Alibaba’s shipping costs have always been very high, and now with the impact of COVID-19, shipping prices continue to rise.
Before you start shipping, you can check whether the merchant’s shipping fee setting rate is the same as the corresponding logistics company’s rate. You can know whether the shipping cost is reasonable by calculating the weight of the product.
In addition, you can also talk to the customer service directly to see if you can reduce the shipping cost, but this method is unlikely to succeed.
If you want to reduce transportation costs, you can use FashionTIY. Their transportation prices will be 40%-70% cheaper than Alibaba. Because they have a cooperative relationship with UPS/DHL, they can fundamentally reduce shipping costs and the transportation speed is faster than Alibaba fast.
