Finding an International Shipping and Warehouse Company

June 20, 2008 by admin

Searching for an international shipping and warehouse company can be tricky. Service offerings are confusing: some international shipping and warehouse companies offer cold storage, freight forwarding, pool distribution, cross docking, co-packaging and fulfillment, and the increasingly popular multi-modal transport. That all sounds great — if you know what it means. If, like me, you’re just trying to find the right company to transport, warehouse, and distribute your products overseas, it’s a maze of complicated language I don’t have time to deal with. I just want to know how to find the international shipping and warehouse company that’s right for me!

The trick to finding the right international shipping and warehouse company is to first understand what you want the company to do for you. This will vary for each individual customer: some companies will have the infrastructure in place to pick up their shipments from the warehouse, utilizing their own distribution networks. Others, like me, aren’t quite that big yet, and can really profit from using the international shipping and warehouse company’s resources.

Cold storage is a feature you may want in an international shipping and warehouse company, particularly if you’re in the food or beverage industry. Additionally, consider the security that the international shipping and warehouse company offers: you want to know your merchandise is in good hands far from home.

Consider the local knowledge your international shipping and warehouse company has. How long have they been in the destination you’re shipping to? The longer an international shipping and warehouse company has operated, the more experience they’ll have with local custom, regulation, and hiring practices. This will all impact the way your merchandise is shipped and stored. Bear in mind that many international shipping and warehouse companies function by relying on partner networks with locally-based vendors. This gives them the advantage of local knowledge and infrastructure, resulting in a cost savings.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
