About the American Multimodal International Deliveries - AMID Logistics, LLC

It is essential to understand that all companies in the international cargo transportation industry ultimately rely on the same carriers. Not many ocean carriers are capable of transporting cargo between continents. However, sea carriers typically do not work with the public. They handle large volumes of goods and prefer not to deal with small-volume, occasional, and inexperienced exporters.

Smaller international shipping companies are typically open to the public. However, while every international shipping company may have its unique branding, add-on services, and customer support practices, the actual transportation of goods is outsourced to the global ocean carriers. U.S. Freight forwarders bundle shipments from multiple customers to be accepted by carriers and reduce shipping costs. They book those shipments on behalf of shippers and dispatch them with the common carriers. Understanding this can help consumers make more informed decisions when selecting a global transportation provider.

AMID Logistics is a U.S. Freight Forwarder Specializing in LCL Freight

American Multimodal International Deliveries—AMID Logistics, LLC is a licensed and bonded U.S. Freight forwarder. It has been an owner-operating Ocean Transportation Intermediary (U.S. OTI) since 2007.

According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, "...a U.S. Ocean freight forwarder is an individual or company that dispatches shipments from the United States via common carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for those shipments on behalf of shippers. Ocean freight forwarders also prepare and process the documentation and perform activities related to those shipments."

AMID Logistics supports transnational shipments virtually from any location in the United States. We specialize in Less than Container Load (LCL) from the USA to numerous destinations worldwide.

LCL is a low-cost international shipping solution for delivering loads that cannot fill an entire 20- or 40-foot sea container. It refers to overseas deliveries of crates and boxes stacked on pallets. We take pride in delivering high-quality services, and our customers' testimonials truly reflect that.

The online freight calculator is perfect for conveying commercial cargo, e-commerce, and moving personal belongings and household goods from the USA to almost anywhere overseas.

LCL is primarily designed for experienced exporters, but AMID Logistics also offers this service to ordinary customers. The online calculator integrates direct freight rates from well-known and reliable Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (cargo consolidators).

That allows us to offer affordable international shipping costs that are among the lowest on the market.

Recently, we launched a new version of the calculator at OceanFreightUSA.com. It is optimized for mobile devices, allowing you to manage your shipments even on the go.

AMID Logistics is committed to handling your shipment until your goods arrive in the destination country.

The Benefits of Utilizing LCL Freight

Less-than-Container-Load offers a cost-effective alternative to booking an entire container for individuals and businesses conveying smaller cargo volumes internationally. Instead of paying for unused container space, shippers only pay for the portion they occupy, making it ideal for shipments that are too large for parcel services but not large enough to fill a full container.

Another advantage of LCL is its flexibility and accessibility. Whether you ship boxes, crates, or pallets from the United States, these services allow you to consolidate your load with others heading to the same destination. This means you can schedule shipments more frequently without needing to accumulate large volumes, which helps reduce storage costs and speeds up delivery cycles.

LCL also simplifies the logistics process. AMID Logistics offers online freight calculators to estimate shipping costs instantly. This tool helps shippers plan more efficiently and transparently, eliminating surprises related to volume, destination charges, or documentation.

Finally, LCL is a reliable and secure option. Reputable carriers ensure proper cargo handling, palletizing, and processing shipments for global transportation. With professional support, you can confidently navigate your shipment, whether shipping personal belongings or commercial commodities from the United States overseas.
