High-cube freight, priced on the space it really uses
Furniture and home goods fill a container long before they weigh it out. We plan loading, transload and distribution around cube rather than tons, which is where the cost in this category actually sits.
The cost is in the cube and the last mile
Home goods are bulky, easily damaged and expensive to move twice. Getting the loading plan right at origin does more for landed cost than negotiating the ocean rate a second time.
We transload ocean containers into domestic equipment near the port, which lets you consolidate to the order profile your stores or customers actually receive instead of shipping the origin's packing pattern inland.
The projects that go wrong in this sector usually go wrong at the hand-off between the international and domestic legs. Running both keeps that seam inside one team.
Typical furniture and home goods cargo we handle:
Ocean, transload and distribution
The combination that keeps high-cube consumer freight from being handled more times than it needs.
Consolidation
Retail consolidation and deconsolidation to order profile.
Know where it is, and what it cost
WorldScope aggregates and normalises data from multiple carriers into one system, so you can track shipments, manage documents and invoices, and report on shipping activity across every lane in one place rather than reconciling four portals.
