It means that the seller can consolidate all the orders from a determined country in one parcel and send it to a cross docking center located in this country. When the shipment arrives, the orders will be distributed to the respective customers <strong>immediately<\/strong>, and the seller hasn&#8217;t storage or handling costs and a significant reduction in delivery time.<\/p>\n<p>This method has two important advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> The seller saves money, because international postal services are more expensive than domestic postal services. If the seller sends a lot of orders per month, the saving is considerable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quality of the shipments:<\/strong> If the seller send orders by international postal service, the parcel could be lost or not be delivered on time. This problem is easily solvable by using the Cross Docking method.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When \u00a0sellers use\u00a0<strong>Cross Docking<\/strong>, they have\u00a0two options:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The seller has the option <strong>to label the shipments before consolidating<\/strong> them into the parcel that will be sent to the Cross Docking Center. Choosing this option, the seller can print his own labels. The seller can opt\u00a0between two methods:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>By integration with the Courier\/Post: <\/strong>Seller using a EDI (<b>Electronic data interchange) <\/b>may\u00a0upload CSV files with the orders and download a CSV file with tracking numbers and PDF files with the labels. Seller also can download the tracking information. There are two types of Courier applications: Correos Express have\u00a0a program that runs in Windows only. ASM and Seur have a application on the cloud.<\/li>\n<li>Load his orders and print his shipping labels <strong>by Web Service<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The seller can <strong>send the orders without label<\/strong>. In the Cross Docking Center, the orders will be labelled\u00a0and shipped.\u00a0Here is an\u00a0example\u00a0of a\u00a0shipping label\u00a0for one of our clients, Home Health Spain:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Correos Express \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ASM \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Seur<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12680 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Correos-Express-265x300.png\" alt=\"Correos Express\" width=\"198\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Correos-Express-265x300.png 265w, https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Correos-Express.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12681 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5868-300x251.png\" alt=\"IMG_5868\" width=\"260\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5868-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5868.png 359w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12682 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5879-296x300.png\" alt=\"IMG_5879\" width=\"209\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5879-296x300.png 296w, https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5879-90x90.png 90w, https:\/\/spainbox.com\/mailboxes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG_5879.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As for shipping, the seller may choose between <strong>two methods<\/strong>: <strong>Postal service<\/strong>\u00a0or <strong>Courier Service<\/strong>, each one with its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Postal Service<\/strong> is\u00a0cheaper and slower than <strong>Courier Service<\/strong>. Tracking number will not be provided and the probability that your shipment might get\u00a0lost is higher than sending the order via <strong>Courier Service<\/strong>. This option is recomended when the order has a low value and doesn&#8217;t matter if the transit time is a bit long. The transit time is between 3 to 5 working days. The percentage of delivery on time is 96,6%.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Courier Service<\/strong> is more expensive and faster than <strong>Postal Service<\/strong>. You can track your shipment and probability of loosing the parcel is minimum. This option is recommended when the order has a high value and\/or a lower transit time is important. In Spain, we work with Correos Express, SEUR and ASM, with a percentage of delivery on time of 99%. The delivery\u00a0time usually is 24-48 hours (working days).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Probably, you are thinking: Your information is useful, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Why not send the orders by Cross Border Shipping\u00a0from my country?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you send the orders by <strong>Cross Border Shipping<\/strong>\u00a0from your country, probably you have three big disadvantages:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Cross Border prices\u00a0are higher:<\/strong> Look at this comparison between prices of domestic postal service and intra-EU postal service (data from 2013).
