2, The process of transferring and delivering goods
Receiving goods: The starting point for transportation and delivery is receiving the goods. This usually occurs in the warehouses of manufacturers, suppliers, or wholesalers. When receiving goods, it is necessary to conduct detailed inspections and records to ensure that the quantity, quality, and specifications of the goods are consistent with the order.
Goods sorting: After receiving the goods, it is necessary to sort them. The purpose of sorting is to distinguish goods from different destinations and transportation methods for subsequent transfer and distribution. The sorting process typically uses automated equipment and software to improve efficiency and accuracy.
Transit of goods: Transit is an important link in the transportation and delivery of goods. When the goods cannot be delivered to the destination through direct delivery, transshipment is required. Transit usually occurs at logistics centers or transfer stations, where goods are reloaded onto different modes of transportation and continue to the next destination.
Goods delivery: After the goods have been transferred, they need to be delivered to the destination. The delivery process may involve multiple modes of transportation, such as trucks, trains, airplanes, etc. During the delivery process, it is necessary to ensure the safety and timely delivery of goods, and minimize transportation costs as much as possible.
Goods Receipt and Feedback: After the goods are delivered to the destination, they need to be signed for and feedback provided. Receipt is the process of confirming that the goods have been delivered and delivered to the consignee, while feedback is the collection of the consignee's evaluations and suggestions on the goods, in order to improve logistics services and increase customer satisfaction.
