Wholesale delivery for Brooklyn coffee roasters
Hudson Shipping Co is a Brooklyn cargo bike courier. We deliver wholesale beans from roasters to cafés and grocers on your roast schedule, by electric cargo bike, with live tracking on every stop.
Delivery that follows your roast
Coffee is best fresh. A roaster’s delivery day depends on when the roast is done and cooled, not on when a van is free. A recurring route lets you fix the pickup around your roast schedule and keep it the same each week.
We agree the days and windows with you, including early morning. If your schedule changes, tell us and we update the route.
What we carry
Bags and boxes of beans suit the enclosed Venture, which has a 13 ft³ box (34 × 21 × 34 in), about 15 ft³ with the optional top box, and carries up to 400 lb per trip. Standard packages stay dry in rain and snow.
For heavy sacks of green coffee or pallets arriving at your roastery, the open Flatbed has a 16 ft² deck and takes palletized and oversized freight. See the fleet page for dimensions.
A typical wholesale route
- You tell us your wholesale accounts and addresses.
- We agree pickup times that match your roast and packing schedule.
- Our routing technology orders the stops to keep them dense and close to bike lanes.
- Each customer gets their order, and you get proof of delivery for every drop.
Share the tracking link with your café accounts so they know when beans will arrive.
Schedules
Many roasters pick one or two fixed days a week. Private roaster routes can run on your own days. We are based in Gowanus and fastest across South Brooklyn, and we deliver across all of NYC.
Why not use your own van
If you already have a van, use it for longer runs and let us take dense Brooklyn drops where parking slows you down. A cargo bike stops at the door and does not circle for a space.
