On the experience of retailing logistics in foreign trade

Currently doing foreign trade http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/32448.html "> online retail people are more and more, many are personal Soho or small team are doing, because most people are just starting this business, So a lot of places are going to go wrong. Especially in logistics, often because of carelessness or lack of experience caused great losses. So today we are going to talk about the problem of logistics and freight.

To do the freight well, we can do some preparation first:

(1) The computer equipment, the network is equipped not to repeat.

(2) A printed output device (Basic laser or inkjet printer).

(3) Good and suitable packing material.

(4) Digital camera, the delivery of photos.

(5) scales, tape measure.

(6) sufficient courier or post office waybill, barcode stickers, form tickets, customs declaration, etc.

(7) Retain their own shipping information to provide shipping evidence

Conditional can be equipped with needle-type printer, convenient for you to print waybill, freight labels and so on. This is more efficient and more accurate. Again conditional can be equipped with bar code printer, so you can create barcode labels and barcode database to manage warehouse invoicing, more convenient, intuitive, effective; the bar code can be used to manage customer information, employee information.

Shipping more sellers, barcode scanning gun should be required, to send the goods to make a record, to facilitate your future inquiries, after all, we can not guarantee that every piece of goods go out without problems, never need to inquire. Of course, if you have or plan to use bar code management, then this tool is even more indispensable.

We all know that the delivery is very simple, wrapped, fill the waybill, to express or post office on the line. But in order to keep your transaction safe, you can spend a little more time to save and back up your shipments, and if there is any problem, you can provide the relevant evidence and proof at the first time, and don't rush it. Below are some foreign trade countries express delivery management experience:

(1) Create a file for each buyer who deals with you, as mentioned earlier, by creating a database is the easiest way to do it, but if your business is not that much, use World or Excel.

(2) You should at least record when the item is sold, the buyer's username, delivery date, waybill number, etc., so as to facilitate inquiries.

(3) Before packaging, packaging, after the good luck, you can take a few photos to spare.

See there must be a lot of people will say that every day so many goods how can be photographed? Yes, it's impossible to shoot every piece. Therefore, we should pay attention to identify some countries and users need to focus on prevention. For example, some of the more troublesome countries of the buyer, you can take a shipping photo, such as suddenly buy you a lot of items, you can shoot, such as the amount of large, you can shoot, such as very anxious to continue to urge you to ship, you may also take pictures of goods and freight photos. These photos are not like a product picture, requiring light, color, exposure speed and so on, as long as the picture is clear enough.

(4) Scales and tape measure. The scales are of course used to weigh your goods, we all know that when the goods are shipped the actual weight and volume weight, take the large to calculate the freight and insurance costs, and the tape is naturally used to measure the size of the outer packing of goods. The actual weight of the goods you can directly see the scale of the display value, volume weight calculation formula = Long cm* wide cm* high cm/6000.

I think all the time when the delivery of goods to reduce the weight, the lighter you will save money, or better to declare a little bit of weight, the freight company or post office, regardless of the best, so that the freight is good to save some. Of course in the post office directly weighing words, you can only fill in the actual, and some sellers are shipped through the agency, such as EMS is the first weight of 500 grams of billing, more than the part of the price to continue to charge, sometimes we will exceed some, many people will only fill 480, 490, 500 grams, And agents are a large number of goods together clearance, more than a little, we each other weight above the past, which helped us save money is a good thing. But imagine if this happens, your buyer after receiving the goods that you sent him is an empty box, or that there is not all the things, you have less hair! At this time you said that you have sent, he said he did not receive, this diverging case, the picture of the delivery, accurate fill in the weight and size of the items, will give you the opportunity to provide accurate and effective shipping evidence.

Of course, we are flexible, if the freight company can in a moderate range allows us to fill a little less weight, can help us save a little bit of money, thank them, we also le it. Or above mentioned, you should pay attention to identify some suspicious buyers, targeted choice focus on dealing with some transactions.

(5) After the shipment, the relevant shipping documents please do not casually throw, if the goods need to go to the Post Office/logistics company inquiries or a buyer to check the case, complaints, you need to provide the appropriate documents as a valid shipping evidence. We are at least 6 months or so, we recommend that you need to keep at least 60 days, PayPal's refund is 60 days, and so the time has passed, you can casually handle.

(6) After delivery, it is recommended that you send a letter to your buyer sent a message, directly through PayPal send message is better, tell the other party delivery time, waybill number, inquiry website, estimated arrival time. If you have the time, you can in PayPal related transactions submitted a number, these actions can be safe for your transaction security role, but also let your buyers peace of mind, so that they have a good freight time to expect.

(7) PayPal to accept the tracking of the logistics number, after delivery can be added to the PayPal mailing number, easy to follow up buyers.

It is true that there will be such a problem in shipping, so the more complete your work, the more comprehensive your protection, and for some bad buyers, see you so meticulous, not easy to find loopholes, he would like to do mischief will first assess his chances of doing so how many.
