How to Choose a Best Freight Shipping Company
2
Check experience
Research about the company and know their
experience in the market. Check if they have
contact with multiple carriers, which shipments
they have already completed, what kind of
conditions they have already faced. Having
experience in the market, it means that this
company can assist you when problems arise and
that they know what to do so your transportation
moves smoothly.

Check out if he is a part of global network of
agents
This is one of the main points to consider when
finding a new partner. Ensuring that he has a
well established network of global agents is
vital for the local handling of your
international shipments. Ascertain if they have
partners both in origin and destination ports and
that they can depend on a global network of
agents, companies and overseas offices.

Ensure that he offers the services you need
Always look at the services the freight forwarder
offers. He must be able to handle more than just
sea or air freight. See if he also does road
transportation, door to door shipping,
international insurance, import and export
documentation and so much more. Another point is
that if he has a tracking option this is a plus
that is taken into consideration. The more
services he provides the more options you will
have from them.
5
See the forwarders references
This is a tip that is valid for any type of
service. Check out what other partners have to
say about the freight forwarder's job, see other
clients, ask for references. That is the
excellent way to discover if this is a reliable
company or not. Also, examine if they have
credentials and certifications. This is the best
way to know if he is a good partner and if they
have the experience and expertise that you
require.
