Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries about our logistics services
What factors determine which shipping method is best for my goods?
The optimal shipping method depends on several factors including urgency, budget, shipment size, and the nature of your goods. Air freight is ideal for time-sensitive or high-value items, while sea freight is more cost-effective for larger shipments with flexible timelines. Our logistics experts can help you evaluate these factors and recommend the most suitable option for your specific requirements.
How do you handle customs clearance for international shipments?
Our customs clearance services include preparation and submission of all required documentation, classification of goods, calculation of duties and taxes, coordination with customs authorities, and management of inspections or queries. We stay updated on changing regulations and requirements to ensure compliance and minimise delays. Our team can also advise on trade agreements and preferential duty programs that may benefit your business.
What tracking capabilities do you offer for shipments?
We provide comprehensive tracking capabilities through our online portal, allowing you to monitor your shipments in real-time. You can access information on current location, estimated arrival times, and milestone updates throughout the journey. Our customer service team is available to provide detailed updates and address any concerns regarding your shipments.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL sea freight?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you exclusively use an entire shipping container for your goods, providing greater security and potentially faster transit times. LCL (Less than Container Load) involves sharing container space with other shippers, making it more economical for smaller shipments. FCL is typically recommended for shipments occupying more than half a container, while LCL is ideal for smaller volumes where the cost of a full container would be prohibitive.
How can your 3PL services benefit my business?
Our 3PL services can benefit your business in multiple ways: reducing capital investment in warehousing and transportation assets, providing access to advanced logistics technology without significant upfront costs, offering scalability to accommodate business fluctuations, improving efficiency through specialised expertise, and allowing you to focus on your core business activities while we manage the logistics operations.
