Coronavirus Dropshipping: The Wuhan
Coronavirus is affecting the global economy at a massive scale
Especially people that are doing drop shipping shipping products directly from China over to the customers in the US UK, Australia
If you are a drop shipper yourself
You need to stay updated and know what is happening in China with the virus. And that's why I'm here
Let's go into the update right now
If you like these update videos on coronavirus and its effect on drop shipping, make sure to comment update down below updates
So I know that you're actually interested in these videos and knowing what the situation is at all times
Make sure to LIKE the video as well subscribe then notification mouth so I can make more videos about this topic
Let's go in right now. So as you can see here as of February 9
2020 we are at almost
35,000 cases of the virus all over the world and it's rapidly expanding in the US
There's also a massive cruise ship anchored in Japan with a lot of people infected. So we're still waiting on the result of that and
725 debts
So it has more dead people than the actual SARS
Big virus that also happened in China and we'll see how this keeps developing
It keeps updating because it is turning to be very very deadly and a lot of people are catching it very fast all
over the world that being said
when it comes to drop shipping how it's
Affecting the actual workers and the migration of workers back into their cities back into their factories working
normal
9:00 to 5:00 in the factory shipping products over to the US and all over the world my contact at CJ drop shipping
Which is one of the biggest straps shipping services outside of Aliexpress basically said that CJ has to post pone
Fulfillment until the February 17th. They were originally supposed to do fulfillment starting tomorrow
February 10 and the factories were normal. Everybody was going back to work
They were going to transact a lot of orders again
But they have to push that back to February
17 and due to the limited number of people they all have to come back
To their cities from Chinese New Year and also from the virus quarantine
the order processing capacity will be less than
5,000 per day from February 17 all the way over to February 24 as it says here
They're likely to have it controlled and contained at their February 24 so they can start processing
newly placed orders and go back to the normal rhythm as
Always so be careful because if you are transacting a lot of orders if you're scaling very fast
You could be hurt with this new coming back into pace coming back into the normal rhythm of actually processing orders
They're sourcing customer service and dispute teams all working from home
And this is avatar my contact over there at cj they're all working at home all day
So if you have any questions, you send a message or if you're in my private program
Just tell me to connect you to sped up and I'll be able to connect you and you can actually talk to them and see
What's happening with your products with your orders and with the actual?
Situation there if you're thinking what to do about this delay and are there really other options apart from?
Drop shipping straight from the United States or getting products from the US if you're interested in that there's gonna be a video
That pops up here and also in the description how to find us a base and international suppliers
So you're not gonna lie it rely on China to actually ship your products
But another alternative that you can go for is hyper SKU right here
I've talked about them a few times and they've
transacted a lot of my orders a lot of students orders their product prices tend to be a little bit higher but their
Contact here
Bella told me that they checked and a lot of the manufacturers have already returned to work or they should be returning tomorrow
February 10th
so if you're looking for an option or different service that might be able to actually
Transect your orders and ship them out. They have less products
They tend to be a little bit more expensive
but they're a great option to use over the next two weeks that you can have at least somewhere to get products from
until it all goes back to normal with CJ with Aliexpress and just a normal chain rhythm of
Sending those products over to the rest of the world when it comes to advising people
That order from your store if they should be worried about the virus or people that ask about the virus
This is a very legitimate question and I've gotten all the students say hey
I have a lot of orders and I don't know how to tell my customers that there's gonna be a delay without we're gonna start
Shipping in about seven days because I don't want to tell them that it's the reason of the virus
To be scared. So I prepared a template right here called orders pending and if you want to download it
The link is down in the description of this video. It basically says dear valued customer. This is your name from your store
so just put your domain name or the name of your brand and then you say due to a current amount of orders and
Volume that we are getting in the past two weeks will be experienced in slight delays on product shipments
We're committed to working with our logistics department
It makes you sound bigger than you actually are
To provide you the fastest possible service and ship your order in the next seven to eight days. So you're telling them
Hey, we're gonna keep you updated
We're gonna try to ship it as fast as possible and then we'll keep you updated at all times with the status of your order
And any further delays through email
We deeply apologize for any inconvenience cost and thank you for your business with love your store or your actual
Brand name it's important to send this out one in your email confirmation
So people that actually buy they're aware that the product is going to get to them a little bit delayed
So they're not a month waiting for the order and they're like hey
What's happening when they charge back you they ask for a refund and so on you keep them updated?
This is better than doing nothing and it will
hugely
Reduce the amount of chargebacks refunds that you get because you care about your customers
Always care about the customers without a better service great customer service
you have to hire somebody to help you do it and
Also, it really helps with sending people that I've already ordered from your store. Maybe a week two weeks back sending this email
So they know what's happening
They're in the loop and they understand what's going on that you are going to ship the product as soon as you can
It's also important to note that people
Understand the situation of the virus in China and how it's affecting the entire world
So even if you say hey, the corona virus is affecting the orders
We're gonna get hit by a lot of people coming back to work on their factories in China
We're shipping products from China and there's the virus people know about it
I'm in Austria and Vienna right now
And I'm here for a couple of days and I was out trying to buy masks for the virus and they were all
sold out every single pharmacy every single shop in
Every single store that I could go to to try and buy a mask was sold out in Austria
So people know how bad this virus
is there going and buying all the masks and this is happening all over the world a lot of people in the US if you
Go to your local pharmacy. It's likely that they're going to be sold out a mask because people are aware of this problem
They know that it's massive and every single day
There's more and more cases more and more new stories more and more videos about it
So make sure that if you tell your customers about it, they understand what it is. They understand that it's a huge problem
It's affecting so many different businesses added huge other level billions and billions of dollars are getting affected right now as we speak
Because of the virus people are aware of it they know so they will
