Especially for novice cross-border e-commerce people, do you always hear about finding a freight forwarder? Why not find some international couriers?

What is the reason behind it?

Freight forwarders concentrate the cargo volume to international courier companies for shipment. If the volume is large, the price will naturally be preferential.

1. Price issue:

Foreign trade companies and factories want to ship goods abroad. If they directly use international express delivery, they can only get the official freight price announced by international express delivery, and there is no discount. Because the volume of foreign trade companies is very small for international express delivery companies. Freight forwarders usually establish long-term cooperative relationships with airlines, shipping companies, etc., so they can get more competitive discounts.

2. Freight forwarding company services:

Freight forwarding companies collect all the goods and send them to international express companies for centralized mailing. Freight forwarding companies have more flexibility and can customize the best logistics solutions for cross-border e-commerce sellers according to specific requirements. Whether it is cargo tracking, packaging, insurance or other special needs, they can better meet the personalized needs of sellers. Some freight forwarding companies can also pick up goods at your door!

3. Comprehensive solutions:

When faced with international trade regulations, customs requirements and complex regulations between different countries, they are familiar with international logistics processes and can provide more reliable and efficient services, which helps to shorten transportation time and ensure that goods arrive at the destination on time. This is crucial for cross-border e-commerce, especially in the pursuit of fast delivery and customer satisfaction.

4. Save costs:

If you ship the goods yourself, you will need to deal with a series of transportation issues, such as buying insurance, customs declaration, etc. A professional freight forwarder will help you deal with many problems you didn't expect! The freight forwarding company will handle the problems for you and provide door-to-door transportation services for foreign traders. At the same time, the freight forwarding company has a modern logistics management system, and the cargo owner can directly query the objects and logistics dynamics on the system.

Therefore, freight forwarding companies can not only save time and labor costs for foreign traders, but also reduce capital costs, so cross-border e-commerce sellers prefer to use freight forwarding for shipment.
