5 classifications of container usage purposes you have to know

by

I believe everyone knows what the basic purpose of a container is, right?

Yes, it is a kind of cargo transportation equipment, which is convenient for mechanical loading and unloading. However, the most common containers are generally 20 feet, 40 feet standard boxes or 40 feet heightened containers.

However, do you know what are the classifications of containers according to the purpose of use? Let's take a look at the following categories now!

1. Dry Container

Ordinary/dry cargo is mainly used to ship all kinds of groceries, suitable for goods that do not need temperature control, and is usually used to ship stationery, daily necessities, medicine, textiles, handicrafts, chemical products, Wujinjiaodian, electronic machinery, instruments and machine parts etc.

This kind of container accounts for 70-80% of the total number of containers.

In addition to frozen goods, live animals and plants, dry goods containers can be used for goods that are suitable for container transportation in terms of size and weight.

2. Refrigerated Container

There are two types of refrigerated containers: external and internal. The temperature can be adjusted between -60C~+30C.

The built-in container can start the freezer at will during transportation to keep the container at a specified temperature; while the external type must rely on special container vehicles, ships, special storage yards, and freezers equipped on the station to cool down.

This kind of box is suitable for transporting butter, chocolate, frozen fish, condensed milk, margarine and other items in summer.

3. Open Top Container

The characteristic of this kind of container is that there is no roof to facilitate the removal and loading of goods.

The top of the box has a canvas supported by a foldable top beam, a canopy made of plastic cloth or plastic-coated cloth, and a crane can be used to load and unload goods from the top of the box.

The tarpaulin covers the top, and its watertightness requirement is the same as that of the dry cargo box.

Suitable for loading glass plates, steel products, machinery and other heavy goods.

4. Flat Rack Container

The frame container has no roof and sides, which is characterized by the roof and side walls, and sometimes even the end walls are removed, leaving only the bottom plate and four corner posts.

These containers are loaded and unloaded sideways.

It is mainly used for carrying overweight goods, and it is also convenient for loading livestock, as well as bare goods such as steel that can be exempted from outer packaging.

It can also facilitate the hoisting of large, ultra-wide, and ultra-high cargo.

5. Tank Container

Tank/liquid containers are special containers manufactured for the transportation of liquid goods such as food, medicine, and chemicals.

Its structure is to fix a liquid tank in a metal frame. An international standard liquid tank is a stainless steel pressure vessel mounted within a fastened external frame.

The tank inner tank is mostly made of 316 stainless steel.

Most tanks have steam or electric heating devices, inert gas protection devices, decompression devices and other optional equipment required for fluid transportation and handling.

4 little things you can do to boost your happiness

by

It’s a question we might ask ourselves here and there when something great (or awful) happens to us.

But think about it in a general sense: When was the last time you evaluated your overall happiness and satisfaction with life?

There are so many factors to consider when answering that question that it can feel overwhelming or, even worse, become yet another stressor weighing on your happiness.

Today we’re going to focus on the four things you can do right now(ish) to improve your happiness. Because you deserve it, friends.

1. Conquer your negative thinking.

Humans have evolved to focus on the negative. If we overlearn a bad situation, we’re more inclined to avoid those situations in the future or react more quickly, writes Tara Parker-Pope in our happiness guide.

But, as we all know, that isn’t always helpful in a modern world. When something bad happens, we tend to overanalyze and have trouble getting our mind off it.

The trick to avoiding those spirals and rabbit holes of misery is to acknowledge and challenge our negative thoughts.

Rather than try to bury them, we should own those thoughts and ask ourselves a few questions, like, “What is the evidence for this thought?” or “Am I basing this on facts or on feelings?”

A little self-investigation can help us get over the thoughts that just won’t leave our heads otherwise.

2. Forgive yourself.

This one is really simple: Go easy on yourself. If you’re compassionate and supportive of other people, why shouldn’t you give yourself the same luxury?

This can be a difficult concept for those of us who tend to beat ourselves up over perceived failures, so our guide has an exercise you can use to practice.

