Comparison of different FBA head process logistics transportation modes

There are five common FBA first-leg logistics transportation modes used by cross-border e-commerce companies, which are small parcel express transportation, FBA air delivery, traditional sea transportation, sea additional delivery and overseas warehouse allocation and delivery. Different FBA head process logistics transportation modes have different billing methods and timeliness, so the applicable products are different. Let's understand the characteristics of different FBA head process transportation modes.

The first is international express delivery of small items. In the FBA head logistics transportation mode, the international small parcel express is characterized by fast aging and high freight. It mainly adopts the way of charging by weight. The international express freight of a kilogram of goods is generally 30-40 yuan. In addition, if cross-border e-commerce companies choose international small parcel express as the first leg transportation mode of FBA, they can enjoy the privilege of reservation-free warehousing, provided that the enterprises need to make customs declaration and customs payment in advance, and contact the customs clearance company in advance to do customs clearance work.

Air delivery in the first leg of FBA transportation is an international logistics transportation mode that combines air transportation and express delivery. Goods are first transported to the destination country by air transportation, and then delivered to the FBA warehouse by the express company. The advantage of this mode of transportation is that the aging is fast and the freight is relatively low, the disadvantage is that the busy season when the space is tight, need to book in advance. The freight of FBA head air dispatch is generally 20 yuan a kilogram, and the prescription is 7-15 days.

There are two kinds of sea transportation in FBA first leg transportation, one is general sea transportation, and the other is sea transportation. General shipping billing method is usually calculated by volume, generally about 800 yuan a cubic meter, freight is very cheap. Its disadvantage is that its timeliness is slower than that of other FBA first-leg transportation modes, and the shipping date of Marine transportation is easily affected by natural weather. Besides, it takes at least one month to clear customs, reserve warehousing and truck transportation at the end. General sea transportation is usually suitable for goods of low price, large volume and low timeliness. FBA shipping means that the goods are transported to the destination country by Matsen express ship and then transported to the FBA warehouse by express. Since there is no reservation required for warehousing by express, FBA shipping is faster than ordinary sea transportation and costs less than air transportation. It is a more commonly used FBA first-leg transportation mode.
