Today, almost everyone who is faced with the need to send a small volume of goods from the countries of the Near and Far Abroad to the Russian Federation knows the term delivery of groupage cargo. Most often, it means this kind of structuring of products sent to another country by sea, land or air, in which goods of different owners are placed in one container unit. Earlier, when this technique was not implemented in widespread practice, small wholesale companies had to charter entire containers, paying 100% of the cost of their rental, and regardless of how much space their products occupied in them. Today, trading companies selling imported goods can significantly save on transportation, since it is much cheaper to ship a groupage or, as it is also called, consolidated cargo than to transport a large consignment of goods.
The mechanism for sending products according to the "consolidated cargo" scheme is as follows: goods from different customers are collected at the consolidation warehouse of the logistics company, they are packed into one space (most often it is a metal container), after which the cargo, ready for shipment, is sent to the port, to the railway station, to the airport or directly on board the vehicle (depending on the selected type of transportation). All the way, goods belonging to different firms travel together. In exactly the same composition, they go through customs and arrive at the next warehouse, only this time in the country of destination. From the warehouse, the product is disassembled by its owners or delivered to the place of delivery (if such is stipulated by the contract).
The most remarkable thing is that the delivery of groupage cargo is not too long in time, very often the goods arrive much faster than expected. But here a lot also depends on the speed of the vehicles used in each specific case.
