Overseas warehousing that starts at the Shenzhen factory

Holding stock close to your buyers changes the shipping question from "how fast can one container move" to "how often do we replenish". Hovmar Logistics plans both halves together, so the warehouse receiving rules are decided before the cartons are packed in China.

Three models we plan around

A transfer warehouse receives full containers, breaks them down and forwards pallets. A fulfilment warehouse holds SKUs and ships individual orders. A bonded or duty-suspended option keeps goods under customs control while the import decision is pending.

The right model depends on order profile, not on warehouse size. Slow-moving bulky goods rarely justify a fulfilment setup; fast-moving small parcels usually do.

• Transfer and deconsolidation for regional distribution
• SKU-level fulfilment with receiving, pick and pack, and returns handling
• Bonded or deferred storage where the import entry is intentionally delayed

What we coordinate from Shenzhen

Carton labels, pallet patterns and the packing list are agreed before production is booked. That single step prevents most receiving disputes, because the warehouse scan matches the document the carrier already holds.

We then link the replenishment cycle to sailing schedules or air capacity, and agree a minimum stock level that triggers the next booking.

• Label and carton specification issued to the supplier
• Packing list matched to the warehouse receiving template
• Replenishment calendar aligned with ocean or air lead time
• One stock report format shared between our team and your warehouse system

Costs you should see before committing

Inbound transport, receiving, storage by pallet or cubic metre, pick and pack, and last-mile carriage are separate lines. We quote them separately so a low headline storage rate does not hide expensive handling.

For importers comparing FCL and LCL, warehouse receiving fees often decide the answer: a cheap LCL rate can be outweighed by repeated receiving charges.

Who this suits

Amazon and marketplace sellers, distributors with regional dealers, and manufacturers holding spare parts near their installed base benefit most. If you ship a handful of full containers a year directly to one consignee, a warehouse layer usually adds cost without adding service.
