The launch of the second self-employed offshore warehouse in Canada, which was officially launched in Canada by the Ali Baba logistics subsidiary, marked a further expansion of the network in North America, where 13 offshore warehouses are currently operating.
The specific location and size of the new warehouse is not known, but is expected to be located at Canada ‘ s main logistics hub (e.g. Toronto or Vancouver) to support the fast-track compliance needs of cross-border electric operators. A full-chain logistics solution, which includes first-range transportation (from China to overseas), offshore warehousing (stock management, order processing) and end-of-pipe delivery (local distribution), is provided by the retrenchment of rookies overseas, with the objective of providing efficient and low-cost logistics services to global traders, especially small and medium-sized cross-border electric operators.
In recent years, rookies have accelerated the construction of global supply chain silos, with a focus on North American, European, South-East Asian and Latin American markets. As of June 2025, the number of offshore warehouses operated globally by rookies had increased significantly, with 13 offshore warehouses in North America as their core layout in the American market. Logistics services include the provision of rapid transport from China to North America, in cooperation with aviation and maritime partners. Support stockpile management, order sorting and localization of packaging to reduce the time required for performance. It also works with local logistics providers (e.g. Canada Post, FedEx) to ensure rapid distribution.
The global cross-border electricity provider logistics market has grown rapidly, with a market size of about $150 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $350 billion in 2030 (approximately 13 per cent of CAGR). North America, as the largest electricity market in the world, has attracted intense competition from logistics giants such as rookies, Amazon FBA and DHL. Newbies are particularly suited to small and medium-sized vendors with cost-effective logistics solutions. The integration of newbies with fast-solding gives them unique advantages in the Ali Baba ecology.
Analysts claim that the expansion of the freshman’s North American silo network threatens the market share of small and medium-sized vendors in the Amazon FBA, as its storage costs are about 20-30 per cent below the FBA. However, rookies need to address localised operational challenges such as Canada ‘ s high labour costs and customs clearance efficiency.
