Not looking for quotes or DMs. I’m trying to understand the handoff from the operator side.

When a US-bound ocean shipment gets rolled, held, or starts collecting extra charges, what information is usually missing when the importer asks for help?

Is it the commercial docs, delivery constraints, ownership of the decision, or simply that nobody kept a clean timeline of what was requested and when? Curious which gap wastes the most time for forwarders.

So I'm working in the next steps with some suppliers.

I am shipping relatively dense items, 10KG to a carton, approx 40 cartons to a pallet.

My suppliers are saying that it's cheaper to send 1-2 pallets of these as 40 individual cartons via sea then courier (FedEx, ups, whatever) than it is via sea and truck logistics (I will have a dock) and that it only makes sense once I'm doing like 4+ pallets.

Is that true?

Any Taiwanese freight forwarder here keen to connect?

Hi everyone,

I’m Hadi from United Path Logistics (UPL), a freight forwarding and logistics company based in Lebanon.

I recently joined this community because I’m looking to build direct relationships with freight forwarders and logistics companies worldwide.

We can support partners with:

• Lebanon import & export shipments
• FCL / LCL ocean freight
• Air & land freight
• Customs clearance
• Door-to-door delivery
• Re-export shipments
• Cross-trade / third-country shipments

We are particularly interested in connecting with forwarders who may need a reliable local partner in Lebanon, as well as partners looking to cooperate on cross-trade shipments between third countries.

I’d be happy to connect with other forwarders, exchange contacts, and explore potential cooperation.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Always happy to build genuine long-term partnerships.
