Topic: Strategy

"cost-effective" International Shipping Companies.

Posted by Blaine Wilkerson on 250 Points
Can anyone provide me with names, links, and/or resources in order to find an "affordable" International shipping company?

I am primarily interested in companies that IMPORT to the US and UK from Vietnam. The company(s) must be able to provide air and ocean freight, customs processing, and inland port delivery (we are not near the coast). They will be shipping anything from cardboard cases weighing 11-20kg, from 20' containers weighing 11 US short tons (not including the weight of the container).

Fedex, UPS, and DHL have already been researched and are NOT acceptable as they are exorbantly expensive.

I'm finding the search not only exhausting, but unfruitful as well.

Any and all input/advice would be appreciated. Notes or feedback regarding your experience with the companies you reccommend would be helpful as well.

    Hi Jett, I have worked for companies who have used these guys before, and found that they provide an excellent service:

    https://www.transways-uk.co.uk/
    https://www.simpsons-uk.com

    Whilst they predominately ship to and from the UK, they may have other partners that they can suggest to you.
