I want to engage in SF Express' import agency business. How exactly should I go about it?
Solved#Import agent#
I'm quite interested in the logistics industry. I heard that the development prospects of SF Express' import agency business are promising, and I also want to give it a try. However, I'm not familiar with the specific processes and operation methods and don't know where to start. Are there any friends who have done SF Express' import agency business and can share their experiences? For example, what qualifications are needed, how to connect with SF Express, and what precautions should be taken in the subsequent business development? I hope for a detailed explanation. Thank you.
