Professional FBA Supply Chains,Forging FBA integrated service provider

Since the development of FBA Amazon’s first journey, various services and product routes are dazzling, such as: Haikuai, Haika, a variety of special lines, tax package and tariff reimbursement, Prosoda, Speed, Mason Express, APL EXXX Express , Yantian Express, for cross-border e-commerce, due to lack of understanding of international logistics, let alone remember so many product routes. In this case, many customers will only have a simple common sense: the most expensive is the fastest, and the express delivery is the fastest. The tax package is the most worry-free.

 

 

 

However, in this peak season, we have also seen various problems in actual operation, including our own experience of products that seem to be very fast on the surface. This seemingly fast product is the one mentioned above: Haikuai delivery.

 

 

 

At present, in the FBA head market, there are generally only two methods for foreign delivery. One is pallet delivery. This delivery method requires the truck company to be in the Amazon backstage and use FBA SHIPMENT ID and AMAZON REFERANCE ID to obtain from Amazon. For the delivery time period, the truck company can choose the ideal time according to the situation when making an appointment, but the final delivery time has to wait for Amazon's approval. Under normal circumstances, Amazon will give a reasonable (time slot), but sometimes Amazon will also give some weird time, such as early morning or midnight, or before nine o’clock in the morning. A significant feature of card board delivery is to make an appointment. To wait. And before making an appointment, the freight forwarding company needs to take the container from the dock --- unpack the container in the overseas warehouse --- divide the cargo - punch the card board --- send out the BOL --- contact the truck company --- make an appointment for this series of processes. For the card board delivery, it can be said that it is like a company employee who keeps his own feet and abides by all management department rules. If a customer entrusts him to do something in the company, he will steadily complete it for you in accordance with the standard process. There may not be any surprises, but it is absolutely reliable and reliable.

 

 

 

Different from the pallet delivery, there are currently many companies on the market that specialize in foreign express delivery. The appointment-free service of express companies such as UPS, FEDEX or DPD is adopted, that is, UPS and other companies pick up the goods from the overseas warehouse of the freight forwarder and go directly to the Amazon warehouse after being processed by their own sorting center. It seems that this process is simple and efficient. In normal times, there will be no problems, but once the peak season arrives, in addition to Amazon will blow up, UPS will also blow up. Thousands of packages need to be picked up, scanned, sorted and delivered every day. The error rate is extremely high, it is easy to cause lost parts, the goods are delayed for no reason, and the online status has been stagnant. At this time, if you want to query with ups, you generally need to wait 8-15 working days. If the goods do happen to be lost or damaged, it is a long process to file a claim with UPS. Therefore, we recommend that if customers choose Haikuai products, try to buy insurance just in case. For this Haikuai product, if it is to be anthropomorphized, then it is a young man who is frizzy regardless of various rules and only wants to achieve its goal in a short and flat time. Let him do things, you will get an efficient plan, but also pay for his lack of institutional awareness (such as appointments) and rude ways of doing things.

 

 

 

 Why say he is efficient and rude?

 

 

 

The well-respected Mason Clippers, because the ports of departure are only in Ningbo and Shanghai, and most of the electronic products with high requirements for timeliness are mostly in South China, which means that the goods from South China have to be shipped ashore in East China. Of course, if the goods were originally shipped It's pretty good just in East China. The goods in South China go through factory production, customers, freight forwarding company warehouses, domestic freight companies, and then to the East China port warehouses for internal loading. The intermediate goods have to go through various tossments. There are certain requirements for the outsourcing of the product. In addition, the goods must be labeled with UPS labels in the warehouse, and after such a toss, the labels are also easy to fall off. After the goods are loaded into the container and arrive at the port of destination for customs clearance, in order to pursue timeliness, the freight forwarder will directly send the entire container to the UPS. After the UPS is unloaded, it will be scanned, sorted, loaded, and then dispatched. This series of processes are standardized. Any error before stocking may lead to the loss of the goods. For example, the damaged cartons and the falling of UPS will cause the goods to sink into the sea. Finally, the endless love and hatred of customers, freight forwarders, and UPS. From the flow chart below, we can see the many twists and turns of the goods

 

 

 

However, for safety reasons, some logistics companies directly drag the cargo from the East China port to the South China warehouse for loading. If there is any remaining cargo, it will be transferred to the East China warehouse for consolidation by domestic freight. In addition, Shenzhen has also had the Yantian Clippers for a long time, and the timeliness is comparable to that of Mason. Customers in South China can enjoy the same timeliness as Mason Clippers without having to transfer their goods to East China.

