To help merchants go global and "grab orders", Cainiao AliExpress's worry-free logistics has reduced prices by up to 30%

At the beginning of the new year, a new round of overseas exhibitions and sales nodes are gradually opening up, such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the United States , and Valentine's Day, which global merchants cannot miss. In order to seize the opportunity, many cross-border merchants have begun to prepare for the new year and test new products.

Recently, in order to help cross-border merchants "grab orders" overseas, Cainiao announced that it would reduce the logistics costs of some routes of the AliExpress platform's Wuyou Logistics, covering markets such as the United States, France, Spain, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. The reduction ranged from 5% to 15 %, with the highest being nearly 30%. Chinese brands and Chinese manufacturing will have greater competitiveness when "grabbing orders" overseas.

After seeing the notice, one AliExpress merchant said, "Another good news for the New Year! The price adjustment comes just in time, especially for some light-weight products with fast delivery time, which can be delivered to consumers faster with multiple pieces of free shipping, so as to boost sales during the Spring Festival."

According to estimates, if a wig merchant in Zhengzhou, Henan, has a package of about 400g and sends it to France through 51 Logistics - Priority, the logistics cost will drop by about 30% after the price adjustment , to more than 20 yuan. In addition, Cainiao has recently optimized the collection of 51 Logistics-Priority. Starting from January 13, merchants in Guangzhou , Shenzhen , Dongguan , Hangzhou , and Jinhua can enjoy the express network collection, which will speed up the timeliness by 1-2 working days.

The core 15 countries covered by Cainiao Wuyou Logistics - Standard have all seen price cuts. For example, in the Brazilian market, the logistics costs of hot-selling shirts and T-shirts made in China, with a single package weight of about 200g , have dropped by about 10% after the price adjustment , while the package weight of domestic Bluetooth speakers, which is around 500g, has dropped by about 15%.

According to data released by the General Administration of Customs, China's total import and export value in the first 11 months was 38.34 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.6% year-on-year , of which exports were 21.84 trillion yuan, an increase of 11.9% . According to incomplete statistics, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Hainan, Shandong and other places have organized foreign trade enterprises to go to Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Japan and other places to help enterprises go overseas to "grab orders" and expand international markets.

"With the continuous development of cross-border e-commerce, merchants' demand for cost-effective and highly certain logistics services is increasing. Cross-border logistics has become the key to China's manufacturing and brand expansion overseas. Cainiao hopes to help companies improve the success rate of 'grabbing orders ' and reduce the cost of 'grabbing orders ' through digital logistics services . " Su Yu, head of cross-border solutions for Cainiao International Express, told reporters that Cainiao will continue to build global logistics infrastructure, upgrade international logistics "end-to-end" fulfillment services, and continuously optimize the timeliness of logistics fulfillment.

In addition, in order to help cross-border merchants have a worry-free Chinese New Year, Cainiao and AliExpress have provided special guarantees for cross-border logistics, and will provide additional capacity guarantees in terms of collection, distribution, consolidated transportation and trunk transportation to ensure the normal operation and delivery of merchants during the Spring Festival. At the same time, preferred warehouses, overseas warehouses, etc. will maintain orderly operations, and merchants can prepare goods in warehouses in advance.
