Did you know that the shortest route for goods manufactured in Asia to the U.S. is to the West Coast via ocean freight?
Typically, goods arriving on the West Coast are transported south past Mexico and Central America through the Panama Canal, stopping at Gulf ports before finally reaching the East Coast. This journey involves several ports, but the Port of Los Angeles stands out due to its proximity to major population centers in the Western U.S. Notably, California is the most populous state, home to roughly 38 million people, with the Greater Los Angeles Area accounting for about 18.5 million of those.
Our Los Angeles-based distribution, also known as an order fulfillment center, provides significant advantages in terms of inbound ocean freight logistics, including speed and cost savings. Choosing to ship to the West Coast can reduce costs by approximately $1,800 per container and cut transit time by two weeks.
One of the greatest challenges for retailers and suppliers is dealing with backorders. Being located near the Port of LA allows ShipBots LLC to efficiently manage inventory, ensuring timely storage and distribution of goods.
