The topic about mattresses came out again, and the topics about mattresses are also endless. There is an old saying in China that “there is a good bed in a home”, and this bed is one of the most important furniture in a home.
Americans also have a great demand for mattresses. Although they don’t lie on them every day, they spend most of their time in bed.
Although the mattress is a bulky commodity, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to in terms of transportation, such as the additional costs incurred during transportation due to its large size. If you are interested in American mattresses, under what circumstances can you choose sea shipping?
In the US, mattresses are a bulky commodity that needs to be shipped by sea. Due to the fact that the United States is far away from China, and the transportation distance is long and other factors, the transportation cost is relatively high. So what channels do we have to reduce costs? Next, I will tell you how to choose the appropriate shipping channel for American mattresses under different circumstances.
- By air
If it is by air, then you can choose air freight directly, so that the transportation cost will be reduced a lot. - International Express
If it is a large item, then you can consider international express. There are many kinds of international express, such as EMS, DHL, UPS, etc., but which express method to choose depends on the actual situation. Let me list some of the most common express delivery methods for you:
EMS: EMS is widely distributed in the world, but the price is relatively high;
DHL: DHL is a commercial express, the price is relatively low, but the service is relatively poor;
UPS: As one of the most well-known express companies in international express delivery, UPS is relatively cheap;
Express Post is a mode of transportation in the postal system, and the speed is relatively slow. In addition, you can choose the international express delivery method that suits you according to your needs. - .Dedicated line logistics
If you want lower shipping costs and less demanding shipping time, dedicated line logistics is a good choice. There are many kinds of dedicated logistics channels, such as UPS, FedEx, TNT and so on.
If you are a furniture factory and want to ship furniture products to the United States, it is a good choice to choose UPS special line logistics. If you want shorter shipping time and have certain requirements on the shipping price, then it is recommended that you choose UPS special line logistics.
Of course, if you have no requirements on the price, you can choose FedEx special line logistics. - Overseas Warehouses
Overseas warehouses are equivalent to distribution centers in China, which means that enterprises purchase and prepare goods in overseas warehouses according to customer orders, and ship them to customers by sea.
Therefore, as long as the goods are stocked in overseas warehouses, you don’t have to worry about various problems during the transportation process, just sit and wait for the goods to be received.
This method is suitable for customers with relatively large warehouses in the United States. Since the domestic logistics industry is not very developed, the goods of many large domestic factories need to be shipped to the United States by sea. If you want to send these goods to the United States, then you can choose overseas warehouses.
