Shipping service
Ocean Freight
Cost-efficient transport for larger volumes.
Ocean Freight from China
Ocean freight is the cheapest way to move volume, and the one that demands planning. We quote FCL and LCL, handle documentation and clearance, and coordinate the final delivery so the container does not sit at the destination.
Transit time and cost
Both depend on your destination, the charged weight and the line you choose, and both move with capacity and customs processing. We quote a current expected window against your actual shipment details rather than publishing a figure that goes out of date.
What's included
- FCL (full container) and LCL (shared container) options
- Booking, loading coordination and container sealing
- Full export documentation and clearance
- Destination clearance and delivery coordination
- Consolidation of multiple suppliers into one container
- Scheduled programmes for recurring replenishment
Service options
Ways to run this service
We will tell you which of these actually fits your cargo. Nothing here is added on to make a quote look bigger.
FCL — full container load
A dedicated container for your goods. Cheapest per unit at volume, and the most predictable handling.
LCL — less than container load
Share container space with other cargo. Suitable when the volume does not justify a full container.
Scheduled replenishment
A recurring booking cadence so stock arrives on a predictable rhythm into your destination warehouse.
Typical use cases
Who this is usually for
If your situation is not on this list, it does not mean we cannot help — it usually means it needs a conversation.
Planned seasonal stock
Volume ordered months ahead where the shipping cost saving justifies the longer lead time.
Heavy or bulky goods
Products where air freight cost would remove the margin entirely — furniture, large hardware, dense goods.
Local warehouse replenishment
Feeding a destination-country warehouse or 3PL so last-mile delivery stays domestic.
