Everyone involved in cross-border trade knows that logistics costs account for a significant portion of operating costs. Once there are logistics issues, they will inevitably incur multiple maintenance costs and dispute resolution efforts in the later stages. So how to choose the most suitable cross-border logistics for oneself has become a compulsory course in cross-border trade. According to the current situation, there are relatively few industries engaged in cross-border e-commerce in China, and such a large-scale shopping demand can only be met by international express delivery, which is far from enough. This also leads to frequent stock shortages and express squeezing events during the shopping peak season, sometimes with delivery cycles lasting for a long time, which seriously restricts the development of domestic cross-border e-commerce

Cross border e-commerce involves many aspects such as cross-border warehousing, transportation, distribution, and tax calculation, which also enables cross-border e-commerce logistics enterprises to have complete and efficient infrastructure construction, achieving efficiency, convenience, and low cost in package transportation.

China's cross-border e-commerce mainly relies on international express delivery and postal parcels, and these logistics methods have long cross-border transportation times and high costs.

For cross-border e-commerce, adopting self built logistics will seriously increase the operating costs of enterprises, and strategic alliances are their high-quality choice. Many enterprises set up storage centers both domestically and internationally. Alliance enterprises gather packages to domestic storage centers after overseas buyers place orders, and transport them uniformly to the foreign storage centers. The overseas distribution centers will make the final distribution based on the recipient's information. This joint distribution transportation method can greatly reduce enterprise costs.

Special line logistics mode: Cross border e-commerce logistics is generally transported to foreign countries through air parcel shipping, and then delivered to the destination country through cooperative companies. The advantage of dedicated logistics lies in its ability to concentrate large quantities of goods to a specific country or region, reducing costs through economies of scale. Therefore, its price is generally lower than commercial express delivery.

Overseas warehousing mode: Overseas warehousing services refer to one-stop control and management services for sellers to store, sort, package, and deliver goods at the sales destination. Specifically, overseas warehousing should include three parts: initial transportation, warehouse management, and local delivery.

Actually, everyone knows in their hearts that choosing cross-border logistics is not the cheaper the better. Choose the logistics that suits your product, because all choices are based on meeting customer needs and achieving logistics objectives. There is no need to say much about safety. If we fail to pass the standards of smooth customs clearance, damage rate, and lost parts rate, it is not an issue that cannot be broken or costly for us. It is an endless process of after-sales service, customer complaints, and platform penalties.
