Is this common? Well, actually yes. But you have an understanding of the overall process of how it happens. Because it just doesn’t magically appear overnight and ‘poof’ there is unclaimed freight furniture sitting on the dock.
So let’s start at the beginning, the manufacturing process itself is fairly straightforward. Materials are sent to factories where they are produced. Whole sellers and retailers sell these products to the consumer, who takes them home or wherever it might end up. The break in this otherwise simple concept is the transporting of the freight from the factory to the end user.
Often the freight simple doesn’t get there. Whether it was damaged in transport, mishandled, lost, can’t locate a proper point of contact, or the freight owner went out of business. No matter the reason it was not claimed and then became ‘unclaimed freight’ or for this article unclaimed freight furniture.

Again you might be wondering, how could someone not claim it? How could they not find the owner and have them take delivery of the cargo?Well if a company goes out of business there is no one left to claim it.
