Amazon logistics tips to avoid pitfalls!

Amazon logistics tips to avoid pitfalls!


In the past two years, cross-border e-commerce has developed rapidly, and the Matson Express is very popular in the US shipping. However, there are many invisible pitfalls in cross-border logistics. Today, let's talk about the pitfalls of freight forwarding and teach you how to avoid pitfalls.



What is Meisen?


Specifically refers to the MASON transportation mode used in the first-leg shipping service from China to the United States during FBA transportation, which only takes 11 days.


The itinerary is: from Xiamen (Monday) Ningbo (Tuesday) Shanghai (Wednesday) - a total of 11 days to reach Los Angeles, USA


Three major labels: fast voyage, fast unloading (because the ship is small, the minimum is 2500t and the maximum is 3600t, more than 1000 containers), fast container pickup (24 hours, dedicated terminal, external yard pickup, no appointment required)




The difference between regular ships and overtime ships



The terminals in the United States are different. The regular ship CLX is at an independent terminal, and the overtime ship CLX+ is at a public terminal. But there are also overtime ships that call at independent terminals. In comparison, the regular ship's delivery time is about 7-10 days faster than the overtime ship (delay factors such as port congestion are not included). Oakland Mason CCX This was just launched last year. The ship from Shanghai to Oakland will generally stay in Oakland for 2-3 days and leave for Long Beach Public Port. The voyage is about 3-4 days slower than the regular ship of Mason. Time-limited delivery is the time-limited delivery of the regular ship, but there is compensation for time delays for time-limited delivery, but there is no compensation for time delays for regular ships.




Query Method



The shipping price of Meisen is divided into regular, overtime and time-limited. As a result, many unscrupulous freight forwarders accept the goods at the price of the time-limited delivery, but use the overtime ship. Here is how to distinguish the authenticity.


1. Follow “Messen Shipping” on WeChat


2. "Business Inquiry" → "Shipment Download"


3. Download to desktop


4. After the goods are loaded into the container, ask the freight forwarder for the ship name and voyage number to start matching.

Of course, the subsequent actual sailing, port arrival, container unloading and container pickup can also be matched with the container number.

5. Final Summary

1. Determine whether overtime is in progress based on the ship’s departure time (accuracy rate 40%, based on the impact of the epidemic)

2. Determine whether the ship is working overtime based on the ship name and voyage number provided by the freight forwarder (accuracy rate is 99.9%, based on the accuracy provided by the freight forwarder)

3. Determine whether the ship is working overtime based on the ship name and voyage number on the customs declaration (accuracy rate 99.9%)

4. If you are a complete novice, you can only rely on the freight forwarder's rhetoric (the accuracy depends on the freight forwarder's character).
