Best Way to get my Product(1 Pallet Only. Dim. 5 x 5 x 5′) into USA to load in my car and Carry Away to My Own Place?

Goal is to sell this ~$15 item or so on Amazon…..

I’m basically intending to make an Alibaba order and want to receive this order myself and put it into my car here in the USA. I have no warehouse operation and do not want to simply send this straight to a fulfillment center. I want to pick it up somewhere along the Southeast Coast of the USA most likely or have it go to the Atlanta, GA area and then I want to load it up in a full size Car/Wagon and take it to storage myself.

I have the understanding I would likely be finding a freight forwarder to assist with this but past that I have no idea where I can have this delivered so I can pick it up and load it in the back of my car by pc. box and drive away with it. I am unsure why information like this seems to be lacking. It seems freight forwarders or shippers are in a rush to take your order and then leave you hanging dry when things go haywire.

Any thoughts are appreciated. I am very close to targeting a supplier in China that I have already honed in on specifically while weeding out weak hands. They will want to know where it’s going though I assume at this point I’m doing an EXW order and going to have a freight forwarder get it somewhere in the USA where I can pick it up myself. It’s a little weird how this doesn’t seem to have an easy way of doing this. I cannot have it delivered to my apt.(unless you have an EXTREMELY creative way for me to pull that off with a pallet)
