Freight that clears the port and makes the appointment

E-commerce freight is a compliance game wearing a trucking costume. Amazon fulfillment centers run on appointments that punish no-shows with stranded inventory. Big-box routing guides read like tax code, and every violation comes back as a chargeback deducted from your invoice. And it all runs on an import pipeline where one slow container means a stockout, a Buy Box loss, and ad spend pointed at a listing that can't sell.

AEEM runs the pipeline end to end from Los Angeles. Ocean freight from your factory, drayage off the LA and Long Beach ports with entry coordinated before arrival, warehousing for staging and distribution, and scheduled FTL and LTL into Amazon FCs, 3PLs, and retail DCs with the appointment booked before the truck rolls. Built for DTC and marketplace brands moving real container volume.

THE PLAYBOOK

Where e-commerce freight breaks, and how we run it

A Los Angeles based drayage network built for speed, compliance, and visibility, from reefer cargo to overweight loads.

The risk: a chargeback

The routing guide violation on your invoice

Big-box retailers publish routing guides with rules on carriers, labels, pallets, and windows, and every miss comes back as a deduction you find weeks later. We work the routing guide before the load moves, right carrier, right paperwork, right window, so compliance is built into the dispatch instead of disputed after the deduction.

The risk: stranded inventory

The FC appointment that didn't happen

Fulfillment centers run on appointments, and a missed one doesn't reschedule itself, it strands inventory in a trailer while your listing bleeds sales. We book the delivery appointment before dispatch, confirm it, and track the truck against it, so check-in happens on the window and inventory gets received, not parked.

The risk: peak without capacity

The Q4 truck that cost triple, if it showed

Every brand needs the same trucks in the same eight weeks, and the spot market knows it. Peak lanes get planned in advance, capacity locked before the surge, imports timed ahead of the cutoff dates, so your fourth quarter runs on a plan instead of a bidding war.

Frequently asked questions

Construction shipping, answered

Straight answers on jobsite delivery, permits, staging, and importing materials through the LA ports.

Can you deliver into Amazon fulfillment centers?

Yes. FBA inbound moves on scheduled FTL and LTL with the delivery appointment booked through the carrier appointment system before dispatch, labeling and paperwork per Amazon's requirements, and tracking against the window so the freight checks in instead of getting turned away.

Can you run the whole chain from factory to fulfillment?

Yes, that's the core service. Ocean freight from your supplier, entry coordinated before the vessel arrives, drayage off the LA and Long Beach ports, staging in coordinated warehousing, and scheduled delivery into FCs, 3PLs, or retail DCs under one coordinator with one point of contact.

How do you handle retailer routing guides?

We work the guide before the load moves. Carrier requirements, pallet and label specs, ASN and paperwork rules, and delivery windows get built into the dispatch plan, because routing-guide compliance is cheaper as a checklist than as a chargeback.

How early should I plan peak season freight?

Earlier than the surge. Import cutoffs for Q4 inventory land in late summer, and domestic capacity tightens from October on. We plan peak lanes and lock capacity in advance, so bring us the forecast when you have it, not when the market is already squeezed.

Do you work with 3PLs and prep centers?

Yes. We deliver into and ship out of 3PLs and prep partners daily, coordinating the handoff so containers, staged inventory, and outbound replenishment move on one schedule your operations team can actually see.

When should replenishment ride LTL versus full truckload?

Volume decides it. Full trailers and container transloads ride FTL, partial loads ride LTL into appointment-scheduled docks, and we quote both when a load sits near the line, so you pick on price and timing instead of guessing.
