Will next-day delivery fundamentally change the business model of cross-border e-commerce?

[metoc15411]

Live Commerce has released the DHL international shipping plugin
. This release has a huge impact on the business model of cross-border e-commerce.

The reason is that when it comes to overseas shipping, most people probably think of Japan Post's EMS. Basically, there are almost no post offices in Japan that don't handle it, and anyone can easily use it by simply writing the overseas address on a simple label, and even eBay, the gateway to overseas sales, is linked to EMS shipping label printing, so EMS has been the mainstream method of overseas sales up until now.

While the advantage is that it can be easily used at a nearby post office, EMS international delivery is known to take around 3 to 7 days, which is significantly longer than the average delivery time for users who are accustomed to online shopping.

DHL offers unparalleled speed, with deliveries to Asia the next business day and to European and American countries the day after.



Although DHL has had this competitive logistics infrastructure netherlands whatsapp data for a long time, it has always been a distant presence for cross-border e-commerce sellers like us. I think the reason for this is the complicated management screen (which is very difficult to use) and the amount of work required to ship. Also, although DHL has an API, it has not been integrated with even the major carts, apart from Amazon and eBay. It is said that up until now, DHL has been used more for general B2B trade, rather than as a solution for online shops. (From a DHL sales representative)



That's why we've now released a plug-in for international shipping provided by DHL for Live Commerce. With this release, you can now complete the entire process, from collection to label creation and invoice creation, on the Live Commerce order management screen, without having to use the DHL management screen at all. This eliminates the need for complicated work, and allows you to take advantage of DHL's highly competitive logistics in just a few easy steps.

The biggest benefit is that next-day delivery is now possible even with a cross-border e-commerce business model, and products can be delivered with DHL's logistics quality up to the last mile, which means that Japanese sellers can now be competitive with local sellers overseas .
