Every freight transaction involves multiple parties but the two most often confused terms are the: consignee and consignor. Whether you are a consignor or consignee, the freight shipping process and associated terminologies can be perplexing. In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, it’s important to not only understand the freight process but also the roles and responsibilities of each party.
Small businesses that compete against large supply chains usually struggle to keep up with logistics in the market today. Large businesses can use their massive resources to move goods quickly and without excessive expenses. However, when it comes to smaller companies, shipping products is far more complicated. Unless they partner with a reliable 3PL company, small businesses have to do a lot of maneuvering to avoid delayed shipments and unexpected costs.
International shipping is one of the essentials of today’s modern economy.
Unfortunately, sending cargo across borders is still a confusing and time consuming process. Regulations, fees, and procedures change all the time. Approached the wrong way, getting your product shipped internationally will only cost you more and delay your package even further.
