What is the difference between international express and special line?

The difference between international logistics and FBA special line is still unclear to many novices in overseas trade. Today, I have sorted out some differences between international logistics and special line for you. You can understand it.

International logistics line

The international dedicated line is actually a logistics channel from the seller's address to a specific country. the

1. Advantages. Logistics will concentrate a large number of goods to the destination, and then reduce product costs as much as possible through economies of scale, so the price is lower than commercial express delivery. The international special line is faster than parcel mail, and the packet loss rate will be lower. the

2. Disadvantages. The freight cost ratio of international special line logistics is higher than that of postal parcels. The area where products can be shipped is very limited. Poor customs clearance ability. the

International Express

Express delivery covers a wide area, referring to express delivery and logistics business between two or more countries (regions). the

1. Advantages. China's import and export air freight business, customs declaration, inspection, insurance, cargo packaging, warehousing, door-to-door service, cargo tracking business, and "sea and air" combined transport to all parts of the world. The timeliness of logistics is strong, the degree of product protection is high, and the ability to clear customs is strong. the

2. Disadvantages. Compared with other international transportation methods (international parcel, special line, etc.) international express delivery is very expensive. Especially for individuals and small businesses, there are no discounts at all.

Service depth and standards are not the same. Since international express companies need to accept a large number of scattered orders, they must set certain thresholds to quickly screen carriers. This has resulted in a major feature of express delivery compared to logistics, that is, standardization.

Restrictions vary. In terms of timeliness, international logistics is slower than international express delivery, but not much slower. The same city express will deliver in the morning and arrive in the afternoon. It will be overnight in different cities or arrive within 2-4 days. If the logistics is fast, it is similar to ordinary express delivery. If it is slow, it will take four to five days or even a week to arrive, especially for less-than-truckload logistics. the

Express delivery is door-to-door, door-to-door pick-up, and directly delivered to the recipient; some logistics can also pick-up at the door and deliver to the recipient, while others require the consignor to deliver to the designated place or the consignee himself to pick up.

It is actually necessary to choose an excellent logistics company, which can save a lot of trouble and cost in the process of overseas transportation. If you want to know more about international logistics, please contact us.
