1. Shipping process from China to CanadaWhat is it like-from the customer's point of view

Here, I will look at the transportation process from the perspective of Shipper and consignee.I will describe the whole process in another article.

1. Search for carrier:

Different from domestic express delivery, international freight transportation has many restrictions on cargo transportation, and the process of directly placing orders and delivering goods basically cannot meet the actual needs.Therefore, it is generally necessary to find a freight forwarding company (carrier) to contact its salesman for confirmation.For carriers, we need to examine the following points:

A.No matter whether there is a company name or not, some freight forwarders have no company at all, so they pick up the goods directly in their own name and run when something goes wrong.

b.Check when the company was established and whether there is any bad record.Nowadays, many platforms can conveniently query enterprise information, such as industrial and commercial network, Tianyancha, enterprise search and other tripartite platforms.

2. Comparison:

After completing the first step, find a regular freight forwarding company.Next is the comparison, because there are many freight forwarding companies that do not violate regulations, but there are not many powerful companies.Mainly check several aspects:

A.Whether there is a formal physical warehouse and whether the management is qualified, because the warehouse is an important part of goods safety.If conditions permit, it is best to go to the freight forwarding company for on-the-spot investigation.

b.No matter whether it is a first-hand dealer, only a first-hand dealer can directly solve the problem of shipment.

C.Salesman's quality is good, such as whether enthusiasm and patience, whether professional, whether to find a way to solve the problem.Because different from domestic logistics, freight forwarders are the direct handlers of international freight, it is very troublesome to encounter unqualified freight forwarders.

d.Price, whether the price is reasonable or not, does not mean cheap, but it must be within a reasonable range.

3. Delivery: Delivery to the freight forwarder warehouse according to the receiving address and warehousing number given by the freight forwarder customer service.* * The best freight forwarding company, warehouse guarantee into the warehouse fee, can provide up to 30 ~ 60 days of * storage.
