WAREHOUSE

Why You Need Warehousing at Origin

Many importers wait until goods arrive in the USA to consolidate or inspect them. This is often too late and too expensive. Utilizing our strategic warehousing network in Mainland China, Taiwan (China), and Vietnam allows you to:

1. Consolidate & Save on Freight: Instead of shipping three expensive LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments from Shanghai, Ningbo, and Yiwu, we collect them into our warehouse, consolidate them into one FCL (Full Container Load), and ship them to Miami or Vancouver. This can save you 20%–40% in freight costs.

2. Quality Control (QC) Before Departure: If a defect is found after the goods arrive in Chicago, return shipping is cost-prohibitive. We allow you to inspect goods in our Shenzhen or Ho Chi Minh City warehouse, ensuring only perfect products are loaded.

3. Amazon FBA Prep: Amazon’s warehousing fees in the US are high. We can perform labeling, palletizing, and kitting in China at a fraction of the cost, ensuring your cargo meets Amazon FBA standards before it even touches the water.

4. Buffer Against Volatility: During peak seasons (like pre-Christmas or before Chinese New Year), freight rates spike. Our warehousing allows you to hold inventory securely and ship when rates stabilize or when shipping space becomes available.
