3.客户要求集中合并出货

集中出货需要,二程运输,一般需要一个物流人员进行打包寄送,人工成本会增加(美国的平均公司是中国的4倍左右)。

集中合并出货,订单金额会增加,订单金额超出800美金会产生关税,同时集中合并出货清关速度更慢。

集中出货,表面上节省了一定的物流费用,但会拉长交付时间。集中出货会比Drop Ship的运输时间长3天左右。互联网时代,从2G\3G\4G\5G,速度一直在提升,消费者对于速度的要求也越来越高,快速交付体验是一种趋势,甚至有人夸张地形容“Customers would like to receive today’s orders yesterday.”。

集中出货的产品多数是比较杂的,有直喷有热转,直喷产品的生产时间短,热转的长,所以很容易发生直喷的产品生产好后需要等热转的产品都好了才能一起出货。只要订单内的某个产品没有生产好,那么这个订单就无法出货,比较容易产生延迟的情况。

In the short term, when combining the orders, you can save the shipping cost. However, when considering in a long run, you may find it may weaken your competitiveness in the market.

First, for combined orders, you need to repack and reship them after you receive the order, so a staff for packing and shipping is needed. That is to say, besides the domestic shipping fee, your labor cost will also increase ( the average salary in the US is about 4-5 times higher than that in China).

In addition, the total amount of the order will increase when combining all orders together. And tariff will be incurred when the total amount excels $800. Also, the customs clearance for combined orders may be slower than that of small orders.

Also, when you need to combine several orders, it will prolong the lead time and according to the data on our system, we find the delivery time will be about 3 days longer than the direct drop ship to customers. So it means combined orders for shipping will increase the time costs.

In the time of the Internet, from 2G to 3G, 4G, and 5G, the speed is faster and faster. And in the meanwhile, customers now have a much higher demand for fast delivery and efficiency. Someone even exaggerates this phenomenon with a quote that “Customers would like to receive today’s orders yesterday.”

At last, when you combine different orders together, some may be direct printed while others need to be dye sublimated,

As we all know, it usually takes longer time for dye sublimation than direct digital printing. When you combine orders of different printing methods together, you need to wait for shipping until all orders are ready. Under this situation, the lead time for most orders will be prolonged to some extend.
