Shipping & Services
Q: How do I decide between air freight and ocean freight?
A: The choice depends on your budget, timeline, and the nature of your goods. Air freight is faster but more expensive, ideal for urgent, high-value, or perishable items. Ocean freight is more cost-effective for large, heavy, or non-urgent shipments. Our logistics experts can help you determine the best option for your needs.
Q: What is the difference between a freight forwarder and a carrier?
A: A carrier (like an airline or shipping line) physically moves the goods. A freight forwarder (like us) acts as your expert intermediary. We arrange the entire shipping process: we book space with carriers, handle documentation, manage customs clearance, and coordinate transportation from origin to destination, often securing better rates and smoother service than you could on your own.
Q: Can you handle customs clearance?
A: Absolutely. Our licensed customs brokerage team specializes in navigating the complex rules and regulations of international trade to ensure your shipments clear customs smoothly and without delay.
Q: What does “Full Container Load (FCL)” and “Less than Container Load (LCL)” mean?
A: FCL means you pay for the exclusive use of an entire container. LCL means your goods share a container with other shippers’ goods, and you only pay for the volume you use. LCL is a cost-effective solution for smaller shipments.
Tracking & Support
Q: How can I track my shipment?
A: You can track your shipment 24/7 using the tracking tool on our website. Just enter your unique Air Waybill (AWB) or Bill of Lading (BOL) number. For detailed updates, your dedicated account manager is always available to assist you.
Q: Who should I contact if I have a problem with my shipment?
A: Each client is assigned a dedicated account manager who is your single point of contact. You will receive their direct phone number and email. For urgent operational issues outside business hours, please get to us through our contact us page thank you!
Rates & Payments
Q: What is included in your shipping quote?
A: Our quotes are designed to be transparent and include all major anticipated charges: origin and destination handling, freight charges, fuel surcharges, and customs clearance fees (if requested). We will always clearly communicate any potential accessorial fees (like storage or special handling) beforehand.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We offer flexible payment terms for our business clients, including credit card, wire transfer, and approved credit accounts for eligible customers.
Q: Why am I being charged demurrage and detention fees?
A: These fees are applied by carriers and terminals, not by us. Demurrage is a charge for a container sitting too long at a port/terminal. Detention is a charge for holding the carrier’s container for too long outside the terminal. We work proactively to minimize these risks through careful planning and timely notifications.
