With the acceleration of global economic integration and the continuous upgrading of consumer demand, the e-commerce industry is facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Price wars were once a common means for e-commerce platforms to attract consumers and compete for market share, but this strategy is often difficult to sustain. In the fierce market competition, some platforms have neglected the improvement of service quality due to excessive reliance on price discounts, and eventually gradually lost their advantages in the competition; while other platforms are keenly aware that in order to achieve long-term and stable development, they must provide consumers with a more convenient, efficient and personalized service experience while providing high-quality products.

Among the many service links, the importance of express delivery services is becoming more and more prominent. As an important aspect of this, overseas express delivery to the door is profoundly affecting the development of e-commerce platforms and consumers' shopping choices.

First of all, efficient overseas express delivery to door service can greatly shorten the transportation time of goods and improve consumer satisfaction. For those consumers who pursue fashionable and novel goods, being able to quickly receive goods from overseas is undoubtedly an attractive shopping experience. In the past, due to the complexity and uncertainty of cross-border logistics, consumers often had to wait for a long time to receive the purchased overseas goods, which to a certain extent suppressed their desire to buy. But now, with the continuous advancement of logistics technology and the international layout of express delivery companies, the time for overseas express delivery to door has been greatly shortened, from weeks or even months to a few days or even shorter. For example, some well-known international express delivery companies can achieve rapid delivery of cross-border packages by establishing a global logistics network and optimizing the transportation process, allowing consumers to enjoy high-quality goods from all over the world in a short time.

Secondly, accurate logistics tracking and information transparency make consumers feel more at ease during the shopping process. In the past, consumers often knew nothing about the transportation process of overseas express delivery, and it was difficult to obtain information such as whether the package had been shipped, where it was transported, and when it would be delivered. This not only increased consumers' anxiety, but also easily led to unnecessary disputes and complaints. Today, through advanced logistics tracking systems and information technology, consumers can understand the transportation status of the package in real time, including the current location of the package, the estimated delivery time, etc. This transparent logistics information allows consumers to better arrange their time and life, and also enhances their trust in e-commerce platforms and express delivery services.

In addition, high-quality overseas express delivery services can also enhance the brand image and competitiveness of e-commerce platforms. In the eyes of consumers, e-commerce platforms that can provide fast, accurate and reliable overseas express delivery services are often more attractive and reputable. These platforms can not only meet consumers' demand for overseas goods, but also win consumers' loyalty and word-of-mouth communication through good service experience. For example, some e-commerce platforms have cooperated with internationally renowned express delivery companies to create exclusive express delivery service brands and provide consumers with one-stop shopping and logistics solutions, thus standing out in the fierce market competition.

However, it is not easy to achieve efficient and high-quality overseas express delivery to door services, which requires overcoming a series of challenges and problems.

The complexity of cross-border logistics is one of the major challenges. Customs policies, tax systems, cultural differences and other factors in different countries and regions have brought many obstacles to overseas express delivery services. For example, some countries have strict inspection and quarantine requirements for imported goods, which may cause delays in the customs clearance process; and in some regions, due to imperfect infrastructure and underdeveloped logistics networks, the coverage and delivery efficiency of express delivery services are also limited.

Cost is also a key factor restricting the development of overseas express delivery services. Cross-border logistics involves long-distance transportation, customs declaration, warehouse management and other links, and the cost is relatively high. In order to provide fast and high-quality services, express delivery companies need to invest a lot of money and resources to optimize logistics networks, improve transportation efficiency, and strengthen information construction. This is undoubtedly a huge pressure for some smaller e-commerce platforms and express delivery companies.

In addition, the stability and sustainability of service quality are also issues that need attention. Since cross-border logistics are affected by many uncontrollable factors, such as weather changes, political situations, emergencies, etc., the quality of express delivery services may fluctuate. How to ensure the stability and sustainability of service quality in the face of various complex situations is a challenge that express delivery companies and e-commerce platforms need to face and solve together.

In order to meet these challenges and promote the healthy development of overseas express delivery services, all parties need to work together.

Government departments should strengthen international cooperation and exchanges and formulate unified cross-border
