Q4 2026 ยท Shower doors
Shower doors: tempered glass does not dent. It breaks.
One broken panel holds up a bathroom, a unit and a certificate of occupancy. From Asia, a door spends five to seven weeks at sea and passes through several transfers before it reaches a US warehouse. From Monterrey, it is loaded once at the factory, crosses at Laredo about 230 kilometres away, and is unloaded once at the site, in about a month from order.
Handling, by route

What to ask any supplier
How doors are racked for transport, whether every panel carries a permanent temper mark, whether doors arrive labelled by building, floor and unit, and how a broken panel is replaced and how fast.
Lead times and truck days are Cabo Group planning figures, to be replaced with dated shipment records from next quarter.
