I'm planning out my next inventory order right now and am most likely going to be shipping sea freight.
I would prefer to handle and send my product to FBA myself, but I'm on the east coast right now, so I'm thinking it would be more economical and save time to just have it shipped to the west coast and have a freight forwarder send it to FBA.
By having my freight delivered to California and having a freight forwarder sort it and ship it to FBA from there, I know I can save 2 weeks (21 days at sea vs 35 days), and possibly some money.
I've found a few freight forwarders who have done this, and plan to call them up to get quotes, but I thought I'd ask for recommendations first.
I know a few people on here use FBA and live abroad, so I figure you'd have to use some type of service like this.
What is your experience? Any recommended companies to deal with?
