so, under the standard shipping guidelines, here is the logical scenario.
1-They sent to China 1 bottle or 1 case or 1 pallet or some pallets in a consolidated container. 2-They sent to China a 20' Container with 1 bottle or 1 case or 1 pallet or some pallets 3-They sent to China a 40' Container with 1 bottle or 1 case or 1 pallet or some pallets
Logic dictates that they will not spend $$$ on shipping a container, using a shipping company for 1 bottle of wine, unless its all a SCAM.
Under my investigation going to COSCO this Sunday, I ask the clerk how much can a pallet carry. A pallet can carry around 75-100 cases, each case has 12 bottles. in a 20' container they should be able to get 8 to 10 pallets, so on a 20' container the a avg. amount of bottle are 9,000 to 12,000 bottles. Using logic again a 40' we multiply it times 2.
Money wise is can be anywhere from $1 to $500,000 depending on the amount shipped.
