Cross-border e-commerce express delivery mainly includes traditional express delivery, centralized delivery, international express delivery, and overseas warehouse storage.

The first is traditional express delivery, which is postal parcels. This model is the most mainstream mode of domestic cross-border e-commerce. Because of its wide coverage and many express delivery points, it is a more convenient logistics method. However, this model still has disadvantages, because the timeliness of this logistics is too slow, which greatly affects the user experience and restricts the development of e-commerce.

The second method is centralized shipment, which means transporting the goods of buyers in one place to that place through air transportation, and then delivering them through local companies.

Personalized product packaging: After receiving the goods through the cross-border e-commerce platform, you can arrange the packaging and customer service yourself, so you can use personalized packaging to distinguish yourself from your competitors. You can also write a thank-you letter for the customer based on the customer's country and customs, etc., thereby increasing customer stickiness and reducing customer returns.

Strong operability: There is no need to pile up a large amount of goods overseas, and there is no overseas warehousing pressure. International express delivery can be arranged according to the orders on the cross-border e-commerce platform, and the customs clearance speed is also relatively fast.

In general, if you do cross-border e-commerce at home, you can choose the self-delivery model. That is, find a logistics company to send international express. The disadvantage of this method is that the logistics cost is relatively high.
