Shipping & Cargo Consolidation
Shipping is the biggest hidden cost in sourcing. We don't just "book a ship"; we optimize your packaging, combine your orders, and pick the route that balances speed and budget.
Cargo Consolidation: Stop Paying Double
If you buy 500 units from Factory A and 200 units from Factory B, shipping them separately is a waste of money. We act as your central warehouse in China.
Shipping Methods: Which One Fits?
Express Courier
DHL, UPS, FedEx. The fastest way to get goods from China to your door.
- Best for: Samples, Small orders (< 21kg).
- Pros: Door-to-door, easiest tracking.
- Cons: Very expensive for heavy/bulky goods.
Air Freight
Traditional Air Cargo (Airport-to-Airport) or Air Express lines.
- Best for: Medium shipments (100kg - 500kg).
- Note: Stricter on dangerous goods (liquids/batteries).
- We offer "Special Lines" that include tax duties.
Sea Freight (FCL / LCL)
The backbone of global trade. We handle both Full Containers (FCL) and Shared Containers (LCL).
- Matson (Fast Sea): To US West Coast in ~12 days. The "Amazon Seller" favorite.
- LCL: Don't have a full container? We group your boxes with others.
Rail Freight (Train)
The "Iron Silk Road". Specifically for shipments from China to Europe (UK/Germany/France).
- Faster than Sea, Cheaper than Air.
- More stable pricing than Air freight.
- Great for bulky items to Europe.
DDP Shipping (Delivered Duty Paid)
Dealing with US Customs or EU VAT is complicated. If you fill out one form wrong, your goods get stuck.
With DDP, we take the risk. We quote you one final price that includes:
- Shipping costs (Sea/Air/Rail).
- Export clearance in China.
- Import duties & Taxes in your country.
- Final truck delivery to your door (or Amazon FBA).
⚠️ Don't Pay for "Air" (Volumetric Weight)
Carriers charge based on whichever is greater: Actual Weight or Volumetric Weight.
Example: A big box of pillows is light, but takes up space on the plane. The carrier will charge you based on the size.
The Formula: Length x Width x Height (cm) / 5000 (for Express)
How we help: We remove unnecessary manufacturer packaging (shoe boxes, double packing) to shrink the volume and save you 20-30% on shipping.
