Hi

Hello Mike, has there been any new progress onthe shipment?
Us
I noticed that your website is approaching thepre-sale period, and I'm a bit concerned
Us
Here's what the proposed quote includes:n(1.) Shipping 50 pallets to the port of Shanghai(saves approximately $1300 USD compared todirect container shipping).n(2.) Two 40HQ containers shipped to the port ofLos Angeles (LA).n(3.) Import customs clearance in LA.n(4.) Unloading containers at a logisticswarehouse in LA.n(5.) Transport from the LA logistics warehouse tothe Boston warehouse using two 53' trucks (thiscost is quite high; we recommend you find yourown trucking companies to compareprices).Each 53' truck can load 28 palletsmeasuring 122*100*200cm and weighing 560kgnnMissing information:I'm still awaiting a response from our LA agentregarding the LCL shipping plan and pricing forthe bundled products.

Us

Us
By the way, it's a long way from the factory to theChinese port. Tomorrow, I will also check whereto use large trucks to transport to our Qingdaowarehouse first, and then load them intocontainers there to see if it will save some costs
Customer
OK great!
Us
If possible, please provide me with the pallet,including its length, width, and forklift foot height
Us
Standard pallets are also divided into differentsizes
Customer
to be honest i just dont know what size pallet ourfinal boxer will use. But it will be standard so thatwe can fit 20 pallets in a 40HQ
Us
Okay, then I'll estimate the pallet size based onthe size of the large cardboard box
Customer
Yes, it is 48inx 8in x 18in.
Us
OK,thanks
Customer
I think our best option for the first container isoption1
Customer
we will look into freight companies here that canpull the container and unload it onto a regularfreight truck to drive across the US.
Customer
Do any fast boat shipping options exist fromChina to NY port?
Us
This is also the method I am looking for
Us
Transport directly from Los Angeles to Bostonusing large trucks
Us
Take the goods out of the container in ourwarehouse and load them onto a large truck
Us
35 days is already the fastest
Customer
Yes I used to do this from NY to LA. It works well
Us
Do you have a specific tray size?
Customer
Standard pallet. About 6.5' tall.
Customer
20 pallets in 40HQ. 20,000 lbs
Customer
Also your 40HQ from Qingdao to NY is $4250.nThat seems really high, right?
Customer
ok so about $8k per 40HQ?
Customer
It has gotten really expensive, yes?
Us
yeah, The factory is too far from the port
Customer
can you let us know the cost of option 2
Customer
i still think it could be our quickest
Customer
35 days port to port is just way too long for ushere
Us
I am still waiting for a response from the trainstation
Us
The OF and final truck prices will be adjustedbased on the final delivery time and youraccurate address
Customer

Customer
