Scarbrough International, in an effort to provide the best global logistics service to its customers, offers a consolidation service from Europe and the Far East ports of Shanghai, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.  This service involves retrieving freight from local and inland origins and moving them to a container freight station at the loading port.  We load the multiple LCL shipments into one container at the loading port and move it directly to one of our Midwest customs bonded container freight stations (KC, St. Louis, and Chicago).  The cargo is then unloaded from the container, palletized, and delivered to the doorstep of our customers.

This Scarbrough Group service is better alternative than standard LCL service for many reasons.  Because we move containers directly to the Midwest, as opposed to stopping the cargo at the port of discharge and consolidating onto a truck, we are able to offer faster transit times (typically 7-10 days faster) and remove the risk of pilferage.  This results in a faster and safer transit. 

Scarbrough International offers flexibility in the consolidation program in order to make this program work for you.  We are able to utilize base loads for 20' FCL cargo and lighter 40' FCL cargo and are also able to move cargo from other locations into our consolidations.  If you are interested in how our consolidation service can benefit you, please contact Kyle Morris at 816-584-2460 or kmorris@scarbrough-intl.com.
