Short answerInstead of shipping Mexican merchandise to the buyer's warehouse first, a 3PL in Laredo, Texas, can store it at the border and distribute it directly to each customer by LTL or FTL, saving freight and warehouse space.
A commercial transaction between an American and a Mexican company has a ton of processes. One of them is the logistic.
Imagine a transaction in which the seller is the Mexican company and the US company is the buyer. The goods are going to be sold at the USA. Typically the goods will ship from the Mexican company directly to the US Company. The US company will now manage all the merchandise from their warehouse and distribute to their customers. This will require moving all the merchandise to the buyers warehouse, and that the buyer takes care of all the distribution.
There is a more efficient,cheaper and faster way to this. FAST DISTRIBUTION SERVICES can coordinate customs clearance on both sides of the border, and once the merchandise crosses the border we can store all the merchandise in our warehouse. From there we can do all the LTL and FTL distribution your merchandise requires.
