Why do daily necessities sellers need to drop ship from US overseas warehouses?
Although the profit unit price of daily necessities is not high, it has a large order volume, many SKUs, and consumers are sensitive to timeliness. High-frequency replenishment and fast turnover are the key to operation. However, traditional overseas direct mail logistics has many shortcomings:
Unstable logistics: long direct mail cycle, sometimes customs clearance delays, evaluation and customer experience are affected;
Complicated return and exchange processing: high cross-border return costs, long processes, and poor user experience;
Large inventory pressure: sellers need to prepare a large amount of inventory to deal with orders, otherwise it is easy to run out of stock;
Difficult cross-platform operation: multiple platforms operate simultaneously, orders, inventory, and reports are scattered, and labor costs are high.
The one-piece delivery + US warehouse model just solves these problems: local shipments, controllable timeliness; localized return processing; flexible inventory replenishment; system docking improves operational efficiency.
