What are the transportation methods for the European FBA line?
With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, Amazon has opened multiple national sites in Europe, attracting a large number of Chinese cross-border sellers to flood into the European market. This has also led to a gradual increase in demand for logistics from China to Europe, especially the demand for European FBA lines. So what are the transportation methods for the European FBA line? What is the timeliness of the European sea freight line?The European FBA line is a specialized international logistics line that transports domestic goods to European Amazon FBA warehouses. Because it is cheaper than international express shipping and can transport large quantities of goods, it is favored by cross-border sellers. At present, there are four common European FBA dedicated line transportation methods: European air transportation, European sea transportation, European railway and European Qatar Airways.
1.European air transport
European air transport refers to flying goods directly or transiting from airports in China to airports in European countries, and then using express companies such as trucks, UPS, and DPD to deliver the goods to the corresponding Amazon FBA warehouse according to customer needs. This method of transportation is fast, has a high safety factor, and the goods circulate quickly. Generally, it can be picked up 5-8 natural days after leaving the warehouse.
2. European shipping
European shipping refers to loading goods into container ships at Chinese ports, then transporting the goods to European ports by shipping, and finally using trucks, DPD, UPS, etc. for distribution to deliver the goods to the Amazon FBA warehouse in the corresponding country. This mode of transportation is suitable for the transportation needs of bulk goods.
3. European Rail
European railways have become a popular mode of transportation in recent years. The goods will arrive at the target country via specific routes taken by the China-Europe Railway, where they will then be unloaded and distributed by local logistics providers. Compared with other modes of transportation, the cost and timeliness of European railways are relatively moderate, and the price-performance ratio is high. Generally speaking, the transportation time of dedicated railway lines is about 24-34 days. Recently, due to inspections and railway maintenance in Poland, the departure time and overall timeliness of the train may be adjusted.
4. European Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways Europe, also known as China-Europe Qatar Airways, is another dedicated logistics transportation method besides air, sea and rail transportation. Compared with air freight, its freight is cheaper, and the timeliness is faster and more stable. At present, the time limit for European Qatar Airways is generally about 18-25 days, and the price is as low as 19 yuan/kg.
European shipping channel details: loading in Shenzhen, departure port Shekou port, destination port Koper port, customs clearance in Hungary, warehouse delivery in Germany. At present, it is estimated that there will be a delay of 2-5 days for the departure of the ship. The estimated shipping date is 22-32 days, and the estimated time for picking up the cabinet is 5-7 days.
The timeliness of the European shipping line is generally relatively stable, except for 2-5 days of delay in sailing, the timeliness of delivery is relatively good. In terms of price, delivery to the Amazon FBA warehouse in Germany is as low as 10 yuan/KG per 100 kilograms.
