BIG loads, low rates and always on time
This designer and wholesale supplier of food containers across the United States, had multiple manufacturers in and around Ningbo and Shenzen.
With back-orders on the client’s popular product lines the factories were periodically releasing an amount of inventory, equivalent to 200m3, or three full 40’ sea containers, which, due to urgency, had to be shipped by air on the earliest available flights.
By liaising closely with the vendors and multiple carriers the Global Forwarding air freight team split inventory across flights and routes, consolidating cargo at a variety of staging gateways to get the optimum blend of service and rates, while consistency hitting deadlines.
