Buying things online from the US takes 46 days, from China takes only 3 days: Why is the difference so big?

Recently, on his personal page, Mr. Do Cao Bao, a member of the Board of Directors of FPT Corporation, shared about his online shopping.

He said that he personally ordered items online in the US and China and the time to receive these items was far apart.

Specifically, to be able to receive items purchased online on an American online shopping site, FPT’s leaders took 34 and 46 days from the date of ordering (4-12 times longer than ordering from China).

Mr. Do Cao Bao wrote on his personal page as follows: “Seeing on the newsfeed showing a new technology item that I really need, I haven’t seen it for sale anywhere, so I went to the page to order one, 15 minutes later thinking about it. that new technology is too good to order another one.

As a result, it took 34 days to receive the first one, 46 days to receive the second one, it took only 8 days for domestic US, and it took 6 days for US Customs to clear customs, from the time the order had the bill of lading code to the time the order was placed. Goods arrive at US Customs in 6 days (logistic time in the US). And yet the new technological functionality I needed turned out to be fake.

(Note that this item is in San Francisco, not shipped from China to the US and then shipped back to Vietnam).

Again, I remember there was an order I ordered online via Shopee, it took exactly 3 days for goods from China to arrive (including customs clearance of China Customs and Vietnam Customs). It is known that online shopping in China, delivery within 24 hours is considered standard practice and they are aiming higher: 12 hours nationwide.

According to the leader of FPT, to achieve such a record-fast online delivery time, China has applied artificial intelligence AI in calculating the location of warehouses, managing goods in the warehouse, Use robots to automatically search and pick up goods in warehouses and pack goods.

Besides, the high-speed rail and high-speed rail system spread across China, making the transportation of goods fast.

Finally, a member of the Board of Directors of FPT said that the delivery time when buying and selling online of a country is fast or slow, it is not only e-commerce, but it also includes artificial intelligence AI, robotics. , the railway system and the expressway and the aviation system (for logistics).
