Key Services Offered

1. Sea Freight (FCL/LCL)

     • FCL (Full Container Load): Ideal for agricultural machinery (e.g., tractors, hay balers), construction materials, or bulk household goods for relocations.
     • LCL (Less than Container Load): Cost-effective for smaller shipments (e.g., farm parts, electronics, small business inventory) with consolidation at major ports.
2. Air Freight
   • Expedited Delivery to Regional Airports:
     • Transit times: 3–7 days from Chinese airports (e.g., Shanghai Pudong) to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) or Indianapolis International Airport (IND), including customs clearance.
     • Final trucking from CVG/IND to Memphis takes ~1 hour, ensuring fast delivery for urgent items like medical supplies, high-value electronics, or seasonal agricultural equipment parts.

Tips for Shippers

• Rural Delivery Coordination:
  • Provide detailed directions to remote addresses (e.g., GPS coordinates, nearest landmark) and specify if delivery requires a lift gate or off-road capability.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Memphis’ zip code (47033) and include a contact phone number for on-site coordination. Use sturdy, weather-resistant packaging for LCL shipments, especially those containing agricultural parts.
• Transit Time Buffer:
  • Sea freight via the East Coast is cost-effective for non-urgent orders; air freight via CVG is recommended for urgent machinery repairs or time-sensitive inventory.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value equipment or fragile items (e.g., farm tools, electronics) should be insured (recommended 2–5% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage on rural roads.
