subject: The Complete Package - Shipping To And From China [print this page] In the current economic climate shipping to South East Asia, and indeed shipping from China needs to be cost-effective. Hiring the right shipping agent is essential in making certain your goods arrive on time and in the same condition it left in!
Whether you're starting a new business and need a shipping agent shipping from South East Asia, or you're looking to have some goods shipped to China, the shipping agent you use needs to offer the right services, the best time and a reasonable price - not forgetting the right amount of space for your items.
Price
The price of receiving goods from China via air or boat can be costly if you don't do your research. Finding a shipping agent that can supply you with special equipment such as flat racks, platforms and open top containers at a reasonable price is not very easy. If you search hard enough , however, it is possible to find a competitively priced shipping agent that has all the services and destination ports you require.
Total Package
Some of the more experienced shipping agents offer a complete door-to-door package, ensuring everything arrives on time and with minimum fuss for the clients. From your premises to the final destination, you need to know the company you're using knows exactly what it's doing.
Insurance
You wouldn't dream of sending your goods without insurance, right? Well make sure the insurance you have with the shipping agent covers exactly what you need it to.
The shipping agent you use to ship to or from China needs to be fully insured, covering freight forwarding liability insurance and carrier/bill of lading insurance. After all, handing your goods over to a company can be risky, and having that extra reassurance that your shipping agent is completely insured means you can relax in the knowledge your finances are safe whatever the outcome.
When shipping to China, and shipping from China, you need to know that you're getting the best possibly overall package for your money!
