to the Top -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW
TO SAVE MONEY BY CONSOLIDATING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | When
an importer buys small amounts from more than one supplier in a given country,
the ocean freight rate is far less important than efficient consolidation. For
example, a company is anticipating purchasing from three suppliers in Hong Kong.
It can either choose option 1 -- let the supplier choose the carrier to handle
the shipment or it can choose option 2 -- consolidate the three cargoes and ship
them simultaneously. |
Shipment Option
1 -- Using shipping companies chosen by suppliers SHIP-
CBM RATE TOTAL HANDLING

= $382.50 Note:
Option 1 uses lower ocean freight
rates than Option 2, yet the cost is
$382.50 lower in Option 2!!! BENEFITS
OF CONSOLIDATION
1. Reduced transportation cost 2.
Easier logistical planning (various shipments arrive at one time)
