A container freight station is a facility where freight shipments are consolidated or de-consolidated, and staged between transport legs. A CFS is typically located in proximity to an ocean, port, or airport where cargo containers are transported to and from.
Do you have shipping containers that need a home at which to consolidate, and from which to ship out? A container freight station is a location, usually a warehouse, where products and other goods are collected, stored, and where they wait to be shipped to the next location. This process is a major part of the product shipping industry and it’s important to understand how the process works. They are an integral part of any LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping.
When an order prepared for shipping is less than a full container, it is most often more cost effective to ship by LCL. In this instance, the freight is taken to a warehouse where it waits for consolidation, or in some cases, for the rest of the goods to catch up. The container is then loaded onto a truck or ship and sent to its destination.
A good, trustworthy container freight station is run by professionals who understand what it takes to safely store and efficiently ship your products. They skillfully handle the shipment of your products and follow your delivery instructions.
