Which is More Cost-effective, the Dedicated Line Door-to-door Parcels to Europe or the Traditional Express Parcels?

Dedicated line parcels to Europe door-to-door service VS traditional express parcels:

Shenzhen Yufengda Global Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd. provides customers with one-stop logistics services for cross-border small parcels sent via dedicated line to the door, including front-end cargo consolidation, in-warehouse operations such as repackaging, export customs declaration, dedicated line transportation, overseas customs clearance, transit and distribution, and last-mile delivery. The price of the shipping channel for parcels is an important factor affecting the customer experience and the competitiveness of sellers. Currently, there are four common models for double-clearing small parcels to Europe:

1.  Direct mail and direct purchase through cross-border e-commerce platforms using the international postal direct purchase model. It features low cost but slow delivery time.

2.  Export transportation, customs clearance and delivery are completed through international commercial express companies, such as traditional parcel delivery companies like FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. The four major international express services cover more than 200 countries & regions around the world, with fast delivery time but relatively high cost.

3.  Dedicated line logistics refers to the process where freight forwarders consolidate goods from different manufacturers or procurement locations into the warehouse, disassemble, reassemble or reorganize and reinforce the packages, and arrange point-to-point transportation routes to balance the cost and delivery time. Dedicated line logistics includes air freight dedicated lines, sea freight dedicated lines, railway & land transportation dedicated lines. During the shipping operation process, freight forwarders may use a combination of multi-modal transportation channels.

4.  Overseas warehouse model: Generally, goods are transported to the destination by air or sea in the first leg. After customs clearance and payment of duties, the goods are picked up and taken to the overseas warehouse for deconsolidation and then distributed to customers. By taking advantage of the flexibility and convenience of overseas warehouses, goods are stocked in the target market in advance to shorten the convenience experience and delivery time between sellers and buyers.
