What to Look for in a Freight Forwarding Company

When it comes to freight forwarding, choosing the right freight forwarding Company is similar to picking the right supplier or vendor. You are going to choose a partner that will help your business become a success.

 

There are several factors that you need to consider when picking the right freight forwarder to handle your domestic and international logistic needs. The choice will spell the difference between satisfied clients and unhappy ones. Below are some tips on how to find the right freight forwarding Company.

Know Your Options for Freight Forwarders

There are three options to consider when choosing freight forwarding companies.

 

One of the options is the integrated carrier, which is a freight forwarder that is ideal for small export companies looking to send a couple of boxes when sending packages overseas. Exporters that send larger shipments that can fill a 20-foot, or 40-foot shipping container can choose from one of the big international freight forwarding companies. The third option is to choose smaller overseas freight forwarders that also provide warehousing and other services.

Freight Forwarder Must Have Experience

Experience is the most important factors when considering freight forwarders.

 

When looking for freight forwarders, you should go for the one with years of experience. They will help you avoid warehousing, routing, and customs problems. Through experience, the company also gains business relations across the globe that you can benefit from.

Understand Your Requirements

It is important to know what you need before you start looking for a freight forwarding company. You should know what type of transport and other specific services you need, such as tracking inland transportation and cargo insurance. You should also know the volume you are planning to ship before contacting the forwarder.
