One sailing a week.
One price per CBM.
Zero surprises at the port.

Fortune Connect's weekly consolidated shipping runs sailings out of Foshan, Yiwu and Shenzhen every single week — moving even small cargo on the kind of schedule buyers used to pay full-container rates for.

The old way of LCL

Waiting six weeks for someone else's container to fill isn't a business plan.

Traditional LCL freight forwarders quote a rate on Monday, then wait until enough other importers cough up enough cargo to make the container profitable — for them. Meanwhile your samples, your bulk order and your project inventory sit in a warehouse in Shenzhen at your expense, and every enquiry to the broker gets the same answer: "next week, next week, next week."

Silent markups

Brokers quote 'all-in' USD/CBM rates that don't include destination handling, warehouse pull-out, or the customs coordination they later invoice as extras.

No fixed schedule

'It sails when it sails' means your delivery window is somebody else's cargo volume — not your project timeline.

Two invoices, four contact points

Origin agent, destination agent, customs broker, last-mile trucker. Nobody owns the shipment end-to-end. Nobody picks up the phone when it's stuck.

How Fortune Connect ships weekly

Five clean steps. One senior coordinator. One bill of lading.

  1. 01
    You send cargo to our origin warehouse

    Foshan (Guangzhou), Yiwu, or Shenzhen — whichever is closest to your supplier. We give the factory the address, we book pickup if requested, we photograph the cartons on arrival, and we bond every SKU against your PO in Fortune OS. You see the intake photos in your portal within four working hours.

  2. 02
    Consolidation, palletisation, container stuff

    Cargo is measured, weighed and lashed. Where the shipment allows, we palletise to reduce transit damage. We book the container against the week's sailing based on total cubed volume — never on hypothetical bookings — and stuff it against a labelled load plan you can see.

  3. 03
    Fixed weekly sailing

    Saturday sailings from Foshan and Shenzhen, Friday from Yiwu. If your cargo made the cut-off, it moves that week. If not, it moves the following week — same rate, same route, no back-and-forth on quotes.

  4. 04
    Destination customs, on our books

    We clear customs at Nhava Sheva, Kolkata, Chennai (India), Birgunj (Nepal), or Phuentsholing (Bhutan). One coordinator. One invoice. Duties billed on actuals with the customs entry number visible in your portal.

  5. 05
    Last-mile delivery to your site

    In-country trucking to your warehouse or site. Delivery signed for and photographed. Damage claims (if any) opened the same day the truck offloads — with cargo insurance already coordinated on CIF/DDP quotations.

Serviced corridors

Every corridor runs weekly. Not "occasionally".

Some routes run 52 sailings a year, some 48. What we don't run is "when there's enough cargo".

Why buyers move to Fortune Connect

Everything a full-container buyer gets — at LCL cargo sizes.

Because Fortune Connect runs its own warehouses in Foshan and Yiwu, and buys freight at the volume of a Section-B project sourcing arm — not a small brokerage — LCL customers ride on the same commercial and operational discipline our container-load buyers have relied on since 1991.

You get schedule certainty, single-invoice pricing, an owner-visible portal, and the same senior coordinator who handles our sourcing accounts. You do not get a discount broker on the other end of a WhatsApp forward.

Schedule certainty

Cut-off Tuesday/Wednesday, sailing Friday/Saturday. If you missed this week, you're in next week at the same rate. Project-planning-grade reliability.

Portal-visible cargo

Every carton is bonded against your PO in Fortune OS. Intake photos, container number, load plan, BL and destination customs docs — all in your login.

Single point of ownership

One named coordinator from Foshan warehouse intake to your Siliguri / Delhi / Chennai / Kathmandu warehouse. No handoffs, no 'that's the agent's job'.

Corridor-priced, not one-off quoted

Rates published quarterly per corridor. Your fifth shipment is quoted the same as your first. No penalty for onboarding, no ambush on renewal.

Common questions

Straight answers, no hedging.

What is the minimum cargo size?+
No formal minimum. We regularly consolidate from 0.5 CBM. Below 0.5 CBM we quote both air and consolidated LCL so you can pick the better economics.
When exactly is the cut-off?+
Foshan and Shenzhen close Wednesday 18:00 CST for Saturday sailings. Yiwu closes Tuesday 18:00 CST for Friday sailings. Cargo received after cut-off rolls into next week at the same rate.
Do you handle destination customs?+
Yes. Every corridor above is coordinated end-to-end. Duties are billed on actuals against the destination customs invoice; our coordination fee is baked into the CBM rate.
What Incoterms do you offer?+
FOB, CIF and DDP as standard. FCA and EXW available on request when your supplier insists on them. Cargo insurance is included on CIF and DDP; on FOB and EXW you must arrange your own — we can quote via our partner insurer.
How are damages handled?+
Report visible damage on the delivery receipt at offloading, and any concealed damage within 48 hours per our Return, Refund & Cancellation Policy. Photo and video evidence goes to the insurance claim the same day.
Can you deliver to my in-country warehouse?+
Yes. Last-mile trucking in India, Nepal and Bhutan is part of the DDP quotation. On FOB/CIF orders we can quote local trucking separately.
What if my supplier is not in Foshan / Yiwu / Shenzhen?+
We book intra-China trucking to move cargo from your supplier to whichever consolidation warehouse gives the best sailing schedule. Trucking is billed on actuals with the driver's weighbridge slip.
Ready to move

Send your CBM. We'll come back with a rate and a sailing date the same day.

Tell us origin city, destination, cargo type and estimated CBM. If you're not sure of the CBM, tell us the supplier — we'll get the packing list ourselves.
