Distributing Laminate Flooring to an International Market Through Shipping Containers

Containers Provide Reliable Delivery to International Consumers
Laminate flooring has been all the rage since it was first introduced. It offers the look of wood, but without the expense. It is made up of several layers of material bonded together, with a high-resolution photographic image of natural wood on top. Most laminate floors have a moisture resistant layer and are finished with an extremely hard clear coating that makes it resistant to scratching.

Laminate Flooring on the International Stage
Laminate flooring is widely available and can be purchased almost anywhere in the world. If it is not available at your location, many distributors offer international container shipping for laminate flooring.

Retailers usually have a minimum and maximum amount of materials that they can ship for international orders. The minimum amount is determined by the capacity of the container used for shipping, which is usually 5,000 sq ft. Shipping usually takes 10-12 weeks to arrive at its destination, but should be given allowances for outside factors.

Costs and Breakage
As is the case with ocean freight, a certain amount of breakage can be expected. However, should materials breakage account for more than 10% of the entire shipment, you should contact your seller immediately to file the appropriate claim.
