The hidden rules that transshipment companies won't tell you —— Talking about the factors that affect the transshipment speed of Haitao.

The routine process of Haitao transshipment: the transshipment company signs in, the warehouse registers, packs, leaves the warehouse, waits at the airport, flies back to China, clears customs and delivers goods at home. The whole process is long and complicated, and there is a problem in one link, which directly makes you wait for more than ten days. As an old bird who has worked hard in Haitao for 6 years, let me talk to you about the factors that affect the speed of each link.

1. Warehouse registration

During the peak season, due to the fixed number of operators in the transshipment warehouse, the limited workload and the sharp increase in the volume of goods, the storage of parcels will be delayed. Delay in prescription is a trivial matter, and what is more worrying is the whereabouts of the goods. The courier shows that it has been half a month since the goods were received, and the transshipment warehouse has not shown the warehousing. Are you afraid of losing parts? I will not pay for all the transshipment and lost parts that I have used, without exception! ! If the seller is a big merchant like Amazon, it is no problem to give you a refund without saying anything. The reality is that most merchants don't deal with the lost goods sent to the transshipment address. In this case, you can only eat dumb losses and admit it yourself. I have to say that at this point, the processing speed of large transshipment is not as good as that of small transshipment. Moreover, it is also important to find a transshipment with a fixed consignee.

The packing operation of the original container out of the warehouse has little time difference between large transshipment and small transshipment, and can be basically completed in 1-3 working days. If you meet someone who hasn't cleaned up for a long time, ask customer service in special circumstances. Not much to say, skip.

The focus here is the container closing operation. Most foreign shopping websites have a common problem. Orders are delivered separately. In order to save the first cost, the container closing function came into being, and many transshipment services will use this service. Sadly, this kind of packaging out of the warehouse involves the problem of multiple packages being put on the shelves. If one of the packages is not on the shelf, the other packages in the box will not be packed out of the warehouse. In addition, it is common to pick up goods from the shelves and inspect them in the warehouse for ten days and a half. The terrible thing is that slow warehousing and slow sealing are basically concurrent. If the container is forcibly closed during the slow warehousing period to save freight, then ... the operation of the transshipment warehouse is enough for you to wait for a month. In this case, the strategy is 1: it will be much faster to find a transshipment with a slightly smaller business volume; Strategy 2: The original container is out of stock! The original box is out of storage! Otherwise, some people will wait.

This is a prescription for reposting. You can search at will, and search similar posts one by one. Facts have proved that the speed of container closing is a pain point that many transshipment cannot solve. I hope that one day transshipment can optimize the process and solve this problem completely.

Deliver goods from the warehouse

Many friends will say that they all pay for the same thing at about the same time. Why did someone else leave the library so soon, and mine hasn't been sent yet? Is it the false propaganda of the water army?

I mean, no! In fact, the reason is that transshipment companies rarely have customs clearance qualifications, and they basically contact customs clearance companies for customs clearance. Considering the cost, the customs clearance company will require that the proportion of each kind of goods should not exceed a certain amount, and the transshipment company is not willing to sacrifice its own profits. Or due to customs requirements, the structure of a single type of goods will be identified as malicious container shipment for non-self-use, resulting in the water meter being checked. After all, the cross-border e-commerce and personal postal services adopted by the current transshipment companies are essentially small package customs clearance channels limited to personal use. Therefore, when arranging delivery, the transshipment company will control the proportion of goods. Once there is any explosion, when the whole network sells wildly-for example, the shoes that were madly fried a while ago, and the Estee Lauder gift package released every Black Friday, they will all pile up in the transshipment warehouse, waiting for other groceries to leave the warehouse in batches.

In addition, general transshipment will be delivered to the airport at a fixed frequency. It's normal for a slightly large-scale transshipment to be delivered to the airport 2-3 times a week. Below this frequency, it is difficult to guarantee the delivery time. Of course, the frequency of delivery to the airport is also related to the flight arrangement at the airport. If it is a customs clearance port in Hong Kong, Guangzhou and Beijing, there are many flights, and bulk cargo transshipment can even be arranged once a day; If it is a remote destination customs clearance city, even if the transshipment company is diligent, it is likely that it can only wait for the flight with a fixed frequency to take off.

The flight home

In addition to the aforementioned flight frequency, there are also weather factors and connecting flights that affect the timeliness of air transportation.

The weather factor is actually very understandable. If you dare to fly in bad weather, God will let you give it to the Muwa people.

Some people say that I can understand a delay of one or two days. How can it drag on for ten days and a half? It's also very simple. The goods are delayed, and so are the passengers on the plane, aren't they? Then you must arrange for the passengers to fly away first. As soon as passengers and luggage are fully loaded, the goods will be taken back. In addition, the number of freight flights is also fixed, and the load is also fixed. Everyone's goods are overstocked. The first batch is arranged to fly first, and the latter can only queue up slowly. This is the same as a series of accidents on the expressway. It takes more than ten hours to clear the traffic jam.

There are many transshipment companies that don't show the flight trajectory, but only show the take-off and landing. It seems that they flew for four or five days, which is unacceptable to everyone, even if they crossed the eastern and western hemispheres. In fact, it is because freighters basically don't go directly to customs clearance ports, and most of them need to change planes, even three or four times. Every transit needs to tally goods and arrange flights at the local freight station, so it is normal to fly for four or five days to reach the destination.

clearance

In most cases, the speed of customs clearance is the most direct factor affecting the receipt time. As mentioned above, many transshipment companies entrust this important link to a third-party customs clearance company to operate on their behalf, and the speed depends entirely on whether the customs clearance company can give strength. It is much more reliable to find a transshipment company that can clear customs independently. In addition to ensuring the speed of customs clearance, such transshipment companies have a better understanding of the customs wind direction and can better follow up even if there is an abnormality. As a matter of fact, there are also customs clearance companies in the market that have already started to receive goods for transshipment. Generally speaking, those who can clear customs within three days have a good speed.

Domestic delivery

It is the most worry-free link. It can be delivered in three or four days in remote areas of Xinjiang and Tibet, but it is certainly better to have SF. I haven't survived in front of SF for so many days. One day or two is not bad, is it? But remember, be sure to inspect the goods, and find customer service immediately if you have any questions!

On the whole, the time from the warehouse to the hand is limited to 15 days, while the time limit of 10 days is the explosion of people, and more than 20 days is equivalent to failure. The self-use party still demands higher speed, and it is anxious to wait. If it is a purchase, it may not matter. I'd rather spend less money and wait for a while. I suggest you drink more water. The speed, price and service of each transshipment are different, so you should choose according to your own needs.
