What is the operation process of overseas warehouse service?
Overseas warehouses refer to the establishment of storage warehouses overseas. Overseas warehouses are a common business in cross-border e-commerce. Many people still don’t understand how overseas warehouses operate.
1. The seller transports the goods to overseas warehousing centers himself, or entrusts a logistics service provider to deliver the goods to the service provider's overseas warehouse. This first leg of international freight can be delivered to the warehouse by sea, air or express delivery.
2. Sellers manage overseas warehousing remotely online. Sellers use the logistics information system of the logistics provider to remotely operate the goods stored in overseas warehouses and keep them updated in real time.
3. Carry out cargo operations according to the seller’s instructions. Based on the automated operating equipment of the logistics provider's overseas warehousing center, the goods are stored, sorted, packaged, and distributed in strict accordance with the seller's instructions.
4. System information is updated in real time. After the shipment is completed, the system will be updated in time so that the seller can know the inventory status in real time.
1. Drop shipping
In short: the seller sends batches of stocked products from China to overseas warehouses abroad, and then the staff of the overseas warehouse will inventory and put them on the shelves. When a buyer places an order, the seller only needs to issue a shipping instruction in the overseas warehouse system. Yes, warehouse personnel will implement local delivery abroad according to instructions.
2. Change the label
If there is a problem with the seller's account or the label is wrongly attached, the product needs to be sent to an overseas warehouse to have the label changed and re-sold.
3. Transfer
The most common situation is to combine FBA with a third-party overseas warehouse. The goods are first stored in the overseas warehouse, and are regularly or irregularly forwarded to (replenishment) FBA. While shipping from FBA, the goods are shipped from the overseas warehouse.
4. Handle value-added services such as returns and exchanges
If the buyer needs to return the goods, they can receive it directly at the local overseas warehouse. High timeliness.
