Explore our tailored global transport offerings, covering ocean FCL/LCL, expedited air freight, and streamlined DDP door-to-door delivery systems customized for OEM supply chains.
Founded in Los Angeles in 1974 as American Export Lines and evolved into SHIPIT Logistics®, our enterprise stands as a flagship model of end-to-end integration. Serving as a trusted Custom OEM Last Mile Manufacturer & Supplier, we bridge the gap between heavy industrial manufacturing outputs and precise final-mile delivery networks across 150+ countries.
In modern global commerce, manufacturing precision is only as effective as the supply chain that carries it. OEM buyers and multi-tier enterprises require seamless execution from factory floor pickup, ocean/air consolidation, U.S. Customs clearance, transloading, to doorstep delivery. Operating with complete regulatory rigor, our operational infrastructure guarantees total accountability at every touchpoint.
We combine decades of asset-backed logistical mastery with strategic coastal warehousing in Los Angeles and nationwide transloading hubs. Our custom OEM supply chain solutions eliminate inter-carrier friction, lower landed unit costs, and enforce strict delivery deadlines.

For OEM components and finished products, managing separate transport entities creates severe friction. We recommend implementing Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) door-to-door protocols. By synthesizing freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and last-mile drayage under a single NVOCC contract, importers mitigate risks associated with unexpected demurrage, detention, and customs hold penalties.
When sourcing components from disparate OEM suppliers across Asia or Europe, shipping fragmented LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments inflates CBM costs. Our Buyer's Consolidation Architecture pools purchase orders at origin hubs, assembling full container loads (FCL) prior to ocean transit. This strategic intervention yields up to 35% freight savings while simplifying U.S. customs entry processing.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection mandates Importer Security Filing (ISF 10+2) submission at least 24 hours prior to vessel loading at foreign ports. As an in-house customs broker, SHIPIT Logistics integrates automated compliance engines to prevent $5,000+ non-compliance fines, ensuring uninterrupted final-mile delivery transitions at West and East Coast ports.
The global manufacturing ecosystem is undergoing a structural transformation driven by supply chain volatility, regulatory evolution, and digital transparency requirements. Procurement executives must align their strategies with these emerging paradigms:
The final-mile segment has evolved from simple point-to-point trucking into a highly sophisticated data-driven operation. Tomorrow’s market leaders leverage real-time telematics, algorithmic routing, and automated dock scheduling to eliminate final-mile delays.
As a specialized Custom OEM Last Mile Manufacturer & Supplier partner, SHIPIT Logistics integrates proprietary tracking technologies with decentralized warehouse management systems (WMS). This ensures that whether cargo moves via ocean container, air express charter, or flatbed heavy-lift trailer, shippers retain end-to-end control from factory clearance to destination offloading.

Yes. SHIPIT Logistics is an FMC-licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OFF and NVOCC, Org# 004869, License# 001803), an IATA/CNS licensed air forwarder (IATA/CNS# 01134480012), a TSA-certified Indirect Air Carrier (IAC), and an FMCSA licensed property broker (USDOT# 2629896, MC-910043) and freight forwarder (FF# 53067).
Custom OEM last mile solutions ensure that once manufactured components arrive at entry ports, they are swiftly cleared through customs, transloaded out of ocean containers, pre-sorted, and delivered directly to assembly lines or retail fulfillment networks without intermediate holding delays.
As a operational rule of thumb, LCL consolidation is economical for smaller volumes below 13-15 CBM. However, once cargo volume exceeds half of a 20-foot container, FCL becomes significantly more cost-effective. FCL also eliminates touchpoints, reducing transit variability and risk of cargo damage.
Buyer's consolidation aggregates purchase orders from multiple factories into a single dedicated container at an origin consolidation warehouse. This process lowers unit transport costs, minimizes customs declaration fees, and grants buyers complete authority over delivery schedules.
The Importer Security Filing (ISF) must be transmitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection at least 24 hours prior to loading onto the vessel at the port of origin. SHIPIT Logistics manages ISF filings directly alongside in-house customs clearance to prevent severe financial penalties.
