1. Communication
E-commerce is a chaotic business environment, prone to last-minute
changes ranging from adjusting carton dimensions to the forecasted
velocity at which in-stock products sell.A forwarder who
communicates clearly and effectively will save businesses
money.Communication doesn’t have a tangible price tag, but it
delivers an incredible value (and peace of mind) while you focus on
growing your business.Prior to confirming an upcoming shipment, pay
attention to how your forwarder communicates with you. This will
tell you a lot about their level of customer service and might
reveal communication challenges.
2. Transparency
The first time you receive a quote from your freight forwarder can
be confusing. And this is where “transparency” becomes an
invaluable aspect of the process. To have control of your shipment,
your forwarder needs to be able to clearly explain what you’re
being charged for, and to what extent you can include or exclude
features you don’t judge necessary.Before booking your next
shipment, make sure you understand customs duties and Incoterms.
This way, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what’s included in
your shipment and how to avoid unexpected charges along the way.Ask
your forwarder how they handle pricing, billing, and shipment
tracking to be sure they’re providing the level of transparency you
need.
3. Familiarity With Your Type of Business
Online shopping is clearly the future of retail. Surprisingly, many
logistics companies haven’t embraced this change. Partnering with a
freight forwarder that is familiar with e-commerce and Amazon FBA
is essential as you aim to quickly grow your business.Let’s take
for example Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)’s strict guidelines around
deliveries and packaging. As a seller, your hands are tied
following their strict rules and regulations. Freight forwarders
who understand this side of the business will easily navigate you
through Amazon’s unique fulfillment requirements.The best piece of
advice we can give you: ask your freight forwarder how they
approach optimizing your door-to-door Amazon FBA costs opposed to
just port-to-port. Tremendous cost savings can be achieved using
the right partner for the last-mile delivery, which can’t be quoted
upfront.
4. Final Thoughts on Choosing a Freight Forwarder
Don’t just go with the cheapest option offered. With so many hidden
costs and your responsibilities as an importer, forwarders who
offer a premium service, in combination with a competitive rate,
could end up saving you hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars on
the backend.Make sure the provider you choose offers transparent
quoting, a clear and collaborative communication tool, and readily
available updates on the status of your shipment.
