Services : LCL & Multi-Vendor Consolidation

If you have multiple overseas vendors, this is a service you should consider. We can arrange for the consolidation of all your freight to reduce costs and put your shipments on a more frequent schedule.

CVI is proud to offer the first and only comprehensive general LCL consolidation and multi-vendor consolidation services from the People’s Republic of China to Norfolk, Virginia.

Advantages of multi-vendor consolidation:

  • Customer visibility: increase ultimate customers’ access to import information
  • Single item purchase: allow single item small purchase
  • Accelerated import order fulfillment: compress ordering cycle, monitor inventory level, reduce cancellations
  • Reduce costs: minimize domestic inventory, cut down overall shipping cost (LCL cost), cut down USA handling cost (warehouse, labor)
  • Flexibility: more distribution options
  • Communication: extensive worldwide network and advanced IT capabilities assure you there will be no unexpected delays for your consolidation shipments
  • Complete visibility: availability of real time information in our P. O. Management web-based system helps you keep track of your shipments; it brings high freight visibility to ensure live and timely cargo status reports
  • Locations: extensive CFS warehouse Dedicated space – a dedicated amount of warehouse space (around 20,000 square feet in each location) allows a generous period of free time in our warehouses
  • Extensive CFS (Container Freight Stations) network: we can optimize the container loading capabilities and minimize less-than-container load shipments in order to further reduce costs
  • Comprehensive services: other services include bar-coding, labeling, inspections, pick & pack, shrink-wrapping, palletization, and scales taking

Service highlights:

  • Faster transit times: all water weekly sailings
  • Lower landed costs: reduced shipping costs by direct container service
