Ship Happens: What You Need to Know Before Going Global

Listen Later

Are you thinking about scaling your business to the next level, especially in the e-commerce space? 🚀

Let's talk about international shipping and fulfillment. 🌍 Expanding globally isn't just about strategy—remember what I always say, #FckStrategy—it's about having the right systems in place.

Before you dive into global expansion, take a hard look at your current setup. The three key areas to focus on are:

  1. Inventory and Location Management 🗺️
  2. Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) 📦
  3. 3PL vs. In-House Fulfillment 🤝

    4. Ask yourself:

    • Do you have warehouses strategically placed to handle international markets? 🏬
    • Are you clear on how customs fees will impact your customers and how your team will handle these inquiries? 💰
    • Is it more efficient for you to handle fulfillment in-house or outsource to a 3PL? ⚙️

      • These aren't just strategic decisions; they’re operational imperatives. If your ultimate goal is global expansion, you need systems that align with that ambition.

      Stay tuned—we'll dive deeper into these topics throughout the week. ✨
