What are the differences between a ship company and a freight forwarder?
A. Modern transportation process usually involves various types of carriers and warehousing. A ship company provides universal services based on fixed logistics. Alternatively, a freight forwarder offers flexible and individually customized operations for consignees. Should any damage or incident occur in transit, a forwarder can also deliver more satisfying assistances. When it comes to shipping cost, since a freight forwarder passes lower rate from carriers to its customers, there is not too much of a difference between shipping rates of a freight forwarder and a ship company.
