📦 Overseas warehouse stocking: how to coordinate with factory to reduce inventory risk?

Overseas warehouse stocking最怕 dead inventory—unsold stock is loss. Coordinate well with factory, 3 ways to reduce risk:

1️⃣ Small batch multi-frequency stocking: don't stock 3 months sales at once, split into 3 batches of 1 month each. First batch trial sell, sell well then restock second. Factory supports from 20 units, restock arrives in 7 days

2️⃣ Safety stock + alert mechanism: agree safety stock line with factory (e.g. 15 days sales), below line factory主动 alerts, priority restock. Weekly inventory report sync, arrange restock 15 days in advance

3️⃣ Slow-moving return/exchange agreement: sign slow-moving return agreement with factory, unsold models can exchange for other hot-selling models (pay price difference). Reduce dead stock risk, factory also willing to cooperate (reduces inventory backlog)

Stocking rhythm advice:

🔹 New product: first batch 200-500 units trial, 2 weeks check data, sell well then restock 1000-2000

🔹 Hot seller: maintain 30-day safety stock, weekly restock, no stockouts

🔹 Off-season product: reduce to 15-day stock, focus on clearing, don't restock heavily

We support overseas warehouse dropshipping + small batch restock + slow-moving exchange, from 20 units.
