When shipping your products from China to our Superhero Freight warehouses, you have the option to use our Superhero Freight Solution.
In order to get your products shipped, we offer a “pre-buy” option where you can purchase the space for your products on the Superhero Freight consolidated container ahead of time.
Our prebuy service allows members of Superhero Freight to buy container space in advance of shipments. Normally freight forwarders only permit you to commit to the amount of cubic meters that you have on an individual order. This severly limits your scalability and your economies of scale when shipping smaller orders, and buy smaller, we mean anything less that a container load (LTL)
The benefit of purchasing pre-buy cbm is the more you purchase, the cheaper the cost to you to ship your products.

Process and Procedures
You can’t ship any goods via SHF consolidated shipments unless you have prebuy cbm
You can’t ship any good if you do not have an adequate balance of prebuy cbm
Recommended to prebuy at least twice the amount of your original SRN cbm
Purchase Prebuy cbm in USD or GBP regardless of which warehouse you send your goods to
You do not need to prebuy cbm for US shipments and prebuy cbm for UK shipments. Once you have purchased prebuy cbm, you can use this balance to ship goods to our SHF warehouses
Your prebuy cbm does not have an expiry date, and is always available. However you must have a current paid membership to make use of it
The more you buy the more you save and you can use the prebuy cbm for as long as you wish
You can then always top up your prebuy cbm balance
