Case
Global cross-border e-commerce, higher logistics costs directly eat into sellers’ profits and erode their competitiveness—especially for businesses figuring out how to ship from China to USA efficiently. Recently, Penso International Logistics partnered with a cross-border e-commerce company specializing in home daily necessities (which focuses on shipping from China to the USA), providing a customized logistics solution that not only optimized their "ship from China to USA" process but also helped the company reduce its total logistics costs by 30%—translating to over RMB 1 million in annual savings. This transformed the company from one that previously wasted money on logistics into an industry efficiency benchmark.
I. The Client’s Past Troubles in Shipping from China to USA
The e-commerce company’s high logistics costs, especially when shipping from China to USA, stemmed mainly from two key issues:
- It offered a large and diverse range of SKUs, each with different packaging sizes. In the past, when preparing containers for shipping from China to USA, loading was done haphazardly, leading to low space utilization. This forced the company to arrange more ocean freight shipments from China to USA, which in turn drove up shipping costs.
- Without optimized routes for shipping from China to USA, the company frequently faced problems like container roll-offs and delivery delays. Additionally, it had to pay exorbitant handling fees at US destination ports, resulting in significant "hidden costs" throughout its China-to-USA logistics chain.
II. How Penso Optimized "Shipping from China to USA" for the Client
To address these pain points in the client’s China-to-USA logistics, Penso tackled the issue from three key angles to reduce costs:
1. Scientific Container Loading for China-to-USA Shipments：Penso’s team used professional software to input the dimensions and packaging details of the client’s thousands of SKUs (all destined for the US market). By simulating the most space-efficient loading methods, we developed an optimal mixed-loading plan for containers shipping from China to USA. This increased container space utilization by 15%—equivalent to saving the cost of 1.5 containers for every 10 containers shipped from China to the USA.
2. Optimized Route Planning for Shipping from China to USA：Leveraging our global network and stable first-tier agent resources in both China and the USA, Penso helped the client secure cost-effective shipping routes and schedules for shipping from China to USA. This significantly reduced incidents of roll-offs and delays in the China-to-USA logistics process, minimized capital tied up in transit, and avoided US destination ports with high handling fees.
