Shipping, especially the first voyage of shipping, is the most commonly used and mainstream shipping method for Amazon sellers, which can complete the first-journey transportation of goods at a lower price, smoothly prepare goods to Amazon warehouses, and then control product costs and obtain more product profits. However, shipping can be specifically subdivided into Haipai and Haika, and what are the differences between the two? After careful reading, let's learn more.
1. What is Haipai?
Haipai is the abbreviation of maritime delivery, and its meaning is similar to that of air dispatch, which can be understood as shipping + delivery. That is, the first-trip transportation of goods (origin and destination ports) is shipped by sea, and after arriving at the destination, it cannot be used by sea, but instead uses commercial express delivery such as UPS and Fedex for terminal delivery, and then sends the goods to amazon warehouses.
2. What is Haika?
Haika, is the abbreviation of sea freight truck delivery, which can be understood as sea freight + truck delivery. That is, the first-journey transportation of the goods is the responsibility of the shipping company, and the transportation of the shipping company is completed after the goods are delivered to the destination port, and the truck company is responsible for the terminal delivery, and the goods are delivered to the corresponding Amazon warehouse. In simple terms, the end delivery of Haika uses truck delivery, while the commercial courier of Haipai's terminal delivery is responsible for delivery.
3. What are the differences between the two?
The difference between freight modes: There is a clear difference between the end delivery of Haipai and Haika, the end of Haipai is express delivery, and the end delivery is fast. At the end of the haika truck, the truck is responsible for delivery, and the truck delivery efficiency is low and the freight time is slow.
The difference between the billing method: Haipai and Haika have obvious differences in billing methods, Haipai uses per kilogram of billing, that is, according to the actual weight or volume of the goods, the same as other cross-border e-commerce logistics. The haika is calculated according to the cubic meter of the goods, and the freight calculation method of the two is obviously different.
The difference in the overall timeliness: The freight efficiency of Haipai is much higher than that of Haika, so there is a clear difference in the logistics timeliness of the two, taking the United States as an example, the timeliness of Haipai is about 20-30 days, while the timeliness of Haika is about 30 days to 40 days. The maximum interval between the two is 20 days, and the gap is obvious.
The difference between the receiving price: Obviously, the service of Haipai is better, and the terminal delivery capacity is relatively strong. Therefore, the receiving price of Haipai will also be higher than that of Haika, after all, a penny, a penny. The overall freight cost of Haika is low, taking the United States as an example, the price is 8 yuan / kg - 12 yuan / kg. The haipai tariff is between 9 yuan / kg - 15 yuan / kg.
The difference between delivery restrictions: In general, the weight of a single piece of haipai is limited to less than 30kg, and the length of a single piece of goods does not exceed 120 cm. In the case of Haika, there is no limit on the unilateral length and weight of the goods, and there is a clear difference between the delivery restrictions of the two freight modes.
4. How to use?
Due to its fast timeliness and high efficiency, Haipai is more suitable for cross-border e-commerce sellers to send small pieces of goods, such as sending small pieces of goods to Amazon warehouses and overseas warehouses, with small billing per kilogram and small billing units, which is more friendly to sellers. And e-commerce has higher requirements for timeliness, and Haipai is more in line with the logistics needs of sellers. The haika is suitable for larger tariff units, with each cubic meter as the unit of billing, and the billing unit is relatively large, suitable for the export of large pieces and large volumes.
Generally speaking, there are more foreign traders and export enterprises that issue sea cards, and there are fewer cross-border e-commerce. And, once too many goods are stocked, it is a challenge for the seller's funds.
