Finding the right ocean freight carrier used to be a challenge for shippers. Back in the day, shippers would have to open the phone book and contact carriers individually to find the best shipping deal that fits their needs. Today, shippers have an easier way to find the right carriers.
Usually when a shipper speaks to a freight forwarder about booking their shipments, total price is certainly a major point or the most important point that the shipper cares about. While a lower shipping rate does have its business benefits, you should never have to sacrifice the quality of the service.
