Shipping Update: Don't Fall Victim to Bait-and-Switch Tactics!

Dear Valued Customer,

Are you concerned about rising shipping costs? Unfortunately, there's no relief in sight. East Coast rates are expected to surge past $10,000 in July.

We're urging caution against lowball quotes from importers offering unrealistically low rates (under $5,000). These quotes often lead to hidden surcharges or even undelivered containers.

A Recent Example:

Last week, we encountered a shocking quote where the importer offered a rate of $3,900 for a shipment that realistically costs $9,000. Don't be a victim of bait-and-switch tactics!
