The transportation method of FBA head logistics in the United States:
There are basically three modes of transportation for FBA head-to-head logistics in the United States, namely: sea freight, air freight, and express delivery.
(1) Air freight
Air freight is the most expensive of the three logistics methods, but its speed is beyond doubt. It only takes about 10 days to arrive in Europe and the United States. However, some air freight transportation may take a long time, because airlines need to round up bulk cargo or arrange warehouses in order to save transportation costs, resulting in some delays. Nonetheless, air freight is a very efficient mode of transport from a safety point of view.
Compared with air freight, sea freight has a greater advantage in terms of shipping costs, so it is the main choice for many Amazon sellers. Although the shipping time limit cannot be compared with that of air freight, the time limit for shipping to North American countries is about 20-45 days, and the time limit for shipping to European countries will take longer, and it will also be affected by weather and emergencies, resulting in transportation Time delay. However, as long as the logistics company and the shipping company can control the timeliness of the shipping schedule stably, as a seller of foreign trade and cross-border e-commerce, they can ease the supply pressure of the store by stocking up in advance, and can also greatly reduce the transportation cost!
(3) Express delivery
Compared with other transportation methods, international express delivery has a very fast transportation speed, and it only takes one week to reach European and American countries. For example, if you use UPS Red List or DHL to ship, the timeliness is very fast. However, the prices of different logistics companies will also vary. When choosing a courier service, we need to pay attention to customs clearance capabilities. If the customs clearance ability is weak, it may cause troubles in customs clearance and affect the entry of goods into the warehouse.
