? 1. Transport services
The freight forwarder is a "non-vessel-operating carrier", which means that the freight forwarder is an intermediary between the shipping company and the cross-border sellers. However, because the freight forwarder has certain qualifications, he can directly sign a contract with the shipping company to obtain a fixed shipping space. Many cross-border sellers want to contact the shipping company directly. Although the shipping company is cheap, it has high requirements for the cargo capacity and can't meet certain standards. It is more cost-effective to find a freight forwarding company.
2. Warehousing services
Powerful freight forwarding companies will provide warehousing services at home and abroad. Because the sailing schedule and flights are fixed, there will be some delays in the peak season. The seller delivers the goods in advance, and the goods will be temporarily stored in the domestic warehouse. When the seller needs overseas warehouse transfer or return, the logistics provider can provide overseas warehouse service. The best way to enhance the strength of spot agents is whether they can provide overseas warehouse services.

3. Virtual overseas warehouse
Virtual overseas warehouse is a special existence. It shows local delivery on the platform, but it is actually sent to domestic destination countries. To display local deliveries, you need to connect to the local warehousing system. This operation can only be completed by a freight forwarding company that owns or cooperates with overseas warehouses.
Step 4: Double clean the door.
Many people don't understand the meaning of pun on the door. Pun refers to customs clearance service and door-to-door refers to door-to-door delivery service. But many freight forwarding companies cooperate with customs clearance companies in customs clearance business. When the seller can't contact a reliable customs clearance company or the goods are small, it is most appropriate to choose the double customs clearance door-to-door service.
