Why should you choose a private agent instead of CJ&AutoDS when you have over 100+ orders

This is an experience sharing from an agent with over 5 years of experience in China. Why should you choose a private agent instead of CJ&AutoDS when you have over 100+ orders? I will explain the reasons from the following aspects.

1. Product price

2. Shipping speed

3. Logistics channel

4. Dispute resolution.

Many people may wonder why CJ&AutoDS should have more comprehensive services and processes, but I say private agents have more advantages in these aspects. Firstly, it should be acknowledged that large companies are indeed very well-established in these processes. But perfection does not mean it is more flexible for you.

Let’s start with the first one.

1. Product price

Shopify owners with more than 100 orders, often need good product prices. Sales in CJ&AutoDS will help you find suppliers on 1688 and negotiate prices for you. However, sometimes, the sellers in 1688 are not manufactory, and the real manufactory may be in offline stores or villages. But due to work limitations, they can only work in the office for your business. They have a lot of clients to serve, so your sales can’t take a leave of absence from the company to help you find a factory offline and talk to the factory to get the best factory price for you.

2. Shipping speed

. For large companies, their system requires you to submit orders daily, and there will be procurement data in the backend. Then, the procurement worker must verify and review all processes before placing a purchase order. This means that the order you placed yesterday may not be able to be sent to the factory the next day, and due to the large number of parcels CJ&AutoDS needs to ship every day, your goods may not be able to be shipped on the day of arrival. Compared to private agents, they can flexibly handle order procurement and shipping to ensure that your order can be shipped on the day of arrival.

3. Logistics services

CJ&AutoDS usually connects with many logistics channels and sets fixed shipping fees on the system. When calculating the shipping cost, regardless of how much your order is, your shipping fee is the same as for someone with only 10 or 20 orders, and CJ&AutoDS does not allow the system’s shipping cost to be changed. So no matter how many orders you have, your price in shipping will not have an advantage at all, which will reduce your competitive advantage with others in the market, because you will not get better shipping prices just because your order volume increases. But private agents like frienddropshipping and bsdropshipping will give you a VVVI P price separately for your order quantity, without being restricted by the system or company regulations, and will do their best to help you gain a price advantage. They can even quickly connect you with shipping channels that are not available in big companies, which is something that big companies cannot do for you.

4. Dispute Resolution

All disputes in CJ&AutoDS have a complete set of handling principles. In addition to providing customer order emails, photos, and videos, you also need to wait for the dispute team’s review and judgment, and then go back on the system to receive the review results, communicate, review, and communicate. Finally, you get tired of a dispute over an order but have not received a refund or reshipment, it will greatly consume your time and energy. And for the dissatisfaction of customers, due to their inability to resend a new parcel for a long time, you cannot handle customer disputes well, resulting in negative reviews. At this point, your best solution is to reorganize the disputed customer’s order and place a new order with them. But for private agents, the communication process of these systems does not exist, they can directly and quickly help you solve or resend orders for free on WhatsApp. For example, frienddropshipping provide a full refund or resend for product damage and wrong delivery, and there is no company rule to negotiate compensation of a few dollars.
