Mexico's Susan is very confident in letting our international shipping company help her purchase stationery.

Twenty years ago, when international shipping companies were still in the 1.0 stage and only handled port-to-port services, I led the company into the 2.0 stage, offering door-to-door services. Now, while others are doing door-to-door, we have advanced to the 3.0 stage, integrating trade and shipping to provide services to our clients.

For example, Susan from Mexico is in the stationery business and often purchases stationery from China. Because she needs to select products, negotiate prices, and visit new factories, Susan always travels all the way from Mexico to China. After collaborating with us a few times, I told Susan that she didn't need to come for every purchase; we could help her with product selection and factory visits. Knowing that we are a very reliable international shipping company, she entrusted us with the task.

From going to the stationery production areas to find suppliers, negotiating prices, inspecting factories, to the final shipment, all the steps were assisted by our Hong Ming Da Logistics. In the end, we helped Susan purchase 28 containers of stationery and shipped them to Mexico. Upon receiving the goods, Susan praised our comprehensive and thorough service. This shows that clients don't need to be on-site; they only need to tell us their requirements, and we incorporate trade into our one-stop service, something few international shipping companies can offer.

Last year, Huawei had a batch of goods worth over 40 million RMB that needed to be air-shipped to South America. The conventional route provided by international shipping companies was from Shenzhen to Miami, USA, and then transferred to South America. However, due to international circumstances, transshipping in Miami might result in confiscation.

We decided to come up with a new routing plan and eventually created two alternative routes: China-Australia-South America and China-Europe-South America. However, we couldn't make a decision. As senior members of the WCA (87909), we found a senior international shipping company in Europe through the WCA that had similar experience and resources. The person in charge was about the same age, around 50.

I convened our deputy general manager and overseas manager and held multiple video conferences with the agent company to discuss the details. We communicated each step of the transportation process clearly. The agent company in Europe made three plans, and we in Shenzhen also made three plans. The goal was to ensure smooth connections at every step. Otherwise, if any step had issues when the goods reached Europe, it would extend the time and increase the costs, possibly resulting in expenses that no international shipping company could bear. Therefore, our plan requirements were extremely high.

Later, the goods successfully reached the South American destination from Shenzhen via Europe. When the client received the first shipment, the entire company cheered. It was a reward for our days and nights of effort. This wasn't just a successful delivery; it also pioneered a new perfect transshipment route from China to South America, which is very significant for an international shipping company. Today, this transshipment route has become very mature.

Last week, we handled a shipment from Ningbo to Shanghai by truck, then by Matson express to Los Angeles, followed by trucking to Miami, and finally air shipping to South America. This is the longest transshipment route we have handled so far. With so many transshipment steps, each step must ensure time coordination to guarantee the shortest transit time and minimal costs. This isn't something every international shipping company can easily achieve; it requires years of experience, familiarity with each route, and extensive shipping resources to create such a perfect long-distance transshipment plan.

Now, we have essentially upgraded to become an international logistics solution integrator, not just an international shipping company. Such an upgrade is a leap in development, which is impossible without 26 years of logistics experience and 3,000 alliance logistics resources.

As an international shipping company with 26 years of operation, we have our own 1800 square meter grade-A office building in Shenzhen, welcome to visit or video call; we have our own logistics fleet and a 6000 square meter overseas warehouse in Atlanta, one of the few in the industry.
