With just over 70 days until Christmas 2025, the festive atmosphere is quietly heating up in European and American markets. Google search data shows that searches for keywords related to "Christmas gift" continue to climb, with particular interest in the US and UK. For cross-border sellers, this marks the official start of the annual golden sales season.
However, seizing market share before the holiday shopping peak requires more than just product selection; it also tests supply chain and fulfillment capabilities. This year, American consumers are placing significantly greater emphasis on delivery time and logistics stability. According to a survey released by Statista, over 68% of American consumers indicate that during the holiday season, they prefer sellers who can deliver within five days. This places higher demands on cross-border merchants: how to achieve faster and more stable responses in inventory preparation, warehousing, and delivery.
Holiday shopping starts early, and sellers need to speed up accordingly.
Compared to previous years, the 2025 Christmas shopping rush will begin even earlier. Adobe Analytics data shows that nearly 30% of US consumers plan to complete some holiday gift purchases in early November. Major e-commerce platforms such as TEMU, SHEIN, and TikTok Shop are also launching pre-holiday promotions to entice consumers to lock in orders.
For cross-border sellers, this means the traditional "centralized shipping" model is no longer viable. If direct shipping from China continues, uncertain delivery times, customs clearance congestion, and high logistics costs will significantly impact conversion rates. Especially at the platform level, the semi-managed model adopted by TEMU and SHEIN has become a trend, placing stricter demands on warehouse management and local fulfillment speed. Therefore, deploying US overseas warehouses has become a key step for many sellers to enhance their competitiveness during the Christmas season.
Advantages of Overseas Warehouses: Improving Efficiency Throughout the Entire Chain, From Stocking to Delivery
Deploying US overseas warehouse allows sellers to pre-stock products in warehouses closer to consumers. This not only allows for local shipping and fast delivery during peak orders, but also allows for flexible replenishment based on real-time sales, reducing inventory risk.
The US market is vast, and the holiday shopping season is often accompanied by congestion in the delivery network. Sellers stocking inventory in overseas warehouses can effectively avoid the uncertainties of cross-border shipping, ensuring consumers receive their goods within 2-5 days, thereby increasing repeat purchases and positive reviews. Furthermore, overseas warehouses can assist with returns, exchanges, label changes, and resale, reducing losses caused by returns during peak season.
