What information do I need to request a freight quotation?
Share the product description, supplier pickup city, destination city or address, package count, packed dimensions, gross weight, cargo ready date and the delivery tasks you want included. Flag any figures that are still estimates.
Can I ask for a quote before the goods are packed?
Yes. Mark dimensions and weights as estimates and ask when the amount will be reconfirmed against final packed cargo.
Why do two freight quotations show different totals?
Compare cargo inputs, transport mode, charging unit, delivery boundary, assumptions, validity and exclusions.
Does a door-to-door price include every charge?
Only the items explicitly included in the written quotation. Confirm duties, taxes, inspections, storage and special handling separately.
Which is more suitable for my shipment: air or ocean freight?
Consider cargo size, urgency, route, acceptance requirements and the complete collection-to-delivery cost and timeline.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL uses a container for one shipper’s cargo; LCL combines compatible shipments. Compare packed volume, handling and the full service scope.
How long will my shipment take?
A practical timeline includes cargo readiness, collection, origin handling, main transport, destination processes and final handover.
Can cargo from several suppliers be combined?
Often, subject to cargo compatibility, ready dates, receiving arrangements and the agreed release rule.
Which shipping documents should I prepare?
The documents depend on product, route and service scope. Start with the commercial invoice, packing list and product details, then confirm destination-specific requirements.
Who is responsible for customs clearance and import charges?
Responsibility depends on the agreed Incoterm, destination law and written service scope. Confirm the importer of record and what the quotation includes.
