Can shippers directly book shipping with shipping companies in the vast world of international trade and logistics transportation?
The answer is affirmative. If you have a large quantity of goods that need to be transported by sea for import and export, and there are fixed goods that need to be transported for import and export every month, you can directly communicate with the shipping company to negotiate prices. However, in actual operation, it will be found that the shipping company only arranges the cabin space, and they are not clear about other operations.
This is precisely why finding a freight forwarder for sea freight booking has many irreplaceable advantages, while directly booking with a shipping company carries many risks and challenges.
From a professional perspective, freight forwarders demonstrate their professional abilities in sea freight booking, proficient in complex route planning, port selection, and vessel scheduling. Based on the characteristics and destination of the goods, flexibly adjust strategies, accurately match customer needs, and provide personalized and optimal transportation solutions.
For example, for special goods such as dangerous goods and refrigerated goods, freight forwarders can accurately select shipping routes to ensure safety. At the same time, freight forwarders are proficient in customs, regulations, and insurance, providing comprehensive advice on risk avoidance. Directly contacting the shipping company makes it difficult for customers to make a decision due to a lack of expertise. Shipping company services are often limited to operations, lacking personalization and scope, making it difficult to meet complex needs.
From the perspective of risk control, freight forwarders provide stronger risk control measures to cope with sudden sea freight events such as weather, congestion, and malfunctions. In case of congestion, transfer to another port and adjust the schedule, and purchase insurance to compensate for losses. Although shipping companies respond, they prioritize operations over customer needs, and often lack insurance, so customers bear the risks themselves.
From the perspective of cost control, freight forwarders compete for discounts through long-term cooperation and integrate logistics to reduce costs. Directly find a shipping company with a fixed price and coordinate with multiple suppliers to increase consumption.
In terms of qualifications, freight forwarders have complete qualifications and smooth customs clearance; It is difficult for customers to handle on their own and the risk is high.
Finally, from the perspective of service quality, freight forwarding services are attentive and fully tracked; The shipping company is heavy in scale, and the experience for small and medium-sized customers is poor.
From this, it can be seen that in the matter of sea freight booking, the advantages of freight forwarders are already very obvious. Freight forwarders can provide professional planning, effective risk control, negotiate favorable prices, and provide attentive services for shippers, greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of sea transportation. We hope that shippers can find reliable freight forwarders to provide a solid guarantee for their sea freight journey.
