Shipping Resin Jewelry from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Eldoret, Kenya

Shipping Resin Jewelry from Guangzhou/Shenzhen to Eldoret, Kenya

Shipping Options: FCL and LCL

  1. Full Container Load (FCL)
    For larger shipments, Full Container Load (FCL) is a cost-effective option. This involves shipping your resin jewelry in either a 20ft or 40ft container, which is fully packed with your goods. FCL is ideal if you have a large quantity of products and want the entire container to be exclusively for your goods.

    • 20ft Container: A 20ft container typically holds up to 28,000 kilograms of cargo, depending on the nature of the goods and how efficiently it is packed.
    • 40ft Container: A 40ft container provides more space, with a capacity of up to 58,000 kilograms of cargo.

    Both options include CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), which means the price covers the cost of goods, insurance, and the freight to the destination port in Kenya.

  2. Less than Container Load (LCL)
    If your shipment is smaller, a Less than Container Load (LCL) service is available. LCL allows you to share container space with other shipments, reducing your overall cost. LCL is generally a more economical choice for smaller volumes, but it may take a bit longer due to the consolidation and deconsolidation processes at the ports.

    The sea freight journey for both FCL and LCL typically takes around 21 days from Guangzhou or Shenzhen to Eldoret, Kenya, which is a major inland city served by the Eldoret Port (as the port services and customs clearance are facilitated at Mombasa).

Packaging of Resin Jewelry

Resin jewelry is delicate and must be carefully packaged to avoid damage during transit. Proper packaging is crucial for protecting the goods and ensuring they arrive in perfect condition. Here are some common practices for packaging resin jewelry:

  1. Individual Packaging
    Each piece of resin jewelry should be individually packaged in a protective material, such as bubble wrap, foam, or padded pouches. This ensures that each item is cushioned and protected from impact, vibrations, and potential scratches.

  2. Cardboard Boxes
    Once the jewelry is individually wrapped, it should be placed in sturdy cardboard boxes. These boxes help maintain the shape of the jewelry and offer additional protection against external pressures. It’s advisable to use double-walled boxes for extra strength.

  3. Palletizing
    For larger shipments, especially in FCL, the packaged jewelry can be consolidated onto wooden pallets. Palletizing the goods helps with ease of handling and ensures that the goods are evenly distributed within the container. It also reduces the risk of damage during loading and unloading.

  4. Temperature and Humidity Considerations
    Resin jewelry can be sensitive to extreme temperature fluctuations and humidity, so it’s essential to consider climate protection. Using moisture-absorbing packs and ensuring that the container is sealed correctly will help mitigate these issues during long-distance sea transit.

  5. Marking and Labeling
    Proper labeling is important, particularly for customs clearance and identification purposes. Each box should be clearly labeled with details about the contents, the destination port (Mombasa for onward transport to Eldoret), and the consignee’s details.
