A recent policy update in Amazon's backend has triggered a large number of negative reviews. Sellers are actually required to ensure that replenishment shipments can be delivered within 30 days , which has caused crazy complaints among our seller group! Let’s first take a look at this controversial change, which has been heavily opposed by sellers and looks familiar at first glance. The first half of this announcement was actually revealed in early January, and we also wrote at the time that shipments that were canceled or deleted may be refused entry into the warehouse after April. However, shipments that have been sent but whose delivery plans have been closed by Amazon due to timeout (90 days) can still be entered into the warehouse normally. However, after Amazon released the official announcement, there was an additional second half of the content, and the most controversial one was the last one. “Please communicate with your carrier to ensure your shipment arrives at the address on the FBA box ID label as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days.” The authorities are kidding, right? Even before the pandemic, many shipping channels could not deliver within 30 days. Moreover, the pandemic has slowed logistics everywhere, and there may be various emergencies. Amazon's request is absolutely unrealistic. However, the official wording here is vague, using "may cause delays", which means that the shipments that arrive at the warehouse 30 days later may be further delayed in the steps of listing and entering the warehouse, which is not a very serious consequence. Amazon's previous policy was that the warehouse might refuse to accept the cancelled shipments, but there are still a large number of sellers who are aware of the risk and send them, but in fact, very few are rejected. So this "possible delay" is really not a deterrent, so don't worry too much. Amid the many changes caused by the epidemic and platform crackdowns this year, there have been constant voices of pessimism in the cross-border circle. So has anyone succeeded this year, and how can we adapt to this post-epidemic era? Our old friends have focused on 7 people in the cross-border circle to see their achievements and gains in 2021. It turns out that they are all cross-border "experts"! Looking back at the past year, there have been many events in the cross-border e-commerce circle: more advertising methods have been introduced on the Amazon platform, global supply chain costs have soared, independent websites have been highly sought after, and emerging markets have flourished... Chinese cross-border e-commerce sellers are in this rapidly changing industry, facing both opportunities and challenges. As the Lunar New Year approaches, LianLian International has launched a special series titled "Because I Believe, I Choose" and invited 7 old friends of LianLian to tell us their stories in 2021. Among them are sellers, lecturers, and industry service providers. Their common feature is that they chose LianLian because they believed in it, and because of the good choice, their 2021 was full of gains. 01 From the first million to the Nth million, this is how he did it In 2018, Mr. Huang ended his catering business after 6 years, and with 250,000 yuan in his pocket, he resolutely moved from Wuhan to Shenzhen, starting a cross-border company from scratch, and embarked on a new journey of cross-border e-commerce. In 2020, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic disrupted his original plan, but under great pressure, Mr. Huang insisted on one thing: no layoffs or salary cuts, and even raised salaries for employees after resuming work. At the end of that year, they earned their first million. Competition in the cross-border e-commerce industry is becoming increasingly fierce in 2021. Mr. Huang, who has been working hard on Amazon's US site, is ready to transform and set his sights on the Mercado Libre platform for the Mexican market. "Every new market deserves serious attention." In the process of selling, modifying, and "creating", Mr. Huang's business on the Mercado Libre platform is getting better and better. In 2021, Mr. Huang, who chose to open up a new track, made his Nth million. (In 2021, the company expanded from an initial team of 4 or 5 people to more than 30 people) In 2019, when Mr. Huang started his business, his company got on track and he found that as a startup company, the cash flow must be fast. After comparing various payment tools on the market, Mr. Huang chose Lianlian that year and became a Lianlian user. "Lianlian's arrival time is really fast. It usually takes 3-5 minutes from Lianlian account to bank account; the exchange rate is open and transparent, based on the exchange rate of real-time bank transactions; you can directly use bank card quick payment to complete VAT payment; the platform and currency are relatively complete, and the company can open new platforms and new blue oceans at any time; it is very safe to use and the service is very considerate. Once our company's European account encountered a second-instance problem, I found Lianlian's account manager, who immediately helped us solve the problem and provided bank flow certificates."
