Is it better for beginners to do cross-border e-commerce self-delivery or overseas warehouse delivery?

Whether the seller chooses self-delivery or overseas warehouse for delivery, it needs to be considered according to its own situation. Under normal circumstances, self-delivery has high control over its own inventory, and occupies less inventory funds. Sellers can manage their own inventory in a timely manner, and will not be out of stock easily, but the biggest disadvantage of self-delivery is that there are restrictions on the size of the product itself. Generally, domestic self-delivery is only suitable for small package direct mail. Larger sizes are not suitable for self-delivery.

For overseas warehouse delivery, in fact, the freight forwarder packs the seller's goods and sends them to designated overseas warehouses, and provides one-stop warehousing services such as goods warehousing, commodity sorting, commodity packaging and delivery. If there is an order, the third-party overseas warehouse can respond quickly, sort and pack the seller's inventory and arrange the local international express company to deliver the product to overseas consumers.

Of course, the flexibility of using overseas warehouses is more flexible than self-delivery, and it can quickly deliver goods to buyers, greatly improving users' shopping experience, and at the same time providing a series of overseas warehousing services. Direct access to local resources in Europe is a good choice for sellers with large shipments.
