3. Matters needing attention
All cross-border e-commerce users need to choose a suitable logistics method according to their own product characteristics. For example: bulky items (furniture) are not suitable for postal parcels
Secondly, it is necessary to flexibly use different logistics modes in the off-peak season, which can effectively reduce the logistics cost. For example: in the off-season, choose China Post parcels to reduce costs; in peak seasons or during big promotion festivals, choose a logistics method with fast timeliness
Finally, it is necessary to provide different logistics methods for customers to choose independently to enhance the shopping experience
