Let's put an end to this back and forth guys. The problem here is the lack of knowledge and miss use of terminology on this board.


http://www.srinternational.com/standard_containers.htm

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.
