Re: Shipping questions desperately need answers

Need More info about your Shipping situation.
But:
Ship by Water.
 Try trading a longer shipping contract for a better rate.
OR See if you can recalculate your shipping-and-storage costs, then
reduce it by having your freight stay en -route longer, thereby reducing
your storage needs and expenses.. that may show a different
profitability picture.

And maybe You can try using a freight consolidator, shipping by
Transpacific Liner,, Having shipper pay (F.O.B.)  handling up to
on-board at his end, and/ or buying in bigger bulk, even if you need to
develop a partnership with a stateside bonded warehouse and buy back
your freight in smaller Lots. Likewise, you may be better off having the
freight arrive in canada and reshipping it from there. And you can
always ask for the first Lot to be shipped Free by the Shipper as a
quality test by locating a consignee who may be willing to do a free
first time deal, thereby reducing your annual net cost somewhat, even
though it was a one time deal.
