What Ever Ocean Ship

We move full container loads (FCL), less-than-container loads (LCL), and breakbulk / oversize cargo (BC) from any of our five sourcing-region ports in China.

Full container load ship China ocean freight FCL

Sea-express — ocean main-leg + courier last-mile (UPS / FEDEX / DPD). Best for parcels, fast-moving consumer goods, and FBA replenishment where door-arrival speed matters.

Sea-trucking— ocean main-leg + trucking last-mile. Best for furniture, heavy goods, B2B pallets, FBA bulk, and OOG / oversize cargo to door (covering LA / OAK / HOU / CHI / NY / SAV / MIA / TPA and inland points).

Why My Ever Ocean

Three-market self-operated product matrix

USA, Canada, and UK — every lane on this page runs under our own self-operated product line, not subcontracted to a single-market agent. Across the three markets combined we handle 20,000+ containers per year.

Five origin ports + peak-season space security

Self-operated head-haul network across Shenzhen / Guangzhou (South China) and Yiwu / Ningbo / Shanghai (East China). When one port runs tight, we shift origin within 24–48 hours — see Case 2 below.

Alliance + contract depth

Space-secured contracts across 2M / THE / OA — the three major ocean alliances — combined with BCO / NAC / FIX contract types. Peak-season space priority that single-channel agents can’t match.

FAQ


Within 24 hours, with a port-by-port time and cost outline — itemized when DDP or VAT-included is selected.

Pick sea-trucking for furniture, heavy goods, OOG / oversize, and B2B pallets. Pick sea-express for parcel-friendly volume and FBA replenishment. Same ocean main-leg either way.

Self-VAT if you have a GB EORI + VAT registration and want HMRC’s C79 monthly statement (needed for downstream resale audits and full input-VAT recovery). VAT-included if you’d rather we file and prepay on your behalf — faster onboarding, no HMRC paperwork on your side.

On-Time VAN if Toronto / Calgary / Montréal arrival can flex by a week or two and budget is the priority. On-Schedule USA-transit if you need 6–18 days faster delivery for replenishment or contracted retail windows.

DDP covers ocean freight, destination clearance, duties, taxes, and last-mile delivery — but not product compliance (FDA / FCC / CPSC etc.), IOR responsibility (you remain the importer of record in most cases), and AD/CVD investigations on specific HTS codes.

Quote comparison is scope-first, not headline-price-first. A lower number that excludes destination DO, ISF, customs bond, AMS, or trucking surcharges isn’t actually lower — it just defers the cost to destination.

Yes. We carry TT Club forwarder-liability coverage as standard, and we can arrange all-risk cargo insurance through our network on request — quoted alongside the freight. Claims are filed by our destination team together with the partner adjuster.

By case. We screen against UN / IMDG class and require a valid MSDS plus origin-port DG declaration. Reach out before quoting; we’ll confirm route feasibility within 24 hours.
