E-Packet: The best logistics choice for cross-border e-commerce sellers
As cross-border e-commerce is growing fast, sellers have shifted their focus to how to deliver goods to the international buyers in the most cost-effective and efficient way. As a standardized, cost-effective, and high-speed international express service for small packages, ePacket logistics has become the first option of many sellers who sell across the borders due to the benefits of its low price, trackability, and extensive coverage.
What is E-Packet?
E-Packet is a mini package logistics solution dedicated to e-commerce across the borders. It has initially been introduced by China Post and the United States Postal Service so that Chinese sellers could have quicker and more cost-effective logistic procedures. Currently the service has been extended to most countries worldwide, inclusive of Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany, among other nations, and the service also offers full tracking options so that the buyers can know the status of the order at all times. E-Packet also offers a service where sellers can deliver small packages of less than 2 kilograms at a reduced freight rate.
Advantages of E-Packet
- Low cost, high cost performance
E-Packet freight rate is lower as compared to international express delivery like DHL and FedEx, and it can be applied to goods with relatively small profit margins like accessories, mobile phone cases, small electronic items, etc. To the sellers, lowering the cost of logistics has the effect of lowering the prices that are offered, which results in higher order conversion rates. - Faster delivery time
E-Packet is not as fast as commercial express delivery, but it is faster than traditional international parcels, which are normally delivered within 7-20 working days, depending on the destination country and the speed at which customs are processed. The result of this medium time delivery is that buyers are ready to wait patiently and there is less risk of orders canceling as a result of non-receipt of goods over a long period.
- Full logistics tracking
The conventional small parcel delivery procedures do not have logistics tracking, and this means that the buyer does not get the order status. E-Packet is fully tracked. With the logistics order number, buyers can monitor the package progress in real time from shipment from China to the destination, which promotes the shopping experience and customer satisfaction.
- Suitable for light and small goods
E-Packet has an upper limit of 2 kg (some countries have 3 kg) that is highly appropriate for light and small commodities, including clothing accessories, cosmetics, small electronic goods, etc. This helps the cross-border e-commerce sellers to effectively control inventory and adapt logistics plans.
Which sellers are suitable for ePacket?
E-Packet is certainly a perfect logistics solution in case you are an AliExpress, eBay, or Shopify seller or an independent site and sell small goods most of the time. It is able to make sure that logistics costs are manageable and the time of delivery is shorter and reliable so that your cross-border business becomes easier.
