Since the beginning of the year, cases with the theme of cross-border company fraud have been flooding the WeChat Moments, such as fraud in the name of agency operation, fraud without source of goods, and fraud by setting up shell companies. Recently, the big news of a cross-border company setting up multiple shell companies to make money has once again swept the cross-border circle, and also exposed more "shameful operations" in the cross-border chain that are hard to guard against.
This company was reported for setting up multiple shell companies to raise money
You want high returns, but the scammers are after the money in your pocket. A seller revealed that *Fanxuetang, under the name of a regular company, spreads false propaganda everywhere, specializing in teaching novices to do cross-border e-commerce. The tuition fee ranges from 5,988 to 10,000 yuan, and it is guaranteed that you can learn it and make a lot of money by managing the store for one or two hours a day.
They lied that the company had government support and tuition discounts; that they had established overseas warehouses with hundreds of thousands of products, and that sellers could use the overseas warehouses permanently for free; that they could make a profit within 15 days, and that many sellers made more than 200,000 yuan a month. With these gimmicks, many sellers rushed to become leeks, and it is known that more than 100 sellers have been deceived.
But the reality is that the company's information does not match the publicity, the business address is frequently changed, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau cannot find it, and the process is watered down after the contract is signed. They have changed their sock puppets many times, and the names of the publicity include *Hua Cross-border, *Nuo Cross-border, *Lingzhiyuan, etc. The sock puppets behind them are Beijing *Hui Enterprise Management Development Co., Ltd., Xiamen *Feihang Culture Communication Co., Ltd., *Lingzhiyuan (Beijing) Education Consulting Co., Ltd., etc.
At present, many sellers have united to report the company.
The above problems are just the tip of the iceberg of the chaos in the cross-border industry. It is not difficult to find that there are thunderstorms in the industry almost every once in a while. As an indispensable link in the cross-border chain, logistics has always been subject to thunderstorms due to the low entry threshold and intensified industry competition. Overseas warehouses that sellers just need have become the hardest hit areas.
"The overseas warehouse lost my goods worth 100,000 yuan, but they were only willing to compensate me 2,000 yuan," said a seller. Coincidentally, there are also sellers who complained that their goods were lost by overseas warehouses, but they only compensated one-tenth of it, saying that it was lost by logistics and they were just paying on their behalf.
As we all know, the loss of goods in overseas warehouses is a relatively normal phenomenon. However, when many sellers go to argue with overseas warehouses after the loss of goods, some service providers may execute according to the compensation terms, but more service providers are unwilling to compensate.
A seller who uses an overseas warehouse said that he may face the risk of losing his goods. According to the owner of the overseas warehouse he cooperated with, the goods were disposed of by the landlord because he failed to negotiate with the landlord. However, the overseas warehouse owner did not intend to compensate. Currently, there are more than 10 sellers using the overseas warehouse, with goods worth about 100,000 to 1 million yuan.
In this regard, some sellers bluntly said: Those who often lose goods are small warehouses. As the amount of goods in overseas warehouses has decreased since this year, the disadvantages of some small warehouses have become increasingly apparent, and phenomena such as stealing goods, selling warehouses at low prices, and running away have emerged one after another. Coupled with the rising rent and labor costs, many small and medium-sized overseas warehouses are facing the risk of bankruptcy.
"Our warehouse in the eastern United States is 10,000 square meters. Half of it has been empty since the beginning of the year, and at its peak, it was 70 to 80 percent empty," said an overseas warehouse seller. Some small and medium-sized overseas warehouses are even unable to operate and are trying to find good large warehouses to acquire them. In contrast, you will find that the main business of small overseas warehouses is relatively single. They only do warehousing, consignment or FBA re-labeling business, but large overseas warehouses often have more advantages in full-process services and refined services.
Unlike the booming cross-border e-commerce market in the past two years, when sellers' orders skyrocketed and overseas warehouses were in short supply, sellers could only choose small warehouses to solve the problem of warehousing goods. Since the beginning of this year, the market has cooled, and most sellers are seeking a better service experience, choosing to cooperate with large overseas warehouses with higher cost-effectiveness, risk resistance and comprehensive service capabilities.
As storage capacity is cut again and again, a large number of sellers embrace overseas warehouses
"The storage capacity has been cut again and again. Last week there were only 6,000 left, and this week there are only 2,000. I'm really impressed. Does anyone have any reliable overseas warehouses to recommend?" a seller asked on a social platform.
There are many sellers who have expressed the same opinion below the question. One seller said that more than 1,000 stocks were cut in a week, and the storage limit only allowed a replenishment of nearly 10,000. 42 cubic feet, but if more than 1,000 were shipped, it would exceed the limit. Now the replenishment quantity is cut without limit. Are they forcing customers to use AWD?
In the view of sellers, the platform is slashing and AWD's automatic replenishment is not timely. It is better to find a better overseas warehouse to cooperate with. They believe that compared with Amazon's FBA, overseas warehouses also have many advantages↓
Goods can be prepared by group shipment, which saves sellers logistics costs and stimulates sales growth; Sellers can track the delivery status of goods throughout the entire process, and consumers can easily return or exchange goods, improving their shopping experience; It is convenient to stock various commodities, and they can be directly distributed by local logistics. The first leg of import will go through normal customs clearance process, which not only reduces the operation process and customs clearance obstacles, but also shortens the delivery time and reduces the rate of damaged and lost packages. The centralized transportation model of overseas warehouses breaks through the restrictions on commodity weight, volume and price, helping sellers expand their sales categories; …
The natural advantages of overseas warehouses also make them stand out among many logistics forms. Many sellers have also tried to enter the overseas warehouse market. However, according to feedback from some sellers, it is not easy to find overseas warehouse partners with strong financial resources and outstanding business capabilities.
The editor learned that SLM-Warehousing (hereinafter referred to as SLMW) is the overseas warehouse business of SLM, focusing on large-item dropshipping for more than 7 years. The company has comprehensive indicators for the assessment of listed companies. Its current customers include the top furniture sellers in East China, the top listed companies in South China, and the top listed companies in Central China. It has many years of overseas warehouse experience and a good reputation.
In terms of cooperating logistics providers, SLMW has signed contracts directly with FedEx and UPS, and is committed to delivering the most affordable and high-quality goods in Asia to American consumers with the best logistics services.
At a time when the US overseas warehouse market is currently sluggish, many warehouses are busy with subletting and transferring, while SLMW's overseas warehouse business is still in a stage of rapid development. Currently, the US warehouse has opened a new 100,000 square feet warehouse in Los Angeles, which has been put into use. As of now, SLMW already has a 250,000 square feet warehouse in Los Angeles.
It is reported that SLMW has established warehouses with more than 1,000,000 square feet in five cities in the United States, focusing on setting up warehousing and distribution centers in multiple cities to implement the principle of nearby delivery to ensure that end consumers receive packages as soon as possible and improve consumer satisfaction.
To ensure accurate and error-free cargo operations, SLMW also uses a comprehensive warehouse management system (WMS), standardized operating procedures, and a multi-post self-inspection mechanism to reduce the error rate. The current contract error rate is 0.1%, and the warehouse error rate is 0.05%, which is lower than the market error rate, and the daily fulfillment rate and SFP current execution rate have reached 100%.
Considering multiple factors including experience, reputation, cooperative logistics providers, warehousing scale and warehousing management system, SLMW is undoubtedly the first choice for sellers when choosing overseas warehouses.
