Buy Marble Tile Containers

Deciding to buy marble tile containers saves a great deal in international transport costs when moving a large number of pieces. The containers vary in size and work to minimize damages that commonly occur with long distance shipping. Florida-based Stoneline Group, LLC offers container shipping for their expansive marble selection.

Marble tile has an elegant, simple appearance and requires little maintenance to remain clean. It does not hold heat, allowing buildings in warmer climates to remain cool. Traditionally used for flooring, marble tiles are finding their way onto wall designs, bathroom vanities, showers and tubs. Real estate agents indicate that homes decorated with marble fixtures instantly increase in value. The most popular marble is located in Europe, making shipping costs a major factor in project pricing.

When products are shipped between two points, fees known as landing costs are incurred. Landing costs increase the final pricing of an item. An example are products manufactured in China that cost little to the buyer, but shipping and/or insurance are extra. Policies vary, but most of the time costs associated with marble shipping are the responsibility of the buyer. Consumers are pleased with the savings received when purchasing marble tiles by the container, praising the shipping technique on multiple home improvement forums.

Another advantage of container shipping are the discounts achieved with larger shipping amounts. Other transport methods charge customers more for big shipments. A book by Peter Levesque that explains Chinese export shipping indicates larger containers have a lower landed cost per unit than smaller containers, making size the primary factor in calculating shipping costs instead of weight. This will be good news to some, considering the average marble slab weighs approximately 441 pounds and multiple slabs may be required, depending on the design.

Container specifications vary by company. Some offer marble shipping units with 23 ton capacity, but others hold 5,000 square feet of tile. Choose the smallest unit possible to avoid buying unwanted materials. Most companies have a minimum order amount, but some make special arrangements for partial shipping when a full container is not required. Additional fees may be incurred, so its important to ask before finalizing the purchase.

Stoneline Group, LLC offers customers discounted container shipping for marble units purchased from any of their Turkish-based quarries. Each wooden unit is carefully transported onboard on a shipping container vessel. Units arrive intact, with only minimal damage reported on occasion. Container-based shipping is commonly used for international locales, with purchases in the continental United States (US), Canada and Mexico transported via crate.
