How should freight forwarding quotes be compared correctly?
Freight forwarding quotes should be compared by scope of service, route, transit time, customs support, additional costs and responsibilities.
Transport quotes should not only be compared by final price, but also by scope of service, route, transit time, customs support, vehicle type, additional costs and responsibilities. The decisive factor is whether the quote reflects the actual requirements of the shipment.
In international transport, differences can lie in the details: Are waiting times regulated? Is customs coordination included? Is a direct transport or a consolidated solution offered? Are dangerous goods, temperature control or special unloading conditions considered? Without this information, a price comparison is often incomplete.
GLOBALSPED prepares quotes based on specific shipment data and takes transport type, destination region, document requirements and operational risks along the route into account.
