. For delivery, you only need to send the products to Shopee’s warehouse. Shopee is responsible for the subsequent logistics issues. The logistics provided have size and weight restrictions. Therefore, if the products are too large or too heavy, you need to find another form of logistics delivery.

Second, is it necessary?

This depends on the situation. If the order volume is large, you can actually consider overseas warehouses.

3. How to ship goods from overseas warehouses?

1. Because the warehouse store and the cross-border store are separate, you need to find a manager to open a new warehouse store first.

2. Select the product you want to obtain the ID and SKU code. The inventory quantity should be written as 0, otherwise someone may place an order when the product is displayed, and there will be no stock to sell.

3. Download the information of all the products on your website and use this information to find products to recommend.

4. Prepare the products and quantities you mentioned to the manager, and label each one. Then pack them into boxes, put a packing list on the outside, and then wrap the boxes with sacks to prevent water and moisture, otherwise the freight forwarder will charge a fee. So, if you want to save money, you should do it yourself.

5. Then the goods will be sent to the partner or freight forwarder, and an information form will be filled out, and then it will be shipped to the local warehouse.

6. Once the local warehouse staff receives the product, they will change the quantity and you can start selling it.

If the Shopee store is doing good business, you can consider setting up an overseas warehouse. After all, with an overseas warehouse, its advantages will be much more obvious. Of course, this is not a mandatory requirement. If the store has good sales and supports the overseas warehouse business, you can consider opening an overseas warehouse for shipment.
