In the face of many freight forwarding companies, how to choose a reliable and suitable freight forwarding company for foreign trade novice? Here, TJ China Freight will introduce how to choose a reliable and suitable freight forwarding company from four aspects.
- Service and price. Whether it is the first or second generation, as long as the price is within a reasonable range and the service can keep up, it can be used as an alternative. Just compare and shop around, choose a freight forwarding company with the right price, and leave some profit for the freight forwarding company, otherwise, the price will drop and the service will not be able to keep up, and the result will be unhappy cooperation between the two parties. In the international freight forwarding circle, it can be said that big or small can be small. After all, there are only a few big villages in a generation. When you ask the price of some freight forwarding companies with a list, the next generation may be the same, and the price and service you get after that are definitely not good, there is no way, who made you famous in this freight forwarding circle. So only win-win cooperation can last.
- Freight forwarding company level. Freight forwarding companies are generally divided into first-level,second-level,third-level, and fourth-level. Generally, shipping companies will mainly issue route freight rates and shipping space to first-class freight forwarding companies(non-vessel operating carriers). The company maintains a good relationship with the freight forwarding company(similar to a first-class NVOCC). After the first-level shipping company agent gets the route price,it will be distributed to some subordinate second-level freight forwarding companies in the form of small profits but quick turnover.
Therefore, sometimes when the cargo owner directly asks the shipping company to apply for the price and space, it will be much higher than the price released by some freight forwarding companies.However choosing a freight forwarding company is also prone to problems. For example, when a fourth-level freight forwarding company is found once there is a problem the efficiency of the solution will be quite slow and it is easy to complicate things. Therefore when choosing a freight forwarding company,it is best to choose credibility. Higher first-class freight forwarding company (NVOCC).
- Choose the appropriate freight forwarder according to your own volume. If there are only a few parties per ticket and the delivery time is not very fast, then a freight forwarding company that specializes in LCL will be more appropriate. If each ticket is dozens of KG, then international express will be suitable for you. Before looking for a freight forwarding company to quote, you need to organize the cargo information, so that the price quoted by the freight forwarding company is accurate. The cargo information to be prepared includes product name, quantity, gross weight, volume, delivery time and destination, etc.
- Choose the appropriate freight forwarder according to the required service. If you need a freight forwarding company to provide one-stop services such as warehousing, receiving, loading, customs declaration, inspection, shipping, etc., overseas double-clearance door-to-door service, and agency tax refund service, then a reliable and suitable freight forwarding company is able to provide personalized services Service freight forwarding company.
