As one of the most developed countries in the Middle East, Israel's e-commerce market has been at the forefront of global cross-border markets with an annual growth rate since 2016, becoming a favored "blue ocean market" for cross-border sellers.
2023 is the seventh year for Uspeed to enter Israel, and we have been moving forward. Our business scope has expanded from the initial single Israel special line package to the four major businesses of Israel special line package, Israel Air+Sea Delivery, Israel overseas warehouse, and Israel return shipment. Our service system is also gradually improving. Looking back on the journey of struggle, it is not an exaggeration to say that Uspeed has written a "history of cross-border logistics development in Israel" with solid steps.
In 2016, Uspeed's "Israel Special Line Packet" was launched
Turn the clock back to 2016. At that time, Israel had gradually overcome the constraints of "lack of accurate street addresses, consumer preferences for face-to-face interaction, and the need for cash on delivery". The potential of Israel's cross-border e-commerce market was beginning to emerge and urgently needed to be explored.
The founder of Uspeed, with a keen sense of the international market, targeted the cross-border e-commerce market in Israel and quickly established Youshipai cross-border logistics in Shenzhen, the "China Foreign Trade Paradise", fully developing the "Israel Special Line Small Package" business.
At that time, the international express delivery business market between China and Israel was still in its early stages, and was subject to significant limitations in terms of timeliness, price, and frequency. With the nearly 20 years of resource accumulation in the Israeli foreign trade field by its parent company Unitex, Uspeed has continuously invested in logistics systems, cabin resources, customs clearance processes, and other aspects, aiming to create the most competitive Israel dedicated small package business.
Seven years have passed, and now the "Israel Special Line Small Bag" from Uspeed has become one of the leading cross-border logistics services in Israel in China - capable of receiving general/pure electric/sensitive goods, with a self operated clearance team, with a minimum package capacity of 100 grams and a 6-8 working day delivery time. Bring excellent Israeli cross-border logistics experience to Israeli cross-border sellers with appropriate prices, fast delivery, and high-quality services.
From 2017 to 2021, Israel's air and sea faction and overseas warehouses fully opened up their firepower, and their self operated Qing faction demonstrated their strength
After the stable operation of the dedicated line small package business, the business of Israel Air and Sea Express and overseas warehouses has gradually been included in the business consideration of Uspeed. According to market research analysis by Uspeed, although the small package dedicated line has a fast speed, it cannot meet the increasingly hot demand for large-scale cross-border goods in the Israeli cross-border market. We need to "double track" international express delivery business and international air sea logistics business.
Therefore, based on the manpower, equipment, and agency resources and experience accumulated by the previous small package dedicated line, Uspeed not only established cooperative relationships with multiple airlines and shipping companies to secure sufficient space and advantageous prices, but also significantly expanded its air sea customs clearance and delivery capabilities, gradually establishing support for general cargo, sensitive cargo, and pure electric cargo, providing full cargo aircraft, full container, LCL, and personalized sea land air intermodal transportation, dual clearance to door DDU, Support the Israeli air and sea delivery business system for door-to-door delivery throughout the territory.
2021 is an important turning point for Uspeed. Israel's domestic customs clearance and terminal delivery are all transferred to the sole responsibility of RunnerExpress, the Israeli self operated company of Uspeed. Therefore, in 2021, Uspeed officially announced the completion of the full chain cross-border logistics business line construction of Israel's air and sea delivery, self operated customs clearance, and terminal delivery to stores/doors, becoming a complete cross-border logistics service provider in Israel.
Previously, due to incomplete control of customs clearance and terminal delivery in one's own hands, some business details of Uspeed could not be fully controlled, and there were errors in customs clearance and terminal delivery. In 2021, Uspeed is determined to establish a dedicated Chinese customs clearance and terminal delivery team to regain control of its business. On the one hand, it will ensure the timeliness of customs clearance, the tips for dealing with customs, and the difficulties of customs clearance for various products, in order to fully improve the quality of self operated customs clearance; On the other hand, we will focus on building terminal delivery, vigorously laying out delivery points throughout Israel, and improving delivery timeliness and convenience.
Afterwards, the construction of Israel's overseas warehouses became even more natural - providing safe, efficient, and cost-effective cross-border logistics solutions from domestic procurement to terminal delivery. With high-quality and efficient one-stop services for the first tier warehouse, in 2022, Uspeed successfully reached a strategic cooperation with Cainiao, becoming the only partner of AliExpress Home Warehouse and Cainiao Official Warehouse in Israel, further enhancing its visibility in the industry.
In 2022, the "Israel Return Movement" emerged in good time
With the deepening development of the global e-commerce market, the consistently high return rate and the resulting "return difficulties" in cross-border business have attracted more attention from sellers and platforms. It is reported that the overall return rate of Israeli cross-border e-commerce platforms is as high as 30%. Uspeed has been rooted in the Israeli cross-border market for many years, it is well aware of the difficulties faced by many sellers in return and return issues. Finally, in 2022, it is time to seize the opportunity to enter the global return field in Israel and establish a global return system covering 20 countries/regions.
The difficulty of returning goods lies in whether an intelligent return system has been established, with professional return survey capabilities, and a strong logistics system. After more than a year of system development and operational debugging, the global return business of Uspeed was successfully launched before. Provide local and international transportation services in the form of small/bulk/bulk cargo for sellers with return shipping needs.
Continuously improving and striving to become the first cross-border logistics service provider in the Middle East to reduce costs and increase efficiency
After entering the Israeli cross-border logistics market and gaining a firm foothold, Uspeed has gradually broadened its vision to the entire Middle East region by "leading from one point to another". It has successively set up special line package, air sea+dispatch, overseas warehouse, and global return business systems in Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates. While expanding its own scale, it has always put the mission of cost reduction and efficiency increase first.
7 years of development, never disappoint the original intention. In Israel, and even in the entire Middle East region, Uspeed has embarked on a pioneering path for Chinese companies, and we will surely broaden this path and become the best assistance for many cross-border sellers to go to Israel!
