Case Study: Saving 30% on Shipping Wedding Supplies from China to Canada via Expert Consolidation

One of our long-term Canadian clients has been partnering with us for over a year to streamline their supply chain. Their business focuses on wholesale wedding and event supplies, sourcing a vast array of products from China for seasonal shipments to the Canadian market.

The Challenge: High Costs from 60+ Different Suppliers

Sourcing from 60+ different suppliers allows the client to maintain high product variety and quality. However, it creates significant China logistics challenges:

• Fragmented shipments arriving at the warehouse at different times.
• Inconsistent packaging standards and mismatched carton sizes.
• High risk of damage during LCL (Less than Container Load) transit.
• Bloated shipping costs and complex customs documentation.

Our Solution: Professional Consolidation & Repacking Strategy

To optimize the supply chain efficiency, our team implemented a comprehensive warehouse management strategy:

1. Centralized Collection: Gathering goods from all 60+ factories into our specialized China consolidation warehouse.
2. Quality Inspection: Categorizing mixed cargo by fragility, size, and material.
3. Space Optimization: Repacking and restructuring cartons to eliminate "dead space."
4. Smart Unitization: Combining small parcels into large, stable, and protected cargo units.

Results: Transforming LCL into Scalable Growth

Through strategic freight consolidation, the client's seasonal shipping rhythm has become predictable and highly cost-effective.

• Volume: Cumulative volume has exceeded 2 Full Containers (FCL equivalent) over time.
• Safety: Significant reduction in cargo damage due to reinforced professional packaging.
• Simplicity: One single point of contact for 60+ suppliers.
