Quick Start for aliexpress

Before posting

Recently, a large number of friends have asked me a lot of questions about aliexpress or some people who have just started aliexpress. I think this is a good trend, indicating that the market for cross-border e-commerce is maturing, the related supporting items will become more and more perfect. But it also shows that the competition will be more intense than ever.

I would like to answer all the questions patiently for my friends one by one, but obviously there are too many questions. Some even never thought about. In the process of answering and learning, I remembered that when I first started to explore aliexpress, I wanted to have a senior who could answer my questions. So I had an idea, I want to write a Quick Start manual about the problems that a newbie will encounter, so that all friends who wish to become aliexpress can have a dictionary and sometimes consult it.

I. International Logistics knowledge

The name looks very big, but it is not that complicated.

Aliexpress's delivery of seafood is divided into three categories: small packets, express delivery, and leased line.

Air Mail)

The parcel belongs to the postal system. Because of the protocol of Wanguo post, it has the widest coverage and can be used there. The disadvantage is that it has a poor timeliness, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and may cause packet loss.

Here, I will explain what a small package is. The small package can be known as a small package. In principle, it is a package smaller than 2kg, because of its different regions, it is divided into small packets from different countries, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, and Sweden. If you have a small package, you will naturally have a large package. If you have a large package (Air Parcel), you can send more than 2kg packages. In fact, there are size restrictions for small packages. You can consult the forwarder or check it online.

Each packet has its own advantages. For more information, you can consult the forwarder in detail. Here I want to say the most basic and simple thing for new friends, that is, it is cheap to go to China mail, available in Hong Kong and Singapore, Singapore can carry battery packages. China mail is not as good as a thousand packets, but it is our first choice because it is cheap.

Commercial Express)

There is nothing to say about express delivery. You should know about domestic express delivery, but international express delivery can be sent overseas across the ocean.

There are actually some things to pay attention to, but new users don't have to worry about that much. Even if you use it, the relevant requirements are also described on aliexpress.

Special Line)

The leased line is actually an express train to a certain country. The validity period is guaranteed and the price is cheaper than commercial express delivery. sellers who have requirements for specific products or customer experience can use it, generally, large freight forwarders have their own leased lines in specific countries.

Online Delivery

In fact, the online delivery is through the aliexpress partners directly place a ticket on aliexpress, send the goods to the warehouse, and the warehouse will go abroad.

Offline delivery

Offline delivery means that the seller's friends find the forwarder and the forwarder will help us ship the goods.

Online Delivery and offline delivery have their own advantages. Generally, we use express delivery to go online and small packets to go offline. Because of the scale advantages of express delivery, the price of express delivery can be very low and cost-effective. Because of their different capabilities, offline forwarder gets different discounts from the post office, but it is usually cheaper. Another point is that aliexpress didn't make a small packet before, but now there are some areas that can also go online.

Shipping

It can be said that there is no free shipping on aliexpress. Shipping is the key and has a lot of impact. The first one is the customer's willingness to purchase because the International Transportation Freight is generally expensive, if the customer sees that the price of the product is much lower than the freight rate, you can think about it and the willingness to purchase it will be much smaller. Of course, this is also based on different products, there are still some differences, but I recommend you free shipping, lessons learned.

As for how to calculate the shipping price, this is the most widely asked question. Here I will only talk about one of the simplest ones. If your products have a good profit and light weight, then you can directly mail it all, regardless of the country, the product ranking is good. If you really want to separate them, I will support everyone in Brazil, because Brazil is the second largest customer base of the platform, and the freight is also relatively expensive.

Formula:

USD price = (domestic product purchase price + domestic freight) + (product weight * 110) + 8) * discount) * (1 + profit margin)/0.95/6

The product weight is calculated by kg. 8 is a small package registration fee, and the discount is for the forwarder. The profit rate is set by yourself. It is recommended that the discount be no less than 30%, if the platform fails to survive, 0.95 is because the platform has to charge 5% of the service fee, and 6 is an exchange of RMB and USD.

By the way, you can search for the price table from the experts.

Shipping Template

My advice for new users on how to set the shipping template is to set the price according to the above. If the price is higher than that of Brazil, it will not be sent directly. Which countries are higher than Brazil, this can be used by the forwarder. There are standard tables. Haha, there are so many things to be used by the forwarder. So, my friends, it is better for the forwarder. It is useful in key cases.

Template setting process:

This is almost the case. I will not elaborate on the specifics. If you still don't understand it, you can go to aliexpress's logistics service to learn.

Shipment Process

New friends, after registering the platform, you can start to find a forwarder friend. For more information about shipping, forwarder friends will be very enthusiastic about it.

When the delivery arrives, see whether to take the parcel or take the express delivery, go offline or go online. Offline is the simplest, packed, pasted with the above ticket, and sent to the forwarder. All the subsequent tasks are handed over to the forwarder. The ticket number sent by the forwarder should be filled on the platform. The shipping is successful now. Wait for the customer to receive the goods happily, and then confirm that $ is in your hands.

Integrated Waybill
