With the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce today, the issue of returns has become an important
challenge for sellers. Reasonable calculation of overseas return shipping costs can not only help sellers control
costs, but also improve customer satisfaction. This article will analyze in detail the composition of overseas return
shipping costs and introduce how U-Speed global return shipping service provides convenient solutions for
cross-border e-commerce sellers.
1. Composition of overseas return shipping costs
Overseas return shipping costs are mainly divided into three parts, each of which has an important impact on the
final cost. The following is the specific cost composition:
1. Express delivery costs for overseas consumers to return goods to the warehouse
When the buyer decides to return the goods, he first needs to bear the express delivery costs of sending the goods
back to the warehouse. This cost is usually paid by the consumer, but in some cases, the seller may also choose to
bear part or all of the costs to improve the customer experience. The level of express delivery costs mainly depends
on the following factors:
Shipping distance: The distance from the buyer's location to the return warehouse directly affects the shipping cost.
Package weight: The weight and volume of the package will affect the express delivery cost. Heavier or larger goods
usually have higher shipping costs.
Express company selection: Different express companies have different charging standards. Sellers can choose the
appropriate express service according to their own needs.
2. Warehouse processing fees after arriving at U-Speed return warehouse
After the goods are returned to U-Speed's return warehouse, a series of warehouse processing is required, and this
part of the fees usually includes:
Return quality inspection: Check the integrity of the returned goods to determine whether they can be sold again.
Counting and recording: Count the returned goods to ensure consistency with the system records.
Refurbishment and repair: Damaged or defective goods may need to be refurbished or repaired.
Labeling and relabeling: In some cases, the labels of the goods need to be replaced to meet sales standards.
U-Speed provides a 21-day free warehouse rental service, allowing sellers to reduce storage costs and improve capital
turnover efficiency during the return processing.
3. After the warehouse processing is completed, the courier fee for re-issuance or the destruction fee
After the processing is completed, the seller can choose to re-send the goods to the market, or destroy them when they
are not suitable for re-sale. The corresponding fees include:
Re-issuance courier fee: re-send the processed goods to the buyer's address, or send them to a new sales channel. This
part of the fee is usually similar to the first return express fee, and is still affected by the shipping distance, package weight
and courier company.
Destruction fee: For goods that cannot be resold, sellers may need to pay destruction fees. These fees usually include goods
processing, environmental protection disposal and other fees.
