How to Lower Shipping Costs for Disposable Plastic Cups Overseas?
In the business of disposable Plastic Cups, especially when it comes to international transactions, shipping costs can be a major concern. At Kayun, we understand that excellent service isn't solely about providing top - quality disposable plastic cups; it's also about addressing our clients’ unique challenges and offering practical solutions. A recent experience with a client from Puerto Rico vividly showcases our commitment to customer support, flexibility, and efficient international logistics in the disposable plastic cup industry.
The client from the island of Puerto Rico reached out to inquire about a single carton of 1000ml PP injection disposable plastic cups with a 90mm diameter. These cups were to be paired with our signature red heart - shaped injection - molded lids. This particular product is part of our high - end customized disposable plastic cup series, which is popular among beverage chains, dessert shops, and event vendors looking for eye - catching yet practical disposable plastic cup options.
Initially, everything progressed smoothly. The client was satisfied with the product specifications, the quality of our disposable plastic cups, and our willingness to support small minimum order quantities (MOQ). However, when we calculated the international shipping costs, the client became hesitant.
Disposable Plastic Cup
Due to Puerto Rico being a remote island, express and air freight shipping fees are typically higher compared to mainland destinations. The cost of shipping just one carton of disposable plastic cups had a significant impact on the client’s budget. Naturally, they wondered if there were any ways to reduce these shipping costs.
Rather than simply stating that the price was non - negotiable, we adopted a consultative approach. Through in - depth discussions, we presented the client with several logistics optimization options specifically tailored for shipping disposable plastic cups:
Leveraging Freight Forwarders for Disposable Plastic Cup Shipments
We first asked the client if they had their own freight forwarder in China. Many international buyers already collaborate with Chinese agents who assist with consolidating goods. By using an existing freight forwarder, they could potentially save on the shipping costs of their disposable plastic cup order. Leveraging the expertise and network of freight forwarders can streamline the shipping process and often lead to cost savings for disposable plastic cup shipments.

Consolidated Shipping for Cost - effective Disposable Plastic Cup Delivery
Next, we inquired whether the client was currently purchasing any other goods from China. If they were working with other suppliers, we proposed holding their disposable plastic cup order temporarily. Then, once their other orders were ready, we could consolidate all the shipments. Consolidated shipping is an effective strategy that combines multiple smaller shipments into one larger one, reducing overall shipping costs for disposable plastic cups and other items.
Customized Logistics Solutions for Disposable Plastic Cup Exports
In addition to the above options, we also offered to create a customized logistics plan for the client. This plan would take into account factors such as the frequency of their disposable plastic cup orders, their target delivery times, and any specific requirements they had. By tailoring the logistics solution to their needs, we aimed to find the most cost - effective and efficient way to ship their disposable plastic cups overseas.
