How much does Shopee's transit warehouse charge? How does Shopee choose logistics?

After opening a store on Shopee, many people do not understand the shipping logistics process of cross-border e-commerce, which leads to a lot of unnecessary trouble. There are indeed many differences between the logistics of cross-border e-commerce and domestic e-commerce, and the difference in fees is also relatively large. So how does the transit warehouse on Shopee charge?

How much does Shopee's transit warehouse charge?

Shopee's logistics delivery adopts the transshipment warehouse model. For self-delivery, only SF Express can be used. The goods will be shipped only when there are items.

Taking the Taiwan market as an example, you are responsible for the shipping costs to the transshipment warehouse (Shenzhen by default), and you can use any courier.

Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets have transit warehouses in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Yiwu and Quanzhou. Singapore and Malaysia’s ocean freight transit warehouses are in Guangzhou and Yiwu, and Thailand’s large-scale logistics transit warehouse is in Guangzhou.

Shopee is responsible for the shipment from the transshipment warehouse to the Taiwanese customers. The first weight is 0.5 kg, and the seller only needs to pay about 3 yuan. The additional weight is every 0.5 kg, and the seller needs to pay 30 New Taiwan dollars, which is about 6 yuan.

How does Shopee choose logistics?

When building the logistics system, among the markets where Shopee is located, Indonesia has the most difficult logistics distribution. Shopee spent a lot of money to build its own logistics network in Indonesia covering more than 20 airports. Nearly 800 flights take off and land at the airport closest to the seller every week. In Singapore, because the country is small, the logistics system is complete, and the labor cost is high, Shopee chose to cooperate with postal express, which is more cost-effective.

In Taiwan, Shopee mainly uses its own channel SLS, and provides two services: home delivery and store delivery. Home delivery is delivered by Black Cat Express, and store delivery is done by sending the package to a 7-11 convenience store or FamilyMart, and the buyer picks it up by themselves. If the delivery is not successful the first time, it will be delivered again within seven days. There is no secondary delivery service for store delivery, and Taiwan supports both cash on delivery and non-cash on delivery payment methods, and you can choose by yourself.

At present, the shipping model adopted by domestic sellers is that the sellers send the goods to the transit warehouse themselves, and the transit warehouse then sends them to different countries. After arriving at the destination country, SLS Express will carry out the final delivery.

The transit warehouses for Taiwan and Southeast Asia have stations in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Yiwu and Quanzhou. The transit warehouses for Singapore and Malaysia are located in Guangzhou and Yiwu, and the transit warehouse for large cargo transportation in Thailand is also set up in Guangzhou. Although the Southeast Asian market seems to be a complete market, there are still differences in consumption concepts, habits, languages, religious beliefs, etc. among various countries, and Shopee's logistics system still needs to be improved and developed, and it must continue to explore and move forward.

This is the end of the introduction to the charging standards of Shopee’s transit warehouse. When opening a store on Shopee, it is inevitable to use this logistics method, so it is necessary to understand the charging situation. It can help you understand the shipping costs in advance and then formulate the profit margin of the goods.
