Assess proximity to key transport links, warehouse footprint and ceiling height, automation and WMS capabilities, carrier integrations for parcel and LTL, bonded/customs options for cross-border flows, SLA performance history, and value‑added service availability (kitting, returns). Prioritize partners that report measurable KPIs and support seasonal scalability.

Changping’s access to expressways, intermodal rail, and nearby air facilities shortens first/last mile times and enables mixed-modal routing to reduce costs. Higher carrier density offers competitive freight rates and multiple pickup windows, improving delivery reliability and lowering expedited shipping spend for regional and national lanes.

Key services include bonded warehousing and customs clearance, SKU-level inspection, labeling and rework, kitting and subscription fulfillment, returns processing and reverse logistics. Compliance capabilities—customs brokerage, export documentation, and quality inspection protocols—reduce cross-border delays and exception handling costs.

Compare storage and throughput pricing (per pallet, per pick), surcharges for peak handling, inbound/outbound handling times, minimums, and contingency capacity. Require clear SLAs for order-to-ship times, accuracy, and on-time delivery with defined penalties or credits, and validate with historical performance reports and seasonal reference accounts.
