Image
Shipping standard parcels from China is easy. But what happens when your cargo is too big for a standard container, too heavy for regular couriers, or gets rejected by local trucking companies upon arrival in the USA? As many furniture importers and industrial buyers found out this year, "standard" logistics providers often walk away when the dimensions get challenging.
