Delivery of containers from China

Persuade with deeds, not words

Companies that deal with only one area, or type, of transportation – the delivery of containers just from China, for example – of course have certain advantages. But, perhaps, companies offering a wide range of logistics services, organizing multimodal transportation all around the world, such as “Stoles Logistic”, have more.

Can these various advantages be found in just one company? Not all of them. But let’s compare the advantages and disadvantages for the customer of these two ways of handling their imports.

If you need to bring a consignment that occupies only part of a container (for a standard 20-ft container, 39m3 and 21 tons on average), it may make more sense to choose a company that specializes in importing consignments from China. The same is true if your shipment involves accumulating a batch of lots, requiring a variety of shipping, loading and unloading operations, from different starting points in China, and you need coordination between courier services, which nowadays in China number more than a hundred. In this case, it will also be preferable to work with a freight forwarding company specializing in operations with China, which has a local network of agents to coordinate and supervise the operation.

But, if you want to import a large consignment, or you need delivery of even one full container of cargo from China, we are ready to argue both price and terms with any monologistical company.

The fact is that, because we work with traffic flows all over the world, the specialists at “Stoles Logistic” are always fully aware of the situation in the international transport market, where freight rates, for example, change almost every week and according to orientation, and the amount that you pay in the end for shipping depends not least on competent freight planning.“Size matters”, too. “Stoles Logistic” increases its volumes of processed goods every year, most of which are Chinese imports. So, most likely, our share of containers brought from China will be greater than that of a company that deals only with this area. And more work means more weight in the industry, more experience, more opportunities. For example, while the generally accepted delivery time from China is 32-35 days, we usually set the transfer of goods to the client 26 days after shipment from China, and even our longest operation took only 40 days.

We can also help with accumulating batches in China, where necessary. Thanks to long and active work in this area, we have formed strong partnerships with reliable Chinese agents, and of course will handle all communications with them.

Some of the greatest advantages of working with a multimodal company like “Stoles Logistic” are found when working with cargoes that require prepared containers or additional equipment – this is one of the most important areas of our work, and one in which we have very significant experience. Flexitanks, refrigerators, transportation of vehicles, grains in bulk – all these require competent work and supervision by specialists at every stage of freight forwarding – the specialists at Stoles Logistic.

If you are still considering who to entrust the transport of your goods to, take a look at the following list of categories of cargo that we have safely delivered while working with the People’s Republic of China, on both FOB and EXW terms:

• the widest range of consumer goods (footwear, clothing, electronics, toys, souvenirs, etc.);
• grains in bulk and in big bags, general and niche crops;
• industrial equipment: metalworking, communication, medical and other;
• agricultural machinery;
• raw materials for food and non-food industry;
• technical, vegetable and animal oils;
• fertilizers, chemical products;
• dangerous goods;
• cars and motor vehicles.

And this list is not complete. The entire list would fill more than a page. We are confident that your type of cargo, and its port of shipment, are already on our track record, but if, unexpectedly, they are not, we will be happy to fill the gap. Contact us, and, even at the stage of preliminary processing of your order, you’ll come to understand the advantages of working with “Stoles Logistic” when importing containers from China
