7Fulfillment in town - Let's take your Shopify store to the next level!
7Fulfillment was started as a fulfillment company last year in May. I did affiliate marketing for more than ten years so I know all the in's and out's of the industry.
As a native Chinese, I was born and raised in China. It's all about social skills when you run a business in China.
Why should you work with us?
1) Great logistics deals -
Be it bribing these shipping company managers with cool gadgets, slapping their faces with dollar bills, or just taking them out for a fun night - We have built some pretty amazing relationships with the top shipping companies - ePacket, SF Express, 4PX, YanWen and YunExpress, these are pretty much the major players.
2) We DON'T rip you off -
We pay a whopping of $20k A YEAR for a 13000 square feet place that we use as offices and warehouses,and we pay our packers $2.5 per hour(AND THAT'S DECENT HERE). What does this mean? Our deals are better than those fulfillment companies that are located in Shenzhen/Yiwu/ZheJiang as they pay at least three times more on rent and labor. They will eventually make all these costs back by ripping you off.
3) Proper fulfillments in a timely manner -
We are pretty good at what we do - we fulfill your orders within 24 hours from the moment the orders are placed, and you'll see tracking status within 24 hours. Not like those fulfillment companies that hand you a tracking code but there's no freaking udpates until a week later.
4) Fast shipping with ePacket -
I'll be honest with ya - I am operating my company in a small city but very convenient (4 hours drive away from major airports PVG/SHA/NKG) and we have 10 times less ePacket packages processed in our area. 80% of the shipments across the country go through the airports in Shenzhen/Yiwu/ZheJiang and they usually get stuck at the customs for days if not weeks but our packages to the US usually get delivered within 7 business days. Yes, it's ePacket. I'm not kidding.
5) Keeping your information(WINNING OFFER) confidential -
We are a small team and we can handle up to 5k orders at this moment. Currently we are operating as a private fulfillment company. Stop working with these that have 50+ employees, your WINNING PRODUCTS are exposed to 50+ people and they'll share your WINNING PRODUCTS with other customers - As an ex-affiliate, I know how important it is to keep our months shut about our customers, be it the demographic it sells to, the vertical it's categorized in, etc. Everything is confidential in our company.
We also do bulk sourcing and shooting as an addon service, just in case you only sell in one country and need some sourcing done.
Hit me up if you do any kind of ecommerce and let's make it rain!
To your success,
Richie

This is super useful Richie and thanks for your transparency. I'd rather pay a little bit extra for a good, quality service. I'll definitely keep this in mind for myself and friends who are in the dropshipping space.

Thanks for your replies guys! You guys are way too nice. I'll be in touch
@quocdungctt12
By the way, we are going to build an affiliate program and we are looking to share 30% of the revenue (not profit) of the first 3 months we make from the clients you refer.
Let's say someone you refer does 100 orders a day, that's 9000 orders in 3 months. We charge $1 for an order so that means we would send you $3000 in commissions.
Just something in my mind, not sure if that's a good deal though. If you guys have any advice, let me know.
We will start showing up on all the marketing related conferences/shows/parties soon and we'll also host meetups/parties/private networking events(business class flights and accommodations covered by us) around the world. Stay tuned guys and gals!

Very nice Ritchie! Definitely been considering using your service. Some questions:
1)Costs: $1 for picking and packing per item, correct? What about additional costs such as receiving the goods and storage fees?
2)Shipping times: <24 hours to dispatch the order + average of 7 days to the US by epacket = 8 days on average?
3)How are the orders placed? Are you integrated with Shopify/woocommerce/etc.? Or do we need to manually expert orders from Shopify etc. and upload it somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Amy,
Thanks for your interest.
1) Correct, we don't charge anything for sourcing, receiving or stocking. If you want to source your stuff yourself and send to our fulfillment center directly, that'd be cool too.
2) Yeah roughly but no guarantees though. It's really out of our control once packages get handed to ePacket but so far our clients are pretty happy about the shipping time.
3) Our coders in India are working on the system currently and it'll be easy to integrate with Shopify. Should only take another 2 weeks before things are done. No, you don't need to manually export orders and send them to us in spreadsheets. That's too 2000'ish. Once we take over, you can pretty much forget about it.

Very nice. Thx for the info. A few quick thoughts,
The location,
Majority of warehouses locating near the factories for obvious reasons. Anything you need they can get it at moments of notice. It will not be as convenient when you locate a bit far.
Also, I m not sure about the epackage processing benefits in a small town, most of the packages are batches until the container is full for cost efficiency, so if you are in a smaller town, your wait is longer as the carrier will wait until they have a full container to ship out.
$1 pick & pack is on the high end in China. Most of the warehouse we spoke with are a lot cheaper - they are not shady warehouse either.

Hey buddy. Thanks for stopping by.

I know what you mean here but we are in the most convenient area when it comes to logistics within China. Getting things delivered to our warehouses usually takes only 1 to 2 days. I'd say it's pretty decent.
Speaking of the factories, all the major factories are spread across the country so that doesn't really make any sense if we choose to operate based out of one specific city.
Like there's a city which is 2 hours drive away from us, is famous for bed stuff, and has 95% of the suppliers there. And Shenzhen which is about 2 hours flight away, is famous for electronics, tons of electronics are made there. It's not possible to spread across the country. However we are in the center of the country which makes it the best in this situation.
Also, I m not sure about the epackage processing benefits in a small town, most of the packages are batches until the container is full for cost efficiency, so if you are in a smaller town, your wait is longer as the carrier will wait until they have a full container to ship out.
People say "a picture is worth a thousand words", but in this case, "OUR STATS ARE worth a thousand words".

Obviously you didn't dig further. Some people would say that they are only going to charge you $0.1, but they actually build the rest (probably another $1.9 or $2.9) into the sourcing cost or shipping cost.
We are just taking a different path and we want to be totally transparent with our clients as to how much we profit.
Honestly speaking, we've dealt with quite a few clients in the past 14 months and all of them think we are way cheaper than the other fulfillment companies they dealt with before.
It's not how much we put there as our fees, it's the total amount you pay for each order(including the product cost, shipping cost, fees).
Again, thanks for your comment!

Hey, great reply to my (somewhat) critical post.
We were searching for partners in China a few months ago, and have settled on one since then. But will keep you in mind.
Btw, you mentioned you guys are developing custom backend software to integrate with. What the advantages for that over something off the shelf or someone like shipstation?

Will keep you guys on the radar after reading this. In terms of ePackets to various countries from your location, what are the fastest (most reliable) vs slowest delivery time countries (lost, damaged etc) on your end?
I'm curious to see how it differs from data we have and where it could be going wrong in the delivery chain for some countries. If you could share some raw data on a per country level that based on your current order volume e.g lost/damaged/<1week /<2weeks/<4 weeks/ >1m delivery that would be appreciated as there's so many untapped markets out there - biggest issue being logistics in said country!

I haven't done much research about the options available out there but we are looking to integrate the shipping options into our system (most of them are operated by chinese shipping companies like China Post - ePacket, SF Express) and I doubt there's anything available for us to use so we built our own.
Best of luck with your e-commerce business!

Hey there,
Generally US/CA and asian countries are pretty fast compared to the rest, usually within 10 days. The rest would usually take around 2 weeks.
