Why compression changes the shipping math
Compressed sofa shipping cost is decided long before the container is booked: how much packed volume each unit takes, how quickly it recovers, and where it sits before it sells. Vacuum compression removes 60–80% of a sofa's packed volume, so the same 40' container carries several times the units and you pay freight per set rather than per sofa. The decision to make early is packing format and carton size — flat-pack versus palletized changes how many sets fit, how the container is loaded and how much warehouse space your 3PL holds. The two articles below cover the commercial side of that decision.