Write yourself a letter of compassion just as you would to a neighbor or friend who had experienced a hardship. The concept is the same, only the recipient is you.

3. Money helps, but only to a point.

An often-cited study from a few years ago boldly named the amount of money at which happiness peaks: $75,000 per year.

Another recent (but less rigorous) examination put that number at $100 million. Still another study said lottery winners are no happier than the rest of us.

The truth is, we’re plagued by the constant craving for the next thing. Tara calls this the “hedonic treadmill” in the happiness guide and, essentially, we’re stuck on it.

A more helpful way to look at this idea is to find purpose and meaning at work.

Rather than focusing on work as a means to earn money, try to find genuine satisfaction and purpose in the work you do. Studies have shown this is possible in every type of job.

4. Buy more time.

If given the choice between buying material things and buying services that save you time, you might want to think about the timesavers.

In two surveys cited in our guide to happiness, researchers found that people who spent money on conveniences like ordering takeout for dinner or getting a cab were happier than those who didn’t.

So what does that mean for you? If you can afford it, buy yourself some extra time. (Yes, this is permission to order a pizza for dinner tonight.)

How to distinguish between LCL and FCL?

by

Shipping is generally divided into two types:

- Sea bulk cargo (Less Than Container Load, LCL)

- Full Container Load (FCL)

Less Than Container Load，LCL

It means that the importer's cargo quantity is not enough to fill a container, so it is collected with other importers who are destined for the same destination, and then they are assembled to fill a container and then transported. The advantage of this is that the importer does not need to pay the price of the whole container (reducing the shipping cost). Under normal circumstances, the transportation cost of bulk cargo by sea is based on the space (cubic volume) of the container used.

Full Container Load，FCL

Contrary to bulk cargo by sea, the importer alone uses one container for transportation. Generally, a 40-foot container can be filled with a volume of more than 65 cubic meters.

What are the benefits of FCL shipping? When transporting the whole container by sea, since the goods in the container are all your own, as long as you submit all the documents, you will be able to clear customs and release soon after completing the relevant procedures. As for the LCL cargo, the goods of many companies are concentrated in one container, so the documents of all companies must be submitted and completed. Sometimes other cargo owners submit the documents too slowly, which will cause their own cargo to be blocked, which wastes time and affects the release of their own cargo.

Items that you should purchase during 11.11!

by

Does not know what to buy on 11.11 every year?

Seeing that everyone is stocking up, what should you stock up on?

Come! Let me shares with you the items you should stock up on this year!

Buy Smart, Stock Smart!

1. Paper towels - why is it necessary to stock up on paper towels?

That's because most of the paper towels sold on Taobao are sold in bulk and of good quality.

If you do the math, it's definitely cheaper and more affordable than buying a lot of paper towels locally!

Most importantly, they even do very high-level packaging!

When there are guests at home, guests will never guess that a pack of tissues can be bought for only RM0.80!

The tissue paper recommended by the editor:

https://detail.tmall.com/item_o.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.13.74b1650d8hfu1Y&id=680150697548&ns=1&abbucket=1&skuId=4903225753348

This paper towel recommended by the editor is the best-selling paper towel in Taobao!

80 packs of tissues are only ¥68.90, which is about RM45!

Only RM0.56 per pack!

2. Facial towels - especially salon-grade facial towels!

If you are still wiping your face with a towel, I would like to warn you severely!

Stop using towels to wipe your face!

That is because there is human dander and sebum on the towel, and it is relatively humid, which is easy to breed bacteria, and it will increase with the use of time.

Just imagine if you wipe the bacteria on your clean face every day, will your face not have acne?

So! Try a face towel! This is definitely not a waste!

The face towel is a disposable product, so you don't have to worry about the problem of bacterial reproduction over time, and the safety is guaranteed; the material is soft and skin-friendly, and it is not easy to damage the skin!

And used face towels, you can also get to wipe the wash basin, wipe the computer or anything else you want to clean!

The face towel link recommended by the editor:

This face towel has been used by the editor since 2021. I bought it in 1688 at the beginning, and now I buy it directly from Taobao.

This face towel is very soft to the touch, and it is comfortable to use on the face.