Now Mr. Huang has become a loyal user of LianLian. As the company grows bigger, Mr. Huang pays more and more attention to the security of the company's funds. "The security and compliance of payment tools are the top priority for us now," Mr. Huang said. He believes that LianLian is one of the best in the industry in terms of security and compliance. In particular, after seeing the news that LianLian has obtained payment-related licenses in all 50 states in the United States, Mr. Huang feels that this is a manifestation of strength. 02 A mother started a business while raising her baby and turned the tide in one year In 2018, Beima did two major things in her life - getting pregnant and having a baby and starting a cross-border e-commerce business. She was very grateful for her family's support and understanding, and her cross-border journey began in this way. She thought the birth of her baby would disrupt the rhythm of her career, but she didn't expect that this career would allow Beima to spend more time with her baby. (After putting the baby to sleep at night, I started learning about cross-border e-commerce) 2021 is a tough year for independent sellers like Beima. Rising shipping costs and brand protection have caused Beima to encounter many challenges on the Amazon platform. In order to share risks and reduce product development costs, Beima plans to open up the Southeast Asian market in 2022. Not only that, Beima has also registered trademarks in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and other markets to be fully prepared for 2022.
In 2018, Beima, who was still a novice in cross-border e-commerce, became a Lianlian user on the recommendation of a friend. Three years have passed in a flash, and Lianlian is no longer just a payment tool for her, but more like an old friend in the cross-border industry. "I read Lianlian's official account articles every day, and see the stories of other sellers, new industry information, etc., especially the recent video account content is also very interesting. When I read these, I feel that Lianlian is by my side, very close and kind to me. Just like when I plan to open a new platform next year, the first thing I will think of is using Lianlian's one-click store opening." Now Beima's little princess is 3 years old, and her cross-border e-commerce career has entered its fourth year. Lianlian has accompanied Beima's growth all the way, and she has also witnessed Lianlian's progress. (The baby has grown up in the blink of an eye) 03 It took us less than 2 years to go from 0 to 100,000 customers As a one-stop VAT compliance service provider in the cross-border e-commerce industry, Eurotax has been exploring how to promote the compliance development of the cross-border e-commerce industry through intelligence and digitalization since its establishment. Relying on its intelligent and numerical platform advantages, Eurotax has greatly shortened the communication and waiting costs of the traditional tax agency model. High-quality products and service experience have enabled Eurotax to develop rapidly. According to Han Shasha, the Eurotax platform was officially launched on February 6, 2020. As of December 2021, Eurotax has served more than 100,000 cross-border merchants, and 180,000 tax numbers have been issued.
Talking about the cooperation with LianLian International, Han Shasha smiled and said, "At that time, we had a client who had to pay taxes and the time was tight, but he did not have the corresponding currency reserves, so we took the initiative to contact LianLian. LianLian quickly helped our client complete the currency exchange, paid the taxes in time, and solved this problem. It was through this opportunity that we began our cooperation with LianLian."
Han Shasha said that in the future, Eurotax will work with Lianlian International to continuously optimize the processes of cross-border payment and tax payment, bring more convenient and humane service experience to the majority of cross-border sellers, and help cross-border sellers set sail overseas. 04 Seizing the opportunity, we are determined to build China's largest cross-border logistics ecological service network Founded in 2015, Global Lida is committed to providing customers with reliable, high-quality cross-border logistics solutions. After years of innovation and development, Global Lida has grown into a cross-border logistics supply chain integrated service provider with an international vision, perfect technical support, and collaborative development with users. At the beginning of 2021, Global Lida joined LianLian International's service provider alliance ("Lianxiang Plan"). The two parties jointly launched a closed-loop payment solution for cross-border logistics, and cross-border sellers can directly use the overseas funds in the LianLian account to pay Global Lida's logistics costs. Luo Yujie said, "This cooperation model is a win-win for Global Lida, LianLian International and sellers. LianLian International is licensed and compliant, and its funds are subject to bilateral supervision by domestic and foreign institutions, which can effectively reduce sellers' operating risks and costs and optimize capital turnover. At the same time, sellers can use highly transparent path tracking and efficient abnormal parts processing and feedback systems to grasp logistics dynamics in real time." When talking about her experience of working with LianLian, Luo Yujie was full of praise. "In the past year, LianLian International has always paid attention to every little thing in the cooperation, implemented the cooperation content with a professional and careful attitude, and promoted the steady progress of new projects. In the future, LiDa Global will achieve full coverage from point to chain with LianLian International, helping cross-border sellers reduce costs and increase efficiency." Thank you for choosing LianLian to be your partner on the cross-border journey. With this trust, let us embark on a new journey together in 2022! |
