Why Choose Monrovia as a Destination?

• Suburban LA Logistics:

    • Retail/Commercial: Electronics, home decor, and restaurant supplies for Old Town businesses.
    • Residential Goods: Furniture, appliances, and personal items for single-family homes and apartments.

Tips for Shippers

• Residential Delivery Coordination:
  • Specify driveway access, gate codes, or elevator requirements for apartment complexes. For commercial deliveries, include business hours and a contact person.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Monrovia’s zip code (91016) and include a contact phone number. Use reinforced packaging for fragile items and ensure commercial invoices are in English.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via LA/LB is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via LAX is ideal for urgent restocks or time-sensitive business needs, especially during holiday seasons.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value or fragile items (e.g., antiques, electronics) should be insured (recommended 1–3% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage.
