Order Consolidation Strategies

Consolidating orders maximizes container utilization and reduces per-unit costs: 1. Product Consolidation: Combine multiple fastener types in one container - Example: Bolts + nuts + washers + anchors = complete order 2. Time Consolidation: Aggregate orders over 2-4 weeks - Place orders bi-weekly instead of ad-hoc - Better container fill and pricing 3. Multi-Supplier Consolidation: One freight forwarder for multiple suppliers - Single container, single shipping cost TradeGo offers consolidation services - we can coordinate with other Chinese suppliers to fill containers.

Container Loading Optimization

Maximize your container investment: 20ft Container: - Volume: 28-33 CBM - Weight limit: 21.7 MT - Optimal load: 18-20 MT fasteners 40ft Container: - Volume: 58-68 CBM - Weight limit: 26.7 MT - Optimal load: 22-25 MT fasteners Tips: - Use uniform pallet sizes (1140x1140mm) - Mix product types to fill awkward spaces - Place heavier items at bottom - Leave access通道 for unloading

Annual Supply Contracts

Annual contracts lock in pricing and ensure supply: Benefits: - 15-25% discount vs spot pricing - Guaranteed supply during high-demand periods - Fixed lead times - Priority production scheduling Typical Structure: - Commit to annual volume (e.g., 200 MT) - Quarterly pricing review with cap - Monthly delivery schedule - Flexible SKU mix within commitment TradeGo offers annual supply contracts with volume commitments from 100 MT/year.
