Can Shopee only deliver to one official warehouse? What are the delivery steps?

Many consumers like to open stores on cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Shopee. After opening a store on Shopee, they need to handle many things. For example, after opening a store on Shopee, they need to deal with shipping issues. Can Shopee only deliver to an official warehouse?

Can Shopee only deliver to one official warehouse?

Yes.

First of all, Shopee has two delivery channels: one is Shopee’s own logistics SLS, which requires the products to be sent to Shopee’s warehouse first, and then officially delivered to customers by Shopee; the other is to find cross-border logistics by yourself, which is more troublesome and more expensive than SLS delivery.

In most cases, Shopee’s own logistics are used, so the products need to be sent to Shopee’s warehouse. There are also two ways, one is to use a freight forwarder, and the other is to send it by yourself.

What are the delivery steps?

1. There are two delivery channels. One is the official logistics, which sends the products to the warehouse, and then distributes them to customers from the warehouse through official logistics. The other is to use other logistics, such as SF Express. The logistics cost of this logistics is more expensive than the official logistics, so it is not recommended to use this channel.

2. The method of delivery, so generally we use official logistics, although when delivering the product, there are two other ways, one is freight forwarding, the other is sending it to the warehouse.

If you want to do it without a source of goods, of course, a freight forwarder is recommended, because the products will no longer be in your hands, and they need to be delivered to your hands, and then packed. Of course, two layers of packaging are needed, and the international waybill must be affixed inside, and the domestic waybill sent to the warehouse is outside. Of course, this takes a long time, and the freight forwarder is a place very close to the warehouse, and can deliver the products to the warehouse on the same day.

Therefore, for shipments without a source of goods, you basically choose a freight forwarder, which will not be far from the warehouse, and the shipment will be basically fast. It also solves the problem of cross-border shipments and makes the no-source model smoother.

3. Stocking. If the delivery speed is relatively slow, of course this also involves the issue of stocking. Stocking refers to the time it takes for the goods to be shipped to the warehouse when the customer service places an order and pays.

When preparing stocks, if the product is set at more than 7 days, the product will be judged as a pre-sale product. Of course, if the time is too high in Shopee, some products will be hidden, which will also affect the store's selection. Therefore, the preparation time should be changed to 2 days to avoid the above two points.

4. Point deduction mechanism. The stocking period is set to 2 days. This time is very precious. Therefore, using a freight forwarder is the best choice. The delivery will be assessed regularly. If the late delivery rate is too high, one point will be deducted. If it is serious, two points will be deducted. Of course, some people think that these deductions are not that high. If 15 points are deducted in a quarter, the store will be closed. Deducting 6 points will reduce store traffic, and reduced traffic means fewer orders.

There are many things we need to deal with after opening a store on Shopee. Once a consumer places an order, as a Shopee merchant, we need to ship the goods. As for how many official warehouses to send to, it depends on the actual situation. I hope the above content is more helpful.
