Points to Consider When Choosing a Supplier Practiced by Logistics Professionals: Overseas Arrangements
Communication with overseas parties involves time differences, so the speed of response from forwarding agents is crucial!
For spot shipments, we request a local forwarder, but for regular cargo that involves various overseas locations, we need to prioritize requesting a forwarder that can handle all regions. Additionally, it is very important that responses via phone and email are prompt. Especially in the case of overseas shipments, due to time differences, there may be situations where only a few exchanges can occur during Japanese working hours, so caution is necessary. Furthermore, when requesting quotes, if the cost is low but the response is poor, we will opt for a slightly more expensive service provider with good response capabilities. 【Criteria we consider when making requests】 ■ Whether they can handle the region ■ Whether the transportation schedule, frequency, and duration are acceptable ■ Whether they are a flexible provider with quick responses ■ Whether they have support for variable costs ■ Whether they utilize multiple companies and shipping lines *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
