Stocking Rhythm: Work Backwards 90 Days from the Big Sale
Use the sale date as your anchor and schedule backwards: production → first-mile shipping → overseas warehouse check-in → listing. Build buffer into every stage. Main inventory moves by sea + overseas warehouse, while restocking and hot sellers reserve air/courier lanes.
The earlier the stocking plan is locked, the more controllable the logistics cost during peak season.
Channel Mix: Spend Where It Counts
Sea-air hybrids, air freight, international express, and China-Europe road express each have their cost-performance sweet spots: heavy volume by sea, high-margin restocking by air, and bulky light goods by road express. Lock space and rates early during peak season.
