Shipping Methods

We offer various methods to transport your products safely and efficiently.

SPD

This is perfect for smaller shipments and offers different speeds and costs depending on your needs.

Fastest but most expensive. Ideal for urgent deliveries.

A balance of speed and cost. Suitable for most shipments.

Most economical but slowest.

This option uses ocean freight to transport your goods to a distribution facility in the destination country, followed by final delivery via UPS Ground.

Packaging Options

LCL

This is a cost-effective for shipments that don't require a full container. Your goods are consolidated with others to fill a container, which can sometimes increase the delivery time.

FCL

This is the best option for large shipments and offers the most competitive pricing. You can have a full container delivered directly to your warehouse, saving time and money.

We provide a range of packaging options to protect your

goods during shipping. Please communicate your packaging needs well in advance to ensure timely processing.

The most affordable option, suitable for low-fragility items. Your products are placed inside shipping cartons.

3 or 5 layer, soft or hard corrugated cardboard. This is usually done by your factory.

Loose Cartons with Reinforcement. We can add to your shipping cartons some high density cardboard on the sides to protect the carton from external damages. Reinforced cartons are available for per carton.

A more secure option for medium-fragility items, where your goods are placed ona pallet and secured. This option is only available for LCL and FCL shipments.

The most secure option, ideal for high-fragility items like glass. This option is only available for LCL and FCL shipments and is typically used for highly valuable or fragile items.
