Many sellers are still bound by the traditional supply chain model, resulting in frequent problems such as inventory backlogs, logistics delays, and high costs. As a fulfillment service provider deeply involved in the field of international logistics, Chinadivision found that direct shipping from the place of production (Factory Direct Shipping) is becoming a new choice for cross-border sellers. Starting from the pain points of the industry, this article will deeply analyze the advantages of this model and reveal how to help sellers achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement through third-party logistics (3PL) services.
Cross-border e-commerce sellers, are you troubled by these problems?
Inventory backlog, storage fees eat up profits?
Cross-border logistics timeliness is erratic, and customers are frequently lost?
Product quality is out of control, negative reviews are flooding, but there is no way to complain?
Faced with fierce price wars, cost compression has reached its limit?
It's time to change strategies! More and more successful sellers are looking to the source - choosing to ship directly from the Chinese production site (Factory Direct Shipping). This is not only a logistics option, but also a key step in reshaping competitiveness.
What is Factory Direct Shipping?
Factory Direct Shipping means that goods are shipped directly from the manufacturing factory to customers or overseas warehouses without going through intermediate warehousing or distribution links. This model is common in:
Dropshipping from Manufacturer
Ship directly from manufacturer
Order fulfillment on cross-border e-commerce platforms (such as Amazon, Shopify, eBay)
Why is it recommended that sellers choose to ship from China?
As a global manufacturing center, China has a mature supply chain system and highly competitive production costs. Through Product Sourcing China, sellers can:
Purchase high-quality products at lower prices, quickly respond to market trends and new product development (from 3C digital products to home furnishings), support multiple modes of transportation such as air, sea, and dedicated lines, support customized needs, and use China's complete export logistics network to achieve global distribution.
Advantages of Factory Direct Shipping
Reduce costs
Avoid transit warehousing and secondary transportation, save logistics and warehousing costs, and enjoy lower freight rates through Chinadivision's centralized procurement and shipment.
Reduce links
After the goods are off the factory line, Chinadivision efficiently sorts, packs, and declares customs, and then flies directly to the destination country, greatly shortening the transit and warehousing time under the traditional model.
Speed up delivery
Factory direct shipment reduces intermediate links, shortens delivery cycles, supports multiple modes of transportation, and meets different timeliness requirements. This is especially important for products that require high timeliness, such as fashion products, seasonal goods, etc.
Higher inventory flexibility
No need to stock up in large quantities, support on-demand production and delivery, reduce the risk of inventory backlog, and support small batches to test the market, and flexibly adjust product strategies.
Strong global coverage
With the help of Chinadivision's international logistics network, it covers 220+ countries.
Support customized services
Value-added services such as labeling, packaging, and quality inspection can be completed at the factory.
Logistics optimization
Professional logistics providers (such as Chinadivision) can integrate multiple sellers' orders and provide more competitive LCL or FCL sea and air freight prices to minimize unit transportation costs.
Enhance customer satisfaction
Fast delivery and transportation time can significantly improve customer satisfaction. In addition, shipping directly from the place of production can also reduce the risk of damage to goods during transportation, further improving customer satisfaction.
