Our Successful Shipping Cases

Case 1: Warehousing and Consolidation for Customized Goods (26.5 CBM, 8,560 KG) from Multiple Suppliers in China

Cargo Type: Cookware, Plates, Bowls, Dishes, Balloons & Lighting Products
Chargeable Weight: 8,560 KG
Cargo Volume: 26.5 CBM
Cargo Quantity: 12 Wooden Crates + 1 Pallet
Shipping Route: China to USA
Shipping Method: Sea Freight DDP Door-to-Door
Transit Time: Approximately 43 Days

The customer was referred to us by one of his suppliers. He sourced customized products from several factories in China and needed a reliable warehouse service to receive, organize, inspect, protect, and consolidate all goods before shipping them together to the USA.

His main requirements were centralized warehouse receiving, supplier coordination, better protection for fragile cargo, and a simpler way to manage a large multi-supplier shipment.

• Warehouse Receiving: We provided our China warehouse address so suppliers in Hebei, Shandong, and Zhejiang could send their completed orders to one centralized location.
• Supplier Follow-Up: Since the products were customized, we helped communicate with the suppliers and followed up on production progress and cargo readiness before each order was sent to our warehouse.

• Cargo Inspection: As the goods arrived, we checked the quantity, packaging condition, labels, and cargo status before preparing them for consolidation.
• Pallet Rebuilding: One pallet arrived in unstable condition and was close to coming apart, so we rebuilt and secured it before international transportation.

• Custom Wooden Crating: Because much of the shipment contained fragile cookware, tableware, and lighting products, we prepared custom wooden crates for better protection. The final cargo was organized into 12 wooden crates and 1 pallet.

• Cargo Consolidation: Once all supplier orders had arrived, we combined the goods into one 26.5 CBM shipment, allowing the customer to manage multiple orders through one international shipment.
• Sea Freight with DDP Arrangement: After warehouse preparation was completed, we arranged Sea Freight DDP Door-to-Door from China to the USA to keep the transportation cost reasonable for the large shipment.
• Customs Clearance & Final Delivery: Under the agreed DDP arrangement, we coordinated US customs clearance, duties, and final inland delivery to the customer’s location in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

The shipment was delivered in approximately 43 days. The customer was highly satisfied with the smooth coordination and overall shipping experience.

Case 2: Warehouse Handling for Machine Equipment (335 KG, 1 Wooden Case) from China to Australia

Cargo Type: Machine Equipment
Chargeable Weight: 335 KG
Cargo Quantity: 1 Wooden Case
Shipping Route: China to Australia
Shipping Method: Sea Freight DDP Door-to-Door
Transit Time: 23 Days After Vessel Departure

The customer contacted us through our official website after a machine failure caused a production stoppage at his factory in Australia. He needed the replacement equipment shipped as soon as possible, but also wanted to control transportation costs and avoid handling customs procedures himself.

His main requirements were supplier pickup in China, warehouse inspection, stronger cargo protection, clear shipping costs, and reliable delivery to Australia.

• Supplier Pickup: We arranged pickup directly from the supplier in Shenyang and transported the machine equipment to the warehouse for shipment preparation.
• Warehouse Receiving & Inspection: After receiving the cargo, we checked the packaging condition and confirmed the shipment details before arranging international transportation.

• Packaging Reinforcement: Since the machine needed better protection during handling and sea transportation, we reinforced the existing wooden packaging before departure.

• Shipment Preparation: Once the cargo condition and packing were confirmed, we prepared the shipment information and coordinated the export arrangements.
• Sea Freight DDP Arrangement: To balance delivery time and cost, we arranged Sea Freight DDP Door-to-Door from China to Australia.
• Customs Clearance & Final Delivery: Under the agreed DDP service, we coordinated customs clearance, duties and taxes before arranging final delivery to the customer’s destination in Australia.

The machine equipment was delivered 23 days after the vessel’s departure. After receiving the replacement machine, the customer was able to resume production and was highly satisfied with the overall service.

If you need a reliable China warehouse to receive and prepare your cargo, send us your supplier locations, product details, and shipping plan. We can also provide repacking services when your cargo needs stronger or more suitable packaging before international shipment.

FAQ

How Does Your Supplier Consolidation Service Save On My Overall Shipping Costs?

If you transport small volumes of goods from different suppliers separately, it will lead to multiple minimum freight charges, local fees, and customs clearance costs.

DFH Logistics offers consolidation services to collect all your orders in the warehouse and pack them into a unified shipment. We support Less than Container Load (LCL) and Full Container Load (FCL) for different volumes of your final package. 

In this method, you only need to pay for one local cost and handle one set of customs paperwork. This also allows for bulk shipping rates, cutting your total logistics expenses by up to 30%.

Are There Any Hidden Fees After the 15-Day Free Warehousing Period Expires?

There is no hidden fee at all. DFH Logistics believes in 100% price transparency. 

Your first 15 days of warehousing are free. We give you ample time for supplier consolidation. After the free period expires, we will charge a daily storage fee. This storage fee will be clearly stated before you place your order. It is charged purely by the actual volume (per Cubic Meter / CBM), and will not add any unexpected management fee to your bill.

You can contact our service team, and they will give you detailed information. 

How Do You Perform the Quantity and Quality Inspection? What if My Goods Are Defective?

Our warehousing team will check the quantity of your goods after they arrive at the warehouse.  In this way, we ensure the amount is aligned with your packing list. As for quality control,  we also check the exterior packing and open the packing to inspect the goods’ condition. In this process, we take photos and videos for you to check. 

If your goods are defective or have any discrepancies with your packing list and cargo description, we will suspend handling your goods and inform you at once. You can coordinate with your supplier before export, and we will handle the goods according to your instructions.
