  2. How does the delivery to the warehouse occur if there is no seaport in the city?<\/span><\/span>

    For inland cities, we use an Intermodal Transport model to bridge the gap between the coast and our facilities.<\/p>

    The Process:<\/p>

    – Port Arrival: Your cargo is unloaded at the nearest international seaport and cleared through customs.<\/p>

    – Inland Transit: The container is transferred to Freight Rail or Long-Haul Trucking for transport to the target city\u2019s “dry port” or rail terminal.<\/p>

    – Final Drayage: A local truck picks up the container from the terminal and delivers it directly to our warehouse loading docks for de-kitting and storage.<\/p>

    This “hub-and-spoke” system allows you to store inventory closer to major consumer markets in the US, UK, and Brazil, even without direct ocean access.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Can you guarantee the exact delivery date?<\/span>No, we can’t.<\/li>
  4. How are sea shipping costs calculated?<\/span>

    Sea shipping costs are primarily based on how much space you use and how much your goods weigh. Here is the simplest breakdown:
    – Container Choice<\/p>

    Full Container (FCL): You pay a flat “rent” for the entire box (20ft or 40ft). It doesn’t matter if it\u2019s half-full or packed to the ceiling; the price for the space is the same.<\/p>

    Shared Container (LCL): You only pay for the volume (Cubic Meters) your goods occupy. This is best for smaller shipments that don’t need a whole container.<\/p>

    – The “Weight vs. Size” Rule<\/p>

    Carriers charge based on whichever is larger: the actual weight or the physical size.<\/p>

    Heavy goods (like tiles) are charged by weight.<\/p>

    Light, bulky goods (like pillows) are charged by the space they take up.<\/p>

    – Port & Fuel Fees<\/p>

    The “Base Freight” is just the starting point. You will also see:<\/p>

    Terminal Fees: The cost for the port crane to move your box.<\/p>

    Fuel Surcharges: Extra costs that go up or down based on global oil prices.<\/p>

    Peak Season Fees: Higher prices during busy times, like the lead-up to the holidays.<\/p>

    – Your Contract (Incoterms)<\/p>

    The final price depends on your agreement with the seller.<\/p>

    FOB (Free on Board): You only pay from the foreign port to your door.<\/p>

    EXW (Ex Works): You pay for everything, starting from the factory floor.<\/p><\/li>

  5. Is it possible to reissue documents for receipt while the goods are on the way?<\/span>No, it is not possible<\/li>
  6. Should we purchase additional insurance?<\/span>No need to purchase additional insurance\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
