How does Shopee ship goods without a source? What are the shipping steps?

Merchants without sources actually have stores on many platforms, such as the familiar cross-border platform Shopee. However, because Shopee is an overseas platform, doing business with no sources on Shopee is somewhat different from doing business in China. So how do they ship goods?

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.

In fact, if Shopee wants to ship goods without a source, it will basically use a freight forwarder to ship the goods. In this way, once the goods are sent to the warehouse, the warehouse will basically take on a series of services such as shipping and return. Therefore, in the no-source model, you only need to choose a freight forwarder, which basically solves the problem of shipping. For specific reference, you can refer to the content in the article.
