Save the sellers! This fee is sky-high...

This year has been a really hard year for cross-border sellers. Previously, Amazon’s US and European sites limited the number of shipments to 50 regardless of whether the account was new or old, which made many sellers very worried. Now, the skyrocketing logistics costs have become a thorn in the sellers’ minds .......

A few days ago, sellers in the seller group reported that the US site has returned to normal and can ship normally. Moreover, even new links can be shipped normally!

However, European sites are still restricted, but they are expected to be restored soon.

As soon as the news came out, many sellers started to rush to contact freight forwarders to frantically ship and replenish stocks. The originally excited hearts were completely disappointed after seeing the air freight prices...

Thinking of the previous EUB freight surge, many OEM sellers said they lost money on every order, so they simply set their stores to " holiday mode "...

However, air freight is not only expensive, but also timeliness is not guaranteed. After all, sellers rush to ship goods, and some big sellers ship tens of thousands of goods at a time. At this time, there may be logistics congestion. Then, there is a high probability that there will be a queue of warehouses, which will affect timeliness.

Recently, DHL sent an email to sellers regarding the adjustment of the Emergency Situation Surcharge (ESS) - effective May 24. The specific email information is as follows:

In view of the significant impact of the new coronavirus on the global air transport industry, in order to continue to provide you and your customers with high-quality and stable services, DHL Express launched the Emergency Situation Surcharge (ESS) in early April.

The charging mechanism will be changed from a fixed amount per ticket to a per-kilogram charge.

Considering the recent extremely tight air freight capacity, logistics prices are expected to continue to rise. Therefore, the editor would like to remind all sellers to consider the cost and timeliness when creating a replenishment plan. You can use a combination of air and sea freight to reduce costs as much as possible.
