What is the difference between a shared shipment and a custom shipment?

Shared shipments are containers shipped with orders from multiple roasters and from one or more producers.

The shipments are organised by Algrano's team in partnership with a local exporter and take place during the period indicated on the platform. This facilitates orders that can't be shipped alone in the container because of volume.

If you want to order a custom shipment for larger quantities (from a half-full container onwards), you can choose the shipment period (within the harvest and sales season) and warehouse. This makes it easier for you to get your hands on the coffee faster.

If you'd like to organise a custom shipment for a coffee on the marketplace, you can select "Custom Shipment" on the check-out cart (see below).
