CHK Distributor now delivers to their international customers in less than 2 days!

CHK Distributor is a trading company that sells skincare and health products through global marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. Their shipments are split across two weight categories: 50 grams lightweight items and 1–2 kg premium items. They also ship bulk to WFS and FBA.

Every day, they ship 100+ orders to the U.S., primarily using CSB-IV filings to save on bank charges (₹200 per shipping bill closure). While this lowered their immediate compliance costs, it created long-term inefficiencies. 

Additionally, CHK Distributor faced two major hurdles:

1. High Walmart Fulfilment Storage (WFS) Charges due to long-term inventory holding.

2. Mismatch in Shipping Needs – they needed fast, premium delivery for 1kg+ products, and low-cost economy solutions for 50g shipments.

Key Challenges:

• Compliance Trade-off: Using CSB-IV avoided banking charges but exposed the business to compliance gaps.
  
  

• High Storage Costs: WFS charged heavily for long-term storage, impacting profitability.
  
  

• Inefficient Shipping Mix: No balance between premium and economy services.
  
  

• Banking Costs: ₹200 per shipping bill closure multiplied by 100+ shipments daily created an unsustainable cost burden.
  
  

• Delivery Speed: Consumers expected faster fulfilment, but direct international shipping was slowing down deliveries.
  
  

• Multiple Partners: Using UPS for Premium, Using Shipglobal for lower slab economy and using Fedex for Bulk Cargo to FBA/ WFS.

Why Xindus became their default choice:

1. Balanced Shipping Strategy
   
   

   • Xindus Premium: Adopted for 1kg+ products, ensuring faster deliveries to U.S. customers.

   • Xindus Lite: Used for 50g economy shipments, drastically reducing costs for lightweight items.

   • XPress B2B: Ships to WFS and FBA centres in Bulk 100+ kgs.
     
     

2. Bulk Shipping + Local Fulfilment
   
   

   • CHK now ships in bulk to Xindus Fulfilment Centers (FC) in the U.S

   • From there, products are fulfilled locally within 2 days, meeting consumer expectations on Amazon, Walmart, and eBay
     
     

3. WFS Cost Optimization

   • By storing inventory in Xindus FCs instead of Walmart’s warehouses, CHK significantly cut long-term storage costs.
     
     

4. Compliance & Banking Efficiency

   • Transitioned from CSB-IV to CSB-V, making their operations fully compliant.

   • Adopted Xindus BBX (Bulk Bill of Export): multiple shipments consolidated into one, saving on per-shipping bill closure costs at the bank.

Outcomes that delivered business results:

1. Faster Deliveries:
   U.S. customers now receive products in 2 days or less through local fulfilment.
   
   

2. Cost Savings on Lightweight Shipments:
   50g products routed through Xindus Lite, reducing international shipping spend.
   
   

3. Compliance Achieved:
   Transition to CSB-V ensured full legal compliance for exports.
   
   

4. Banking Cost Reduction:
   With Xindus BBX, CHK eliminated repetitive bank charges on 100+ daily shipments.
   
   

5. Storage Savings:
   Moving inventory out of WFS into Xindus FC avoided excessive long-term storage costs.
   
   

6. Multi-Channel Fulfilment:
   Enabled local fulfilment across Amazon, Walmart, and eBay seamlessly.
