YQN Operation Team | 2025.09.05 | info@yqn.com

At YQN Logistics, we work with clients across industries—from manufacturers and e-commerce companies to nonprofits and church organizations. Each project brings unique challenges, and our goal is always the same: provide fast, reliable, and cost-effective logistics solutions.

Recently, we assisted a U.S. church organization that needed to ship LED display panels and steel structures from China to the U.S. via air freight.

Challenges of Shipping LED Displays and Steel Structures

Transporting LED display panels and steel constructions is not as straightforward as moving general cargo:

LED displays are fragile and high-value. They require careful wooden-case packing to protect the sensitive electronics and glass surfaces from shocks and vibration during loading and flight. Even minor handling errors can lead to expensive damages.

Steel structures are heavy, irregular, and bulky. They take up large space in the aircraft hold, making load planning and cost control more complex. Securing the cargo properly is critical to prevent movement during transit.

Mixed cargo adds complexity. Combining fragile electronics with bulky steel parts in the same shipment means balancing protection, weight distribution, and customs classification.

In this case, the shipment weighed over 500 kg, and its sizable dimensions required careful handling to ensure safety while keeping costs under control.

Client’s Key Pain Points

The church organization faced several challenges. First, urgent delivery needs—most air freight forwarders offered indirect flights with multiple transshipments, causing delays. Second, budget constraints—as a nonprofit, the client required the cheapest air freight from China to USA without compromising safety. Finally, customs clearance presented potential risks due to the high value of the goods.