And the removable design, one piece at a time, is easy to use!

No matter whether it is wet or dry, I use it to remove makeup every time, it is super convenient and does not hurt the skin!

3. Masks - choose a cute design that is not available locally!

We have lived in the environment of the epidemic for three years, and masks have become our daily necessities.

In addition to the same masks of various colors, there are also many masks of different designs.

Wearing masks of different colors every day can no longer satisfy us.

Of course, we need to find cute and beautiful masks!

Wearing a good-looking mask will make you feel better!

After all, masks are now one of our face values!

The mask link recommended by the editor:

If you like Crayon Shin-chan, this is the time to get it!

This is the time to stock up, sisters!

5. Rabbit Year's Red Packet - Buy it before the Chinese New Year period!

Buying ordinary red packets locally is easy!

But good-looking and unique red envelopes are hard to find!

By the way, giving unique red envelopes during the New Year will definitely be very face-saving!

The extra can be sold to friends, and you can also make a fortune, hehe!

The red packet link recommended by the editor:

https://detail.tmall.com/item_o.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.142.627a2bf31oIvqu&id=689435235883&ns=1&abbucket=1&sku_properties=122216443:67733764

Such a cute design, even girls will be happy to receive it!

Definitely worth stocking up!

Ah Kuan Red Oil Noodles is a food that even Malaysian Youtuber - MaoMaoLand loves and made a video about!

Why must big parcels be reinforced?

by

Have you ever been asked by customer service if you want to reinforce the package when shipping a large package?

What is a reinforcement package?

Reinforcing the package is adding an extra layer of protection to the package to reduce the chance of breakage when the package is transported.

Why reinforce the package?

If the package is not reinforced, it may cause the package to deform, damage, or get wet.

How can we help the package add a protective layer?

1. Add on bubble wrap.

Add bubble wrap to prevent the package from deforming in transit or damaging the contents of the package.

2. Add on wooden shelf.

Add wooden shelves to the outside of the package to keep the parcels protected during shipping.

3. Add Fragile Labels.

Add fragile labels to allow transport personnel to see, and handle them with extra care and care.

4. Add on the sack.

Adding sacks can help reduce the ingress of rain or water into the inside of the package.

6 things to pay attention to when choosing a logistics company!

by

What should you pay attention to when choosing a logistics company ?

In this era of developed transportation, various logistics companies have appeared, and competition has naturally grown.

When choosing a logistics company, you need to pay attention to:

1. Is the logistics company a legally registered company in Malaysia?

When choosing a logistics company, there will be different transportation companies in your sight, and different sellers will sell their transportation solutions to you. Even if it is cheap, you must find out whether the logistics company you choose is a legal company registered in Malaysia. Otherwise, when you use their services, you may not be able to get a solution or compensation for any problems you encounter.

2. The reputation of the logistics company.

A good logistics company will be matched with a good reputation. To attract customers, major logistics companies will launch various discounts and benefits, but comparing the timeliness and costs, the most important thing is word of mouth.

3. Areas covered by transportation.

You must also find out if the logistics company you choose covers your area. For example, if your area is East Malaysia, you must first understand whether it is covered, to avoid finding that the logistics company does not have the service of sending East Malaysia when the package arrives at the warehouse in China.

4. The transit time is not long.

In addition, in addition to knowing the price, of course, it is necessary to know whether the transportation time of the logistics company is not long. This can be answered by customer reviews of the logistics company itself. But you can also contact customer service for inquiries!

5. Can the logistics company's system track the package?

When choosing a logistics company, you should know whether the logistics company has an orthodox system to query or track packages, allowing you to check where the package is going all the time.

6. Professional customer service.

In addition, the customer service of the logistics company is also very important. No matter how cheap the price is, the lack of professionalism in customer service will also lead to mistakes in your choice of shipping channels, resulting in overpayment or greater losses.

Based on the above conditions, the editor recommends our own logistics company - VT Nation Logistics.

VT Nation has 17 years of transportation experience, whether it is a package or a whole cabinet of packages, we have it all! In addition to consignment shipping, we also provide purchasing and payment services!

