Can Shopee cross-border stores avoid going to transit warehouses? What are the regulations?

Shopee cross-border store is a platform for foreign peripheral markets. In fact, it has developed very well in recent years, so many merchants have opened stores on it. However, there is a problem with Shopee delivery, which is that it requires a transit warehouse. So, some merchants are afraid of trouble and ask if they can avoid going to the transit warehouse?

1. Can Shopee cross-border stores avoid going to transit warehouses?

If there is no transshipment warehouse and delivery, it is impossible to arrange loading or forecast.

2. What are the regulations?

Therefore, we need to go to the transit warehouse to arrange shipment and delivery. We need to log in to the backend to set the default transit warehouse and delivery method.

3. Can I only select one for transfer?

Yes, you can only choose one. The official has set up warehouses in Shanghai, Quanzhou, Shenzhen and Yiwu in China. After purchasing the product on the platform, if there is a source of goods, you can personally send the goods to the platform's freight forwarder. The freight forwarder will set up a transit warehouse nearby, if you are doing a no-source model.

Then, you first need to go to 1688 or other domestic platforms to find manufacturers to purchase goods, send the goods to the freight forwarder, and then the freight forwarder will pack and affix the shipping label before sending them to the transshipment warehouse. Finally, it depends on whether the buyer chooses home delivery or store delivery. For store delivery, the goods will be delivered to a nearby convenience store, and for home delivery, the goods will be delivered to the residence.
