How to find a reliable consolidation company?

 1. Relevant transport qualification and transport experience of the company

First of all, we should confirm whether it is a forwarding company or a regular business registration company.

 

Secondly, we need to know the transport experience of the company. Transportation experience needs time to precipitate, and experienced companies have strong customs clearance ability and can better solve unexpected or emergency events in transportation.

 

2. Mailable countries and regions

 It is not necessarily that the more countries and regions that can mail, is  the better. As the competition pressure of cross-border logistics increases, some forwarding companies are streamlining their mailing routes and only keeping the most advantageous channels to reduce the risk of channels.

 

 Generally speaking, most forwarding companies can only provide transfers from domestic to foreign countries, while individual companies can also provide transfers from some overseas countries to domestic. Therefore, you need to know the countries and regions you can ship to before you ship. 3.

 

 3. Shipping cost and payment method

The shipping prices of forwarding companies are similar, but the payment methods are different. Some companies may require customers to top up to bundle consumption. Try to avoid this, and choose a forwarder that can support multiple payment methods, such as at least WeChat, Alipay, PayPal, and other payment methods, and does not require a top-up.

 

4. Mailing process

 Professional forwarding companies will give customers a detailed forwarding process before mailing or will have special customer service for 1-to-1 guidance so that customers know what they will face in their packages.

 

Before posting, it is recommended to ask what services can be provided and confirm whether the services are free of charge or require additional charges.

Generally speaking, shipping companies can provide free collection, free storage (some may have a time limit), free photo taking, free parking, free weighing, and other services.

 

6. Logistics information inquiry and tracking

Try to find a consolidation company that can check parcel information by itself, such companies usually have their channels, direct flights or daily sailing, their overseas warehouses, experience in transportation, and price advantages. The forwarding company whose customer service helps to check on behalf of the company may have the situation of transferring the parcel to other agents.

 

You should look for a reliable forwarding company from many aspects, such as the company's shipping experience, countries and regions that can be mailed, shipping prices, the general mailing process, the services they can provide, and whether they can check the logistics information themselves.
