A Comprehensive Guide to Drop Shipping Operations at Overseas Warehouses in Malaysia: How Are Inbound, Storage, and Outbound Fees Calculated?

Apr 01, 2026, 10:36:40 AM
Guangdong Wisdom International Logistics specializes in drop shipping from overseas warehouses and one-stop e-commerce fulfillment services. We currently operate overseas warehouses in Indonesia, the Philippines, Brazil, Malaysia, and other locations, with a total area exceeding 10,000 square meters. Our Malaysia warehouse, in particular, is designed to help you overcome the various challenges of shipping from China to Malaysia—slow delivery times, difficult after-sales support, and high labor costs for warehousing. Leave it all to us.
 
Below, we’ll explain in plain language what happens once your goods arrive at our overseas warehouse and how our fees are calculated. We guarantee everything will be crystal clear.
 
I. Goods Receipt: Fast and Reliable, Shelved in 1–3 Days
Once your goods arrive at our warehouse, we won’t keep you waiting. Typically, within 1 to 3 business days of arrival, we’ll complete unloading, inventory counting, and shelving, and your products will be ready to start receiving orders and shipping.
 
To ensure this process runs smoothly, there are a few small details we need your cooperation on:
 
Give us a heads-up: When your shipment is about to arrive, please let us know one day in advance so we can schedule staff accordingly. That way, we’ll have the right people ready when your goods arrive, avoiding any delays.
 
Label the outer packaging clearly: Please make sure to clearly mark the SKU code and corresponding quantity on the outside of each box. This allows us to instantly identify the contents with a single scan, saving both time and effort.
 
Pre-label Products: Please also pre-label each product with its SKU code. Doing this step right will double our inventory processing speed.
 
In short: Notify us in advance, label the outer boxes, and label the products. If you follow these three steps, your goods will be listed and ready for sale as quickly as possible.
 
II. Storage Fees: Discounts for New Arrivals, Cost-Effective for Slow-Moving Items
Storing goods in the warehouse incurs daily costs. We understand you want your inventory to “move,” and we also understand that some new products need time to gain traction. That’s why our storage fees are designed to be exceptionally flexible:
 
New Inventory: Free Storage Period
 
If your products are listed by the 20th of the month, storage fees for that month are waived.
 
If listed after the 21st, storage fees for both that month and the following month are waived.
 
This gives you ample time to promote new products without worrying about paying storage fees right from the start.
 
Tiered Pricing for Slow-Moving Inventory
Some products may not sell as quickly, but we won’t charge the full rate. If, at the end of the month, your outbound shipments account for less than 30% of your total inventory—meaning sales are slow—we’ll only charge 150 RMB per month per cubic meter. This rate is quite reasonable.
 
III. Order Fulfillment: Transparent Fees, Flexible Packaging
When you receive an order, we’ll handle the entire process—from picking and packing to applying shipping labels. Here’s a clear breakdown of our fees:
 
1. Over-Item Surcharge
If an order contains more than 3 items, we’ll charge a small handling fee per item:
 
Mini and small items: 0.3 RMB per item
 
Medium items: 0.5 RMB per item
 
Large and extra-large items: 1 RMB per item
 
2. Packaging Options
 
Plastic bag packaging: Free of charge; this is the default option and is sufficient for standard products.
 
Bubble wrap packaging: If your products require better protection, you can opt for bubble wrap. The fees are as follows:
 
Mini and small items: 0.5 RMB per order
 
Medium items: +1.2 RMB per order
 
Large items: +2 RMB per order
 
Extra-large items: +3 RMB per order
 
Cardboard box packaging: If you need cardboard boxes, you can provide your own or have us purchase them locally. The cost will be based on the actual purchase price; we do not mark up the price.