The beauty expert that girls must know – Li Jiaqi

by

Who is Li Jiaqi?

Why is he the anchor that all beauty girls should know?

Many people are puzzled as, to why is Li Jiaqi so popular.

Let me introduce to you my favorite beauty artist - Li Jiaqi.

Li Jiaqi was born in Yueyang, Hunan in 1992, and has liked makeup since childhood.

After graduation, he worked as a salesperson at L'Oreal. For three years, he has been the most satisfied seller for customers.

Later, by chance, he was selected by the company to do a beauty live broadcast and embarked on the road of the live broadcast.

Then why did Li Jiaqi suddenly become popular?

Because in a certain program, Li Jiaqi made a special live broadcast of lipstick. In just 5 hours, he applied 380 lipsticks of more than ten brands to his lips, so that the live broadcast audience could see the effect.

The professionalism among them was appreciated by the live broadcast audience, and 23,000 orders were sold in this live broadcast, with a turnover of 3.53 million, and the number of fans directly increased to 300,000.

And the lipsticks he introduces or recommends will satisfy consumers because he will personally try the products and identify the truth and false before selling them in the live broadcast room.

Later, he gradually began to recommend and bring goods into the live broadcast room, introducing various beauty makeup to the live broadcast audience.

As a fan of his, every time I watch his live broadcast, in addition to expecting him to bring out high-quality products, there are also the words "all girls" and "OH MY GOD" he said.

So why are the products recommended by Li Jiaqi so loved and trusted by a large number of girls?

1. Li Jiaqi understands girls very well and has strong empathy. Among them, I believe it is because he has liked makeup since he was a child and has a certain understanding of it. After graduation, I also let him know that all girls should have lipstick in their makeup bag when I was a cabinet brother at L'Oreal.

2. He has work experience as a beauty cabinet brother, so he understand the psychology of consumers and can recommend different products according to consumers of different ages.

3. Strong speaking and expression skills during a live broadcast.

4. Be sincere. When Li Jiaqi recommends products, he will sincerely recommend his favorite products to the live girls every time.

By the way! During the 11.11 period, Li Jiaqi will start selling various products in the 11.11 promotion from October 24, 2022!

Let me quickly organize and recommend it to you!

What does the customs inspection check on the container?

by

Every time we encounter a customs inspection, it is very annoying, because it may take more time to get the goods.

Do you know what customs are checking?

In fact, in which direction do the customs generally, check?

1. Check the item name (the name of the item)

Check whether the information submitted by the transportation company is correct with the actual goods.

2. Check Specifications

Confirm that the specification (packaging method) is correct.

3. Check quantity

Check the total quantity to make sure that the shipping company has not under-reported or over-reported.

4. Check weight

Weights are more prone to error, so customs sometimes take the time to check that the weight submitted by the shipping company is correct.

5. Check the number of pieces

Sometimes customers and shipping companies will undersupply the total number of pieces of goods (including the gift items), and if the total number of pieces is not summed up, they may be fined.

5. Check marking

Some products have marks, some do not, and some marks will reflect some products or logo information. If there is, it must be reflected on the customs declaration.

6. Check for infringement

You know, knockoffs are strictly prohibited.

7. Check the place of origin (the place of origin)

8. Check the classification

Check whether the customs code (HScode) is accurate, because sometimes the shipping company may submit the wrong customs code (HScode) when submitting the customs declaration information.

9. Check new and old

Many old items cannot be exported, so customs will check to see if any old items have been shipped out.

10. Check the price

The code corresponding to each type of goods imported and exported by the customs has a price range in the customs system. There are generally two ranges: the price range of the local export port, and the price limit range nationwide, especially for imports. The price review is particularly strict when it is time to export, and it is relatively better when exported.

11. Whether to hide

Customs will check to see if some items are not produced by the factory or are underreported.

Some shipping companies can offer very cheap prices. Although they are cheap, they may use a special method to clear customs, and this method brings you the risk that the goods may be fined or confiscated.

That's why we advise customers to use the right channel for shipping and choose an experienced and legal shipping company.
