Common QA questions about cross-border e-commerce overseas warehousing

Q: Why are third-party overseas warehouses so cheap?

A: The location of third-party overseas warehouses is generally close to the port, with international airports with multiple routes and railway and company transport networks extending in all directions. The warehouses are self leased, the personnel are self managed, and the majority of them are Chinese.

Q: Why do foreign trade e-commerce companies need to rent overseas warehouses for a long time at a low price?

Therefore, it is particularly important to rent overseas warehouses at a low price for a long time. E-commerce companies can do a good job in product research and development, marketing and services without worrying about high warehouse costs eating up limited profits.

Off season inventory, peak season sales, no longer worry about the problem of stock explosion in peak season. This is also the main reason why cross-border sellers choose to rent overseas warehouses for a long time.
