What is the difference between international freight and international logistics?

In terms of scope, there is not much difference between logistics and freight, as all logistics objects can be goods.

However, in terms of attributes, international logistics generally refers to those international logistics companies that have their own logistics transportation qualifications, vehicles, and ships, and can engage in second party and third party logistics business; International freight generally refers to those international freight forwarding companies with strong capabilities, but they are professional third-party logistics service providers. This means that freight forwarding companies can integrate various transportation resources to meet customer logistics needs without their own vehicles and vessels.

So what is the difference between international express delivery and international logistics? The difference between international express delivery and international logistics:

1.Different sizes of transportation objects

International express delivery companies mainly transport documents, personal items, and small batches of goods weighing less than 50 kilograms. For example, various documents, bills, daily necessities, as well as small quantities of books, specialties, fruits, snacks, and other small items. Logistics companies mainly transport large items and large quantities of goods. For example, large-scale furniture, household appliances, electronic products, raw materials, large quantities of spare parts, large and medium-sized machinery, and large equipment.

2. Different service depths and standards

International express delivery companies, due to their need to accept a large number of scattered orders, must establish certain thresholds to quickly screen carriers, which results in a significant characteristic of express delivery compared to logistics, which is standardization. Due to the operating mode of express delivery companies, it is not necessary to store and transport goods for a long time throughout the entire process, so the main function of express delivery is to process and transport them as soon as possible.

One characteristic of comprehensive international logistics services is customization. Faced with the special needs of different consumers, it is necessary to provide technical solutions as much as possible to meet customer needs and design solutions for specific projects.

3. Prices and fees vary

The unit price of international express delivery is relatively high, and it is only suitable for transporting documents, small items, and small quantities of goods.

If the cargo volume is large, it is necessary to find an international logistics company. The larger the cargo volume, the more cost-effective it is to find an international logistics company. If it happens to be enough for the entire vehicle, it would be even better. Generally speaking, the economy of whole vehicle logistics is better than that of less than truckload logistics, especially in terms of unit cost.

4. Different end delivery modes

Express delivery services are very familiar to everyone. Terminal delivery is usually delivered by delivery personnel to customers, and small delivery tools such as electric bicycles can be used to facilitate and shuttle through streets, alleys, and densely populated residential areas.

5. Different stages of cargo storage and transportation

International express delivery companies generally do not have a long-term warehousing process, but instead use fast transfer warehouses for internal express delivery distribution and transportation within the region. This is also to support the characteristics of express delivery services, resulting in large quantities, high efficiency, and fast distribution and transportation.

6. Different levels of closeness with customers

International express delivery business and customers are generally responsible for the collection of packages in the corresponding area by the corresponding salesperson. For company customers, if there are fixed orders and guaranteed quantities, the express delivery company will arrange daily and scheduled door-to-door collection of packages. I am not clear about other deeper cooperation models, and I hope friends who understand them can supplement.

7. Different service targets

The main service targets of international express delivery are companies, units, and other organizations that need to deliver various documents and documents, as well as individuals who need to deliver personal items (including online shopping). For example, when you purchase things from Amazon * *, they are delivered to you through express delivery (DHL, EMS, UPS, TNT, FEDEX), rather than ordinary logistics companies.

The service targets of international logistics mainly include factories, commercial enterprises, and other units. For example, if a factory needs to transport 10 tons of goods from Xi'an to Tianjin Port for sea export, it needs to find a professional international logistics company instead of a regular express delivery company. There are also some personal items that are shipped for logistics, especially when the quantity is large, but compared to express delivery, there are not many.

8. Different delivery time requirements

From the perspective of speed and timeliness, international logistics is generally not as fast as express delivery, but it will not be much slower than international express delivery, especially for the whole vehicle goods transported by international logistics dedicated lines. Express delivery usually arrives in the morning and afternoon in the same city, and overnight or 2-4 days in different cities. If the logistics are fast, it's similar to express delivery, but if it's slow, it takes four to five days or even a week to arrive, especially in the case of less than truckload logistics. Express delivery is door-to-door, door-to-door pick-up, and direct delivery to the recipient's hands; Some logistics companies can also pick up the goods at their doorstep and deliver them to the recipient's hands, but there are also logistics companies that require the shipper to deliver to the designated logistics outlet or the recipient to pick up the goods themselves at the logistics outlet.
