How does freight forwarding work

There are many different kinds of freight forwarders out there, but in general, a freight forwarder works to save its customers time and money by handling all the logistical details of a shipment.

Imagine you are looking to ship your product to Hawaii. In order to handle all the details that a freight forwarder deals with on a regular basis, you'll need a little patience and a lot of time on your hands. First, you will need to find a company who regularly ships from China to your country,destination. Then, you will need to find a trucking company to get your freight to the shipping company's loading dock near one of the West Coast shipping ports. Finally, you will need to find someone to deliver your shipment in your country. With everything set, you find yourself constantly on the phone coordinating all the pieces of your shipment. Then there's the hassle of arranging payment of 3 or more separate invoices for each leg of your shipments journey. On top of all that, you'd also find that each of the different companies you utilize will want their payment before they hand-off your freight to the next company.
