I work in Container Shipping - Advice
Hi Guys,
Im not here to promote my company - just want to help with any advice. I work for one of the largest container shipping companies in the world. I know alot about the industry and willing to answer any questions I can for my fellow bikers!
Alot of the time, it is better to get your rates direct from the shipping line. Although some of the big boys don't arrange the customs' clearence, but you can use this to your advantage when speaking with a forwarding agent - for instance 'So and So Line can offer me x amount!' and they will tend to match it. In this current finanicial climate, rates all around the world are plummating due to the lack of import/exports.
If anyone would like some advice on costs, surcharges or anything to do with shipping, please feel free to E-mail me @ joehosier@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks Guys!
