With the rapid growth of global e-commerce, logistics efficiency has become a critical competitive differentiator. This study conducts a spreadsheet-based comparative analysis of logistics data from major platforms like Taobao, JD, Amazon, and procurment services (Superbuy, Sugargoo), focusing on delivery speed, cost, and service quality metrics to propose synergistic optimization strategies.
Data was collected from publicly available shipping records (Jan-June 2023) and standardized in Google Sheets using:
| Platform | Avg. Delivery Days | Shipping Cost/kg | Lost Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taobao (Direct) | 5.2 | $1.8 | 1.1% |
| Amazon Global | 3.8 | $3.5 | 0.7% |
| Superbuy | 8.1 | $2.2 | 2.3% |
JD and Amazon FBA showed the fastest domestic (1.9 days) and cross-border (4.2 days) deliveries respectively, while procureship services lagged by 2-4 days due to consolidation delays.
Sugargoo demonstrated 18% lower trans-Pacific shipping costs than Superbuy, but both were 40-60% pricier than direct Taobao international shipping for parcels under 2kg.
Develop shared Google Sheets templates with real-time shipping tier calculations:

Implement IFTTT automation to compare platform-specific logistics APIs, selecting carriers based on spreadsheet-calculated KPIs:
Spreadsheet analysis reveals significant optimization potential through data transparency between platforms. Proposed integration of standardized logistics templates could reduce industry-wide last-mile costs by an estimated 15-22%.
