Around ten o'clock in the morning.

In his office, Wang Qiang dialed the phone from the United States.

According to the time difference, the United States should be at 10 p.m. "yesterday", which is basically not too disturbing for some people to sleep.

He is not looking for Boss Wang, mainly because he is afraid that the more he owes, the more he will be unable to refuse if Hongmen has needs in the future.

It stands to reason that Wang Qiang doesn't know anyone in the United States, but he has cooperated with so many brands, and he is more or less a little friendly, and it is not difficult to ask for a phone number.

Beep, it took a while for the phone to connect.

On the opposite side, the voice of Jack, a senior executive at Tiffany & Co., who came to Guoxing Trade to sign a contract two days ago, said, "Hello, I'm Jack." ”

"Dear Mr. Jack, I am Wang Qiang of Guoxing Trade. Wang Qiang reported to his home.

Naturally, Jack remembered him, "Oh, it's the king, and when you call me at night, do you miss me?" ”

Well, he made a joke.

In addition to praising others hypocritically, the vast majority of Americans generally have a little humor, of course, not absolutely.

"Hey, I don't covet your wife's beauty. Wang Qiang shot back.

Jack laughed and immediately said, "What are you looking for from me? Is there something wrong with the contract?"

"There was no problem. Wang Qiang communicated as much as he could in broken English, "I want to ask, is part of your Tiffany logistics handed over to the transportation company?"

"Yes, what?"

"Do you work with those transportation companies?"

"FedEx, CSX Transportation, United Parcel Service, DHL Air Cargo, Danza, etc., large freight and express companies in Europe and the United States have more or less business dealings with us, you know, we do jewelry business, and we need reliable logistics companies to help share some of the pressure of transportation and logistics. ”

Let's take a look at it.

Wang Qiang listened carefully, and pondered as much as he could in his mind, and selected a few names of express companies that were useful to him, such as FedEx and United Parcel Services, as for the German DHL Air Cargo Company and Danzag Company, although they were very strong, he could not use them for the time being.

When it comes to FedEx in the United States, everyone should know it.

After all, the FedEx advertisement on Chinese TV was still very loud - FedEx's mission must be achieved.

But when it comes to the United Parcel Service Company, many people may not understand, in fact, this company should be no stranger to people who often shop overseas, because as long as it is mentioned as soon as its English name UPS, it is estimated that many people will suddenly realize, oh, it turned out to be this company.

Yes, United Parcel Service is the world's largest courier carrier and parcel delivery company, as well as a leading provider of specialized transportation, logistics, capital and e-commerce services, but of course, it has not yet entered the e-commerce sector.

Both of these companies' courier services are second to none.

Who is better to work with?

Wang Qiang was a little hesitant, still wondering if he would make two calls and ask, and then decide.

But at this moment, Jack gave a hint, "You want to send American items to China, right?"

Wang Qiang snorted, "Yes, after all, our company's logistics has not yet reached the point of supporting the transportation between the two countries." ”

"Let me give you a brief overview of the two companies. "Jack has a good impression of Wang Qiang, and said a few more words," FedEx and United Parcel Services do not have branches and subsidiaries in China, but United Parcel Services Co., Ltd., as far as I know, cooperated with a large company in Shanghai, China in 1988, and set up a permanent office there, but in terms of strength, FedEx must be a little stronger, and also pioneered the overnight express service, it set up its first Asia-Pacific regional office in Hawaii, and moved the office to Hong Kong two years ago, in order to closely connect American and Asian customers, including Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand provide documents, parcels, and rocket delivery services, to name a few. ”

I didn't mention the United Parcel Service Company much, obviously recommending FedEx, but Wang Qiang's eyes lit up after hearing that the United Parcel Service Company had an office in Shanghai, and hurriedly confirmed: "You mean that the United Parcel Service Company has an office in Shanghai, and if I mail the package from the United States, I can go directly?"

Jack snorted, "yes, don't you consider FedEx? I have friends who are in charge of the senior in it, and I might be able to give you a lot of discounts." ”

Wang Qiang did not refuse his kindness, and said: "You give me all the phone numbers, and I will decide to find that one to cooperate with after contacting the two companies." ”

"Good. Jack said two American landline numbers, and then instructed: "If you cooperate with FedEx, remember to talk to me, and I will find my friend to give you some discounts." ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jack. ”

"No thanks. ”

Hung up the phone.

Looking at the time, it is already night in the United States, and I don't know if there are people on night duty in the two companies.

Wang Qiang hesitated, but still tried to dial the FedEx company and wanted to consult the service.

The phone got through quickly, and there was a woman's voice on the other side, a little sharp, "Hello, this is FedEx Business Development Department, I am the answering man Mengsha, I am very happy to serve you." ”

Wang Qiang immediately said: "Hello Ms. Mengsha, my name is Wang Qiang, I am a staff member of China Guoxing Trade, I want to ask, does your company provide express delivery services from the United States to China?"

"Of course it does, let me introduce you to the service?" Mengsha is very professional, and after getting Wang Qiang's affirmative answer, he immediately introduced a series of products and services about FedEx.

For example, the global expedited express guarantee service is to cooperate with the United States Postal Service to ensure that it is delivered to major cities in China within three days, and the return shipping cannot be reached, but the price is relatively high, the starting weight is 0.5 pounds, the price is 38.95 US dollars, the first pound is 58.5 US dollars, and then the price of a pound within 10 pounds is 9 US dollars, and only from 11 pounds it costs 7.25 US dollars for each additional pound.

In addition, there is a global express mail, this service from the United States mail or parcels will be transferred to the domestic EMS, that is, the post and telecommunications hand, the same limited time guarantee, from the United States to China for five days, the first pound of 28.5 US dollars, after 2 to 6 pounds of the price is 4.25 US dollars for each additional 1 pound, more than six pounds for each additional pound of 5 US dollars, the price is relatively fair.

Finally, there are Global Priority Mail and regular international delivery, which vary in price.

Global Priority Mail is $22.5 for the first pound, $4.5 for 2-5 pounds, and $3.75 for the sixth pound, but the insurance price is very expensive, because there is no upper limit for the amount of insurance exemption for this service, $2.45 for the value of $50, and $14.75 for the maximum coverage of $1222, to ensure that it can be received within ten days.

The standard of ordinary international express delivery is much lower.

The first pound is only $18.5, but the time limit may reach more than 20 days to a month, and if you don't buy insurance, the mail may be damaged.

This sentence was said vaguely by Mengsha, and the introduction was not very detailed, but the American legal system is relatively sound, and this kind of thing that should not be said must be mentioned, so she mentioned it.

After listening.

Wang Qiang was silent for a long time, and only thought of one word in his heart - expensive.

If you have to use two words to describe it, death is expensive, if you have to use three words to describe it very expensive, if you have to use four ...... Well, it's not skinny, it's an expensive anomaly anyway.

After thinking about it, Wang Qiang replied, "I'll think about it." ”

"Okay, thanks for the call, and I wish you a good night. Monsa habitually said according to American time.

End the call.

Wang Qiang sat at the desk and thought about it carefully, even the most ordinary express delivery service costs 18.5 US dollars, and it is still the first pound charge, one pound is about equal to 454 grams, that is, it is less than a catty, and it costs 160 yuan to convert it into RMB.

Although he considered the possibility of burning money when he decided to do global shopping, after hearing that the courier fee was so high, Wang Qiang still felt pain and had to find a way to reduce costs.

Call UPS and ask?

It seems that there is only this option for the time being, Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment, but still dialed the United Parcel Service Company.
