What is cross-shipping?
Cross-shipping is an innovative logistics service for online stores. Cross-shipping provides the greatest financial security for webshops, because it makes webshop logistics costs 100% predictable. It got its name from the fact that its method is similar to dropshipping: you don’t even have to meet your product to sell and make a profit in your online store. After ordering, the product goes directly from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the customer, so you can completely forget about storage costs.
It differs from dropshipping in that we pack the products in our logistics center, thus strengthening the brand value of the store.
How does cross-shipping work?
Advantages of our cross-shipping service
Minimizing logistics expenses:
It is especially important for newly started webshops to make their online store profitable as quickly as possible with little capital expenditure. In case of operating your own warehouse, you have to think about the very high amount of renting or buying the warehouse, as well as the costs of maintaining the building and paying the packaging staff. With cross-shipping, you only have to count with these fees: packaging, invoicing, delivery and the service fee.
There are no fixed costs:
Fulfillment and 4PL logistics drastically reduce the fixed logistics expenses of the webshop, since the storage fee is practically the only cost that must be financed for these forms of webshop logistics, regardless of the number of orders. Cross-shipping even surpasses these outsourced logistics solutions by having NO warehousing costs.
No shelf charge:
In the case of 4PL and fulfillment, the goods enter the fulfillment center, where the products are stored on pallets or shelves. Of course, this means costs for both parties, and it is also impossible to calculate how long storage will be needed. In the case of cross-shipping, the incoming goods are not put on the shelf at all, but the logistics processing begins immediately after the goods arrive. Since the storage phase can be avoided by cross-shipping, online stores can operate their business in an ideal system that is free of pallet space costs and shelf fees.
Lightning fast delivery:
After the product has arrived at our logistics center from the manufacturer or the wholesaler, we take care of the packaging and deliver the package to the courier on the same day. Your customer can even receive their order the next day, which is why you can increase customer satisfaction with cross-shipping.
