We prepare all documentation, book shipments, arrange delivery to the port, process paperwork at the destination office, clear Customs and manage final delivery.
Unlike steamship lines, we have much more flexibility with bookings. We are not tied to one carrier or alliance and, as a result, can offer multiple sailing options from every major container port in the U.S. and Canada.
We leverage our freight volume and long-term relationships with carriers to secure excellent rates. You get the best of both worlds – exceptional service at competitive rates.
A maker of steel wire was paying a steamship line $3,110 per 20’ container for door-to-door shipping at a max payload of 44,000 pounds, or $155.50 per metric ton. By arranging specialized trucking from the port to handle the extra weight, we increased the payload to over 55,000 pounds, bringing the shipping cost per metric ton to $129, a savings of $26.50 per ton! Based on an annual volume of 2,000 metric tons on this lane, the company is saving $53,000 per year.
Let's figure it out together.
