Woody, the Mini Logo deck I bought from your shop at the weekend and promptly made myself disabled with is 8.25 and 14.375 WB so only about 3mm short of 14.5.

The number don't add up, you need to bring containers full in to make it work from a business point of view. That's why the distributions have the buying power

You can buy shared space in containers via brokers, you don't need to have a full one, only pay for the space needed for what you are actually shipping in.
