Big Savings at the Grocery Store

Highlights:

  • ICAT bundled all 250 displays into three truckloads as a singular shipment and directed them to a central distribution point in Toronto…
  • ICAT saved the shipper more than $30,000

Challenge:

When one of ICAT Logistics Detroit’s clients needed to ship product displays from the United States to the pharmacy section of numerous grocery stores throughout Canada, they discovered a costly problem: Shipping directly would mean a tariff of $125 paid at the entry point for each of the 250 displays. That would break the company’s budget by adding $31,250 to their shipping bill.

Big Picture:

That’s where ICAT’s experienced team figured out an ingenious solution. The company paid $125 just once because ICAT bundled all 250 displays into three truckloads as a singular shipment and directed them to a central distribution point in Toronto. From there, the displays were sent to stores across Canada.

By paying a tariff once — rather than 250 times — the shipper saved more than $30,000.

That’s just as good as ringing up sales
