Solution
We tailored a comprehensive shipping solution for the client:
Packaging and Loading Protection
To ensure the safety of the lamps during transit, we designed customized packaging based on each product’s shape and material. Fragile parts like bulbs and glass covers were cushioned with additional padding and protected with reinforced shock-absorbing packaging. For container loading, we used anti-slip mats and layered dividers to secure items, preventing any movement or impact. Our trained team utilized specialized equipment during loading and unloading to handle products with precision.
Customized Logistics Plan
Considering the client’s time requirements, we selected the fastest ocean route to ensure the cargo reached Los Angeles port promptly. Once at port, our customs clearance team expedited the process, and using our local trucking network, we delivered the shipment to the specified warehouse within 24 hours of port arrival, meeting the client’s delivery deadline.
End-to-End Tracking and Communication
To keep the client informed of the shipment’s status, we assigned a dedicated account manager to provide progress updates throughout the process. From loading, ocean freight, customs clearance, to final delivery, the client could track the shipment’s location via our system, ensuring every stage was managed smoothly.
