Real Client Success Story
John, a clothing retailer based in Los Angeles, needed to ship a 40HQ container of apparel from Guangzhou to catch a mid‑May textile exhibition in California. His factory faced production delays, and he needed the goods in under 20 days. With fuel prices surging, air freight was too expensive.
We arranged:
- Express ocean line from Shenzhen to Long Beach
- 12 days port‑to‑port transit
- Priority U.S. customs clearance
- 3‑day final delivery to his exhibition venue
Total transit: 15 days
Result: John's cargo arrived safely before the show opened, and he successfully launched his new collection.
