International Freight Quotes – Shipper beware
Not only do many businesses commit to their freight provider via their international freight quote based on price alone, they aren’t even aware of the best shipping options and service. Once you have your cargo collected, there’s no going back !
The issues and headaches it maybe causing you currently are:
- Your Goods are never arriving on time to the customer, meaning more time and energy being spent on tracking where the cargo is and trying to give it a hurry along
- Customers moving to different provider of goods because yours take a trip around the world
- The Summer has passed and your USD20,000 boat that you are importing has arrived just in time for winter
- Hidden costs accumulating such as interest on the costs you haven’t been paid for yet slowly but surely eating into your profit
- A drop in currency while the goods sat on the water for 3 additional weeks and no-one thought to talk to you about hedging
- The Car you thought would be a great drive can’t be registered in country, you are left with a loss of money but also No Car because it cant get an import permit !
- Declining opportunities to sell into because you aren’t familiar in the destination country and have no one there to look after your interests.
