Whether you’re shipping goods across the U.S.-Canada border or around the world, require warehousing, consolidation, deconsolidation or distribution services, you need a partner who can deliver speed, flexibility, savings, simplicity and transparency.
Since there’s often little time to act and a lot at stake in purchasing freight forwarding services, you need to consider a partner who can help you secure the services you need, quickly and with confidence.
Considerations for choosing a freight-forwarding provider:
- Will they provide one single point of contact regardless of the complexity or scope of the services you need?
- How extensive is their network of partners and agents around the world (especially where you need them most)?
- How will they secure the most flexible and timely access to space with a carrier?
- Do they provide centralized entry processing, partner EDI protocol and customer service so you always know the status of your shipments or inventory?
- Do they pre-approve their vendors (will they work for you vs. the carrier)?
- Will they walk you through everything that needs to be done to meet your needs?
- How can they minimize the movement of your freight through hubs for better pricing, faster delivery times and minimal potential damage?
- Do they meet CIFFA (Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association) guidelines and standards for excellence?
