Why shippers switch

Freight shouldn't be a black box.

Surprise surcharges

Cheap quotes that balloon once origin, destination and handling fees appear.

Cargo stuck at origin

Missing export documents or poor supplier coordination delay sailing dates.

Unresolved customs holds

Cargo held at customs and no one explains what's missing or what happens next.

Split communication

Supplier, forwarder, broker, warehouse and courier all give contradicting updates.
