The fee structure for overseas warehouse drop shipping can be summarized as follows:
- Unloading Fee:
- Container Unloading Fee: For full container loads (FCL), the fee varies based on the container size (e.g., 20ft GP, 45ft HQ/HC), with larger containers incurring higher costs.
- Non-Container Unloading Fee: For less than container load (LCL) shipments, the fee is either based on the number of pallets or the weight of individual items for loose cargo.
- Inbound Handling & Storage Fee:
- Charged for receiving and storing goods in the warehouse, with fees segmented by the weight of individual products (e.g., 0-0.5KG, 0.5-1.5KG, etc.). The heavier the product, the higher the fee. Additional charges apply for items exceeding 30KG.
- Order Processing Fee (including Pick & Pack):
- Covers the cost of packing and preparing orders for shipment. Similar to inbound handling, fees are segmented by product weight, with varying rates across different weight categories.
- Shipping Fee:
- The cost of transporting goods from the overseas warehouse to the customer, typically handled by logistics providers like UPS or USPS. It’s crucial to use official accounts to avoid risks associated with unauthorized or discounted accounts.
- Storage Fee:
- Charged for the duration that goods are stored in the warehouse, calculated based on the square footage occupied and the number of days stored. Some warehouses offer a free storage period (e.g., 30 days), after which fees apply.
- Additional Services Fee:
- Includes packaging materials (such as shipping bags, boxes) charged on an as-needed basis. Other services like occasional inspections, unpacking, etc., may also incur extra charges.
To summarize, the charges for overseas warehouse one piece shipping cover the entire process starting from the arrival of the goods at the warehouse to the final shipment to the customer, including unloading, warehousing on the shelves, order processing, shipping, storage and possible additional service charges. The exact rates of these charges will vary according to the weight, size, storage time and services required.
