We have frequent request from SME, entrepreneur and small customers coming from the Internet.
Often, they are willing to buy small volume from factories and are quite lost regarding the logistics and the freight operation.
Most of time we handle for them order everything related to the freight while using logistics company specialized in freight forwarding. In case, our clients would like to order goods from different factories while having the wish to limit cost related to freight, we most of time propose to them to use our order fulfillment and container consolidation service.

The process is quite simple but truly efficient: Let's say you are buyer located in the USA willing to import a full set of furniture product such as: table, chair, sofa.
Since those consumer goods are different, you may have already operated a deep sourcing in china and found 3 differents chinese suppliers:
- Supplier T for table, located in Guangzhou
- Supplier C for chair, located in Shenzhen
- Supplier S for sofa, located in Qingdao

While placing your order in the normal way you would ask your supplier to issue a purchase order with incoterm " FOB the nearest port ". Then you would pay separately your logistics company for each of the shipment which usually for LCL, cost more per cubic meter than using a full container.

For this reason you might prefer to consolidate the goods coming from your suppliers T, C and S in a warehouse in order to fill a full container while avoiding to pay high price for FCL.

Another significant advantage of this solution is the possibility to operate a container loading inspection and a quality control before the closing of the container.
