As an Amazon or eCommerce seller in the US, expanding your reach to the lucrative UK and EU markets is a dream move. But ocean freight can feel like a vast, churning ocean itself – full of hidden costs, complex regulations, and potential delays. Here at Crossborder Logistics, we help you navigate those waters with smooth sailing, ensuring your products reach your UK and EU customers quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

 

Why Ocean Freight is the Key to US-EU/UK eCommerce Success

Ocean freight offers a powerful combination of affordability and capacity, perfect for bulkier items or large shipments. Here’s how it benefits your business:

  • Cost-Effective: Compared to air freight, ocean freight offers significant savings, especially for larger shipments. This allows you to maintain healthy profit margins while offering competitive prices to your UK and EU customers.
  • High Capacity: Need to send a large inventory batch to Amazon FBA centres? Ocean freight handles it with ease. This is ideal for seasonal stock-ups or popular items.
  • Scalability: Your business is growing? No problem. Our scalable ocean freight solutions adapt to your needs, ensuring you have the capacity to meet customer demand.
