In the fierce competition of cross-border e-commerce, Temu and Amazon represent two distinct business models: Temu uses “ultra-low prices” as its weapon, relying on China’s supply chain resources and Pinduoduo’s traffic support to attract price-sensitive users, focusing on “dirt-cheap” small commodities and fast fashion; Amazon focuses on “quality and efficiency,” with a strict quality control system, global logistics network, and Prime membership ecosystem, catering to consumers across all income levels, especially meeting the long-term value needs of middle and high-income groups. The competition between the two is not just about price wars but also about the essence of consumer demand—choosing between “low-price fast consumption” or “quality assurance + efficient service.” This article will conduct an in-depth comparison from three dimensions: pricing strategy, quality control, and shipping and logistics, revealing their core differences and providing consumers with clear decision-making references. Price Temu Temu has ultimate low price.For example, a T-shirt on Temu might only cost 10 yuan or even lower. It sources directly from Chinese factories, eliminating the middlemen to earn the difference, and also uses platform subsidies to spend money, all to attract users. But the problem is, in order to reduce costs, the clothes might be made of cheap fabric, which pills and unravels after just a few wears. Temu directly connects with factories in Yiwu and Guangzhou, cutting out the middlemen, and with Pinduoduo’s money for subsidies, that’s why the prices can be so low. But the problems are: slow logistics (it may take more than 20 days to receive goods), and the packaging is also simple, making it easy for things to break; Some products may be sold at a loss, relying on attracting new users and […]

You’ve probably heard the saying: “Price = Cost × 2.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it?But anyone who’s done dropshipping knows — if you really follow that, you’ll basically end up eating dirt. This article will walk you through, step by step: where your profits actually go, and how to calculate a realistic pricing strategy to avoid the nightmare of “the more you sell, the more you lose.” The Cost Components of Dropshipping  Don’t fool yourself into thinking the cost is just what you pay on 1688, AliExpress, or Temu. The real cost = product price + shipping + fees + marketing expenses + returns/customer service + taxes + your own salary/profit expectations. Let’s break it down: Cost Item Example Data (Selling One T-shirt) Product Cost ¥20 (AliExpress cost) International Shipping ¥15 (ePacket or Yanwen small package) Platform Fees ¥5 (e.g., PayPal + Shopify transaction fees) Marketing Cost ¥30 (Facebook ad spend) Returns/After-sales Allocation ¥3 (average 1 return per 10 orders) Other Expenses ¥2 (Shopify subscription, domain, customer service, etc.) Total Cost ¥75 Note: This doesn’t include your profit expectations yet. How to Calculate Your “Bottom-Line Price”   Many people set prices on a whim: “The product cost is ¥30, so I’ll sell it for ¥60. That should be enough to make a profit.” But in dropshipping, this kind of pricing is basically suicidal. Your costs are much more than just the product price — you have shipping, advertising, platform fees, after-sales costs, and more. If you don’t calculate these clearly, you might think you’re making money on a sale, but in reality, you’re losing. So let’s get clear on a crucial concept — the bottom-line price. What is the bottom-line price?The […]
