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.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
