What are the transportation methods for the first journey from Shenzhen to Canada FBA?
Among the Amazon FBA global sites, the North American market ranks first, the European market ranks second, and the Southeast Asian market ranks third. As a country adjacent to the United States in the north of North America, Canada is one of the fastest growing Amazon FBA markets in recent years. So, what are the transportation methods for Shenzhen to Canada FBA first journey?
Although the carrying capacity of FBA air freight is not as good as that of FBA sea freight, under certain conditions, FBA air freight is more time-sensitive, so it still attracts high-demand attention. FBA air freight is suitable for valuable, low-weight, small items, urgent transportation, high-precision technology and other products. Compared with FBA sea freight, the cost of FBA air freight will be higher. According to the reference timeliness, it usually takes 2-4 working days for the express direct flight, and 4-6 working days for the slow flight.
2. Canada FBA International Express
At present, there are DHL, UPS, FEDEX, TNT and postal EMS to deliver the goods to the Canadian FBA warehouse. Compared with other transportation methods, Canadian FBA international express has the highest cost, but it is also the most efficient. Under normal circumstances, these courier service providers can quickly deliver goods to all parts of Canada within 3 days. For sensitive goods, EMS has a greater advantage in customs clearance; for small goods, DHL is suitable; for large goods, UPS/TNT can be considered. In addition, another advantage of sending goods to the FBA warehouse by express is that there is no need to make an appointment to enter the warehouse, saving time and trouble.
The FBA shipping line is a suitable choice for bulk export transportation, with a larger carrying capacity and lower freight. However, one factor that needs to be considered is the longer shipping period and slower timeliness. The timeliness of the whole process usually takes 20 to 40 days, therefore, it is necessary to arrange the time slot reasonably in the shipping plan. The Canadian FBA shipping line provides two transportation methods: FCL transportation and LCL. Generally, the goods are delivered directly to the FBA warehouse in the form of head sea transportation plus tail truck or tail express.
4. Canadian FBA small package
Canadian FBA small package is a logistics channel often used by many small and medium sellers. Although it does not belong to the traditional shipping methods (sea, air, express), it is a very convenient option for small items. There are many types of Canadian FBA packages, which can be selected according to timeliness and transportation requirements. For example, if the time limit is relatively loose, you can choose a small package by sea in Canada; if you have certain requirements on time limit, you can choose a small package by air in Canada; if the time limit is very strict, you can choose a small package by express. In addition, postal packets are also available. Generally speaking, these small bags are suitable for small items, with a large number of tickets, and the weight is generally within a few kilograms. For cross-border sellers, the self-delivery model often uses the Canadian FBA small package channel for logistics distribution.
Which transportation method from Shenzhen to Canada FBA is better depends on the seller's own requirements. If the timeliness requirements are high, you can choose international express first, followed by air freight, and then sea freight. If cost is the main consideration, sea freight may be the first choice, followed by air freight, and finally express. Please consider various factors comprehensively according to your own needs, and choose a suitable transportation method.
