WTK: 40FT CONTAINER

Postby eurotuner » May 13th, 2021, 3:07 pm

Doing some reasearch, to those in the know: how much it is to bring in a 40ft container from china?
I've heard the cost has skyrocketed 3x from a couble people but it can just be "hear-say" or exagerared. Will contact shipping companies next week once have an understanding of the latest developments where this is concerned.

Why not contact the shipping company now rather than get couple of guestimates from people who may not have had experience with this recently?

There are backlogs all over the world as c19 protocols slow down ports and other logistical hubs.

Ships and containers are taking longer to get back to China and as such costs have increased.

Eastern US from China has gone up 3X as you said...one article I read indicated some more cost effective solutions in LCL options.

The gist is that it will be a while to work itself out.
