My company has won a contract to provide office furnishings to a company that is located in Germany. We estimate the best method would be to ship our products via established ocean routes rather than by to ship by air. Therefore, our company needs to establish a route for ocean cargo to Germany. While we are quite adept at preparing our shipments to ship by land or air, this will be our first shipment to prepare for shipment by sea. Are there any special considerations to apply as we pack our products? Should we load the containers a certain way, or do we load them as we would any other truckload equipment? Does your company pickup and deliver our shipments? If not, then how many companies would handle our shipments before delivery? Also, what would be the approximate cost for us to ship by this method? As you can see, we have many questions about how the ocean shipping methods function. Therefore, the more information your company can provide with your email, the better it will assist us in our planning efforts.
