03 TikTok Struggles in U.S. E-commerce: GMV Falls Short, Streamers Last Just 20 Minutes
TikTok's e-commerce business in the U.S. is facing challenges. Despite daily sales reaching $20 million in 2023, the platform has not met its $45 million target. TikTok is experimenting with hosted services to boost sales but remains far behind competitors like Temu and Shein. U.S. consumers are less receptive to live shopping, and fierce competition adds to TikTok's difficulties. The platform is working on training local streamers and optimizing content recommendations to improve performance. However, conversion rates in the U.S. remain lower than in China. TikTok must find effective strategies to adapt to local markets while continuing global expansion.

05 Amazon U.S. Announces Changes to Shipping and Handling Times for Orders
Amazon U.S. has recently announced updates aimed at improving cross-border logistics and customer experience. Starting October 25th, shipping times from China to the continental U.S. (excluding Hawaii, Alaska, etc.) will be adjusted to 2-4 days and 14-20 days, with a maximum limit reduced to 20 days. This change is intended to speed up delivery. To better manage order processing, Amazon will automatically set handling times for SKUs shipped from outside the U.S., optimizing them based on historical data. If a seller's manually set handling time is significantly delayed, the system will take over, ensuring that delayed shipment rates are unaffected. This move aims to enhance transparency and timeliness in cross-border transactions, helping sellers optimize account health and improve customer satisfaction.
