Most people take advantage of the Internet to purchase goods in another country, direct from the manufacturer or company that sells the items. While customers don’t necessarily care what process the items go through, a business will. If you own an Indian business and want to send your items to the USA, you will likely want to use a courier, because the items will be treated better, but for many other reasons.
Overhead Costs
The overhead costs of owning a business in India can be challenging. If you are worried about the cost to store items and distribute them, you may want to consider using a courier as you will cut down the overhead costs. Many courier companies offer distribution and warehousing options, which means your goods can sit in their warehouse until they are sold or needed and then can be distributed to customers or the companies that sell them. While you may think that having your goods in another location wouldn’t be cost effective, it can be because you are only paying for the space you need, you don’t have to pay all the overhead costs, such as electricity and temperature control and you require less room to run your business. While you will need to pay the courier to store items until they are shipped to the USA, you are paying a smaller amount because other clients are also using the courier’s service for their warehouse and distribution center.
Distribution
If you were to have your own distribution center, you would need to have a large enough space to pack up the items properly and then you would need to send them to a courier or other parcel shipping service. It would be a lot easier and save more time if you could simply call the courier and tell them how many of each item to ship and to whom. If you wanted, you could also allow the courier service in India to have access to the information through a database, so they could go in, check what needs to be sent to the USA, and do it automatically.
Warehouse
Storing items can become difficult if you don’t have the proper amount of space. Allowing a courier to store the items means that you don’t have to lease or own a warehouse, and you’ll know your items are safe from theft and damage.
