How to choose logistics delivery for Shopify ?

To select the logistics for delivery, we must first distinguish between self delivery and platform delivery.

The logistics channels provided by the platforms, such like Alibaba or Amazon are free or charged, which is the way of platform delivery.The delivery time of platform is usually too long, which leads to many customer complaints.

Self delivery is our supply chain cooperation with Chinese agents, who will help us complete all things of order processing, including procurement, after-sales and logistics.They usually charge a service fee of $0.7-1 per order.They will choose suitable logistics channels for us, such as YunExpress, CNE and YDH.The transportation time of these logistics is usually relatively fast. Normally, it takes 5-15 working days, depending on the country and region.

After understanding the difference between them, let\’s analyze how to choose the logistics channel and how to judge whether your Chinese agent arranges the appropriate logistics for you?

First of all, since we want to choose self delivery, it is because we enable customers to receive their products more quickly and safely, so that we won\’t suffer too many complaints.Therefore, the time of transportation will be used as the standard for us to judge the quality of a logistics channel.

Now the fastest and best service logistics channel to the United States is YunExpress,Yunexpress takes only 6-8 working days to reach the western United States, 10-12 working days to reach the central United States and 10-15 working days to reach the eastern United States.CNE and 4PX will take 12-19 working days, and YDH returns a little faster than them.Therefore, when your Chinese agent selects multiple channels for you, YunExpress is likely to be the most expensive.At this time, you have to choose according to your expectations. If it is acceptable to be slower, it can also increase some profits, which is also an option to be considered.

So how much does YunExpress cost per kilogram to the United States? Usually, the logistics price will have a fluctuation period. From March to May every year, it costs about $20 per kilogram. But between June and December, the cost will rise to $25-30 per kilogram.If you choose a larger Chinese agent, he will get a better logistics price, and you can also get more profits.And if the price is more lower than the market price, you should consider whether you have been cheated? After all, there are some people in China who took your money but didn\’t act according to the agreement.Like b**8.

Then after the United States, we will talk about the EU countries.Because there are many countries, the selection of logistics channels is also relatively diversified.

For example, when selling to Germany or France , you can choose YDH or YunExpress; When selling to the Netherlands and Belgium, you can choose YunExpress or CNE; When selling to the Switzerland and Sweden, you can choose Yanwen. Since there are too many countries, I won\’t list the prices,However, prices in countries such as Britain, Germany, France, Spain and Italy will not exceed those in the United States.

It\’s smart to make business easier for a service fee of about $1.It can not only improve customer satisfaction, but also avoid freezing your funds because of complaints.

Of course, we must pay attention when selecting Chinese agents.Try to find some reliable companies to cooperate,don\’t let yourself suffer a big loss because of a small bargain.

I have cooperated with several Chinese agents,but a lot of them cost me a lot.Up to now, there are only two Chinese agents that I still have stable cooperation and enough trust.If you need, you can leave me a message and I can recommend it to you.
