Choosing the right freight forwarder can be overwhelming. You thought you knew what your requirement was, until you were presented with too many choices. It’s important to understand your own business, and from there select the right partner for you. If it’s service you’re after, then you’re most likely to find one that is a small to medium sized Australian based freight forwarding company.
It’s always important to ask the following question:
“What is the problem that I am trying to solve?”
Does your business need your product(s) to arrive into Melbourne with the utmost urgency to ensure production is not halted? The opportunity cost of not having the part arrive in time is that the production line stops, and there is a loss of sales and your reputation is impacted. Therefore, Air Freight becomes an essential service into Melbourne.
Is your product arriving damaged? If you are exporting to an overseas buyer, do you have quality controls in Melbourne for whom is packing your cargo? If you are importing, do you have the quality controls overseas? The cost of repair or replacement is very high.
Do you have no visibility when your products that you order from your overseas seller will arrive into Melbourne?
Is my business focussed on price, when in fact the problem I really need to solve, if resolved by my Melbourne based freight forwarder, will save dollars in the medium and long term?
The questions are endless, and unique to your business requirements. Ultimately, it is your freight forwarders role to work with you and to solve these problems for you. There’s always a cheaper price in the market. What’s important is that your freight forwarder is providing you value, with customer excellence at the fore.
