Choosing The Right USA Freight Forwarding Company

By Jerry Phillips


If you are new into the importing or exporting business it is important for one to know the best companies to deal with if you want your products to be in safe hands. Choosing the right USA freight forwarding company is a tough decision and one needs to research thoroughly to make sure you make the right decision. Be equipped with basic information to know the right people to work with.

Unlike what most people think it is not an easy job. It is a stressful and challenging career which means that some companies you find online try to find the easy way out. It depends on the cargo you are transporting and how fast you want it to reach to you. One needs to work with a company that constantly updates you on the status of your cargo.

Different people have different expectations therefore do not just expect too much when you are not sure if a company can fulfill. Being in the business does not make them the best therefore do more research to make sure they are the best. They should already be well-established to make sure they are allowed to work globally with different companies.

Not all companies deal with every type of cargo therefore ask what they deal with before making a commitment. They should also be connected and working closely with a few global agents so that they get every update of your items. That ensures that you get your product in a timely manner without delays and if there are delays they ought to tell you in advance.

When dealing with companies make sure they are financially strong so that they are in a position to pay for all the charges that are required. Be sure to check their financial strength before committing to work with them. Since you only pay a down payment before goods have been delivered make sure that they will not make your goods get stuck in the port.

Communication is important since you need to be updated on the status of your cargo. You will be in a position to tell if they are effective communicators or not depending on how long they keep you waiting on the line and how they answer your questions. They should be in a position to receive phone calls even when things do not go as per expectations.

They should be in a position to give you references of the recent customers they have dealt with before. Ask for references and contact those clients to hear what they have to say about these companies. They should be in a position to give you satisfactory answers if they loved the services they were offered or not.

Check their history if they have any debt issues that they have not honored and what claims are other customers making. Keep off from a company that has issues with the law in the past as they could mess you up. Look for a dealer who is considerate of the needs of a customer and their goal should be to give their customers the best service.
