Freight Forwarding & Why You Might Need It

International shipping is often a sizable chunk of a business’ revenue and it poses a number of great opportunities for companies looking to expand their client and consumer reach. However, the idea of importing and exporting internationally can be quite intimidating; there is a lot more paperwork, processing, and logistics involved when it comes to moving items and products across boarders and bodies of water. Luckily, there are freight forwarders to help you navigate through the international shipping process.

What is a Freight Forwarding Company?

A freight forwarder such as Extreme Packing Solutions, Inc. specializes in scheduling storage space, product packaging and shipping services. Freight forwarding companies provide these services for a variety of different industries from industrial to retail so that products arrive on time and on budget. EXPS, Inc is a Boston area freight forwarding company that also provides shipping and export document preparation, short or long-term warehousing, custom wood crating, and last mile delivery services.

Freight forwarding companies will also negotiate freight charges, help determine the best cargo insurance plan and will work with their clients to file any insurance claims. The most important thing to note is that freight forwarding companies do not actually move the freight — we instead act as a professional liaison between your company and your chosen international shipping company. Whether you choose a seafaring cargo ship, a freight train, an 18-wheeled truck or a cargo plane, EXPS Inc will work out all the storage, packing, shipping and delivery logistics
