Sea Freight
For Volume Shipping

For brands importing inventory from overseas, ocean freight offers the most cost-effective way to move large volumes of product. 3PLGuys provides full-service sea freight logistics from major manufacturing hubs in China, Southeast Asia, and Europe directly to our Los Angeles fulfillment center. Our proximity to the Port of Long Beach — one of the busiest container ports in North America — means faster drayage, quicker customs clearance, and shorter time-to-shelf for your products.

We offer both full container load (FCL) and less-than-container load (LCL) ocean shipping options. FCL is ideal for large inventory replenishments where you're filling a 20' or 40' container. LCL lets you consolidate smaller shipments with other cargo, paying only for the space you use — perfect for brands testing new products or managing cash flow. Either way, 3PLGuys handles booking, documentation, customs brokerage, and final delivery to our warehouse.

Our sea freight services integrate directly with our fulfillment operations. Containers arriving at port are drayed to our facility, devanned, inspected, and checked into inventory — often within 24-48 hours of arrival. For Amazon sellers, we can prep and ship to FBA warehouses immediately, minimizing the gap between container arrival and products being available for sale. This end-to-end control over the import-to-fulfillment pipeline is why brands choose 3PLGuys over fragmented freight forwarders.
