What We Ship
Sea-express
Courier to the door via UPS / FedEx / DPD. Best for parcels, e-commerce stock, and FBA replenishment.
Sea-trucking
Truck to the door. Best for furniture, heavy goods, B2B pallets, and OOG / oversize cargo.
Sea-rail
Rail transfer plus inland truck. Cost-stable for long-haul inland destinations.
Sea-river
Inland barge plus short truck. Low-cost bulk to river-port and waterway destinations.
Lanes We Cover

- On-Time · VAN entry — vessel enters at Vancouver on a 5-cut / 2-departure weekly schedule. Door signed in 26–38 days (VAN 26–32 / Calgary 28–33 / TOR & MTR 28–38).
- On-Schedule · USA-transit — vessel enters at Long Beach (USA), customs-clears, then crosses the border by truck. 6-cut / 4-departure schedule. Door signed in 20–30 days — 6 to 18 days faster than the VAN route for the same Toronto / Calgary / Montréal destinations.

How We Work
Quote
Send us origin port, destination, commodity, ready-cargo date, and Incoterm; we reply within 24 hours with a port-by-port time and cost outline.
Booking
We lock space across 2M / THE / OA alliance vessels and BCO / NAC / FIX contracts, matched to your exact lane and timing.
Origin customs
Export filing is handled from our five sourcing ports across South and East China: Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Yiwu, Ningbo, and Shanghai.
Main-leg ocean
The vessel sails on its booked schedule, with daily tracking visibility from origin cut-off all the way through to discharge.
Destination clearance
We file destination customs, settle duties and VAT per your Incoterm, then dispatch courier or trucking straight to the door.
Signed delivery
Proof of delivery is captured on arrival, and every file is archived for your full warranty and audit windows.
Why My Ever Ocean
Three-market self-operated product matrix
USA, Canada, and UK — every lane on this page runs under our own self-operated product line, not subcontracted to a single-market agent. Across the three markets combined we handle 20,000+ containers per year.
Five origin ports + peak-season space security
Self-operated head-haul network across Shenzhen / Guangzhou (South China) and Yiwu / Ningbo / Shanghai (East China). When one port runs tight, we shift origin within 24–48 hours — see Case 2 below.
Alliance + contract depth
Space-secured contracts across 2M / THE / OA — the three major ocean alliances — combined with BCO / NAC / FIX contract types. Peak-season space priority that single-channel agents can’t match.
FAQ
How fast do you respond to a quote?
Within 24 hours, with a port-by-port time and cost outline — itemized when DDP or VAT-included is selected.
Sea-express or sea-trucking — which fits my cargo?
Pick sea-trucking for furniture, heavy goods, OOG / oversize, and B2B pallets. Pick sea-express for parcel-friendly volume and FBA replenishment. Same ocean main-leg either way.
On the UK lane, should I pick self-VAT or VAT-included?
Self-VAT if you have a GB EORI + VAT registration and want HMRC’s C79 monthly statement (needed for downstream resale audits and full input-VAT recovery). VAT-included if you’d rather we file and prepay on your behalf — faster onboarding, no HMRC paperwork on your side.
Canada: On-Time VAN vs On-Schedule USA-transit — how do I choose?
On-Time VAN if Toronto / Calgary / Montréal arrival can flex by a week or two and budget is the priority. On-Schedule USA-transit if you need 6–18 days faster delivery for replenishment or contracted retail windows.
Does your DDP service cover everything?
DDP covers ocean freight, destination clearance, duties, taxes, and last-mile delivery — but not product compliance (FDA / FCC / CPSC etc.), IOR responsibility (you remain the importer of record in most cases), and AD/CVD investigations on specific HTS codes. See the full DDP scope breakdown in our Shipping from China to USA guide.
Why is your quote sometimes higher than a “cheap” alternative?
Quote comparison is scope-first, not headline-price-first. A lower number that excludes destination DO, ISF, customs bond, AMS, or trucking surcharges isn’t actually lower — it just defers the cost to destination.
Do you offer cargo insurance?
Yes. We carry TT Club forwarder-liability coverage as standard, and we can arrange all-risk cargo insurance through our network on request — quoted alongside the freight. Claims are filed by our destination team together with the partner adjuster.
Can you ship dangerous goods or lithium batteries?
By case. We screen against UN / IMDG class and require a valid MSDS plus origin-port DG declaration. Reach out before quoting; we’ll confirm route feasibility within 24 hours.