 

In addition to the many cargo handling procedures, which are likely to cause cargo loss, we can look at the service category of the express company to see if the UPS delivery currently selected by everyone is suitable for Amazon sea cargo. From the perspective of normal stocking thinking, ocean shipping is undoubtedly prepared for cargo with a slightly larger cargo volume (freight). The express company (express company or courier company) has always been engaged in parcel delivery services (that is, small-ticket goods with high requirements for timeliness). This is not only due to cost considerations, regardless of UPS or other express companies. There is a volume requirement for a single shipment, and the volume requirement does not allow customers to split a large shipment into small shipments to arrange express delivery. In the current foreign delivery market, if most of the FBA goods are delivered by UPS, a single shipment cannot exceed 150LBS-499LBS-999LBS (matching according to different account numbers). UPS delivery methods will also be differentiated due to the choice of freight forwarders. UPS provides delivery options of next day, next day, or +3 day delivery. In terms of cargo types, most companies in the market currently choose ups ground and GFP services. According to UPS's own introduction to the Ground service as follows, it can be seen that ground is a way of delivering small products with guaranteed timeliness.

Since the weight requirements are not as strict as the ground, UPS GFP is the unanimous choice of almost all logistics companies that use UPS for delivery.

 

Therefore, when the customer chooses to deliver the goods by UPSGFP, the timeliness cannot be guaranteed, and because the choice is express delivery, if the freight forwarder does not choose to sign the order when placing the order, the order link in the following figure will cause damage to the loss of the goods. At the time, I couldn’t get the receipt required by Amazon.

 

 

 

 

 

PS, here is a supplementary explanation, it is necessary to pay for the receipt service, and the request must be made before shipment.

 

 

 

So, apart from the dutiful lad and the frizzy young man, isn't there a normal person? Don’t worry, what we would like to recommend to our customers again is the express line shipping products

 

 

 

When it comes to dedicated lines, many customers may be numb, such as American dedicated lines, European dedicated lines, and Japanese dedicated lines. No matter what company you can call a dedicated line, then, what kind of product should be called a dedicated line? Speed ​​Rail believes that a dedicated line must first Specially, the floor loaded delivery method of the express rail shipping line is one of the Amazon delivery methods. The container is loaded from the express rail warehouse to the final entry into the Amazon warehouse without any link in the middle. How the goods leave the customer’s warehouse is how they reach the Amazon warehouse. For the goods, it is like the owner bought a direct ferry ticket for it, and arrived at Amazon after a good night’s sleep.

 

   

 

 

 

FCL direct delivery has high requirements for cargo volume, that is, one container can only hold goods with one FBA address. At present, the FBA FBA direct delivery line opened by Speed ​​Rail has the following 20 special lines:

 

 

 

       ONT8 special line, ONT9 special line, ONT2 special line, ONT6 special line, SNA4 special line, LAS6 special line, LAX9 special line, SMF3 special line, SJC7 special line, OAK3 special line, PHX5 special line, FTW1 special line, CLT2 special line, MEM1 special line, CVG3 special line, MDW2 special line, MDW6 special line , MDW9 special line, ABE8 special line, ABE2 special line, the red font is the special line must be opened every week.

 

 

 

       In addition to the zero transfer and zero consumption of the goods, the whole cabinet direct delivery line is the most important thing is the whole process is controllable, and the logistics personnel of Speed ​​Rail will personally operate and follow up each link. The receipt can also be provided in accordance with Amazon's requirements (the following is the receipt for FTW1 delivered directly by the express railway), and customers no longer have to worry about not getting Amazon's claim due to the substandard receipt.

 

Although FCL direct delivery provides sellers with safe warehousing services, Amazon unloading often produces overtime waiting. In the United States, most truck companies only provide 1-2 hours of free waiting time, and overtime is charged at USD75-100/hour. Charge a waiting fee. The Amazon warehouse will allow truck drivers to wait for 4-10 or even longer.

 

 In addition to safety, another advantage of FCL direct delivery is that the timeliness is comparable to express delivery. Will the following timeliness make you feel incredible?

 

With so many channels, which one is more suitable, I hope that the majority of sellers can make rational logistics choices for their goods through this article.
