Cainiao launches consolidated shipping service in the US, with online Chinese products arriving in as fast as 5 days

Satisfying the homesickness of overseas Chinese is a powerful consumer force in cross-border e-commerce .

According to data from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, there are currently about 60 million overseas Chinese in the world, mainly concentrated in North America, Southeast Asia, Europe and Australia . In addition, China is the world's largest source of international students, with hundreds of thousands of Chinese students going abroad for further studies every year. Overseas Chinese and international students still retain their domestic consumption habits. They not only pay attention to domestic trendy topics and are familiar with domestic social networks, but also prefer to buy daily necessities online from Chinese e-commerce platforms .

In this context, as one of the largest overseas Chinese communities in the world, the United States has also seen a new wave of online shopping for high-quality and cost-effective Chinese products, which has given rise to a large demand for package consolidation between China and the United States. Recently, Cainiao announced its official entry into the U.S. consolidation market, providing more stable and reliable e-commerce package consolidation services to millions of overseas Chinese and international students in the United States , helping "overseas travelers" to safely ship their online shopping goods to the United States.

The so-called consolidated shipping refers to a cross-border logistics method that combines orders from multiple e-commerce platforms or multiple stores into one package, and then transports them uniformly from the consolidated shipping warehouse to overseas. "I buy clothes and daily necessities online from China every month, but the consolidated shipping market is mixed and it is easy to fall into traps. I will give priority to cross-border logistics companies like Cainiao that are already well-known in China." Carina, who lives in Los Angeles, said that domestic e-commerce platforms have rich categories and low prices, which are more in line with Chinese aesthetics and usage habits. The emergence of consolidated shipping logistics just fits the differentiated online shopping needs of overseas Chinese and relieves their homesickness overseas.

In order to allow overseas consumers to enjoy the same online shopping logistics experience as in China, domestic cross-border logistics companies are also constantly improving their services and experience . In recent years, Cainiao has launched consolidated shipping services in some countries and regions, providing high-quality experiences and convenient products such as compensation for late lost or damaged packages, multilingual customer service, and CAINIAO APP (overseas version) . According to the relevant person in charge of Cainiao's overseas shopping export logistics department, in the US market, Cainiao provides two major consolidated shipping products: air and sea. Air freight products focus on timeliness, and can be delivered in as fast as 5 days after being shipped from the consolidated shipping warehouse . Sea freight products have the ultimate cost-effectiveness, and the lowest freight for individual group purchases is only 1 or 2 yuan.

It is understood that Cainiao is the world's largest cross-border e-commerce logistics company , providing cross-border express delivery, overseas local express delivery, cross-border consolidated transportation and other types of services. In terms of consolidated transportation alone, Cainiao has served nearly 10 million overseas Chinese , including the United States, Australia and other countries .
