Looking for a good shipper shoudn't be a tasking process. Somehow in life we have all had to believe that a good service is determine by how much we pay for it. Not necessarily in my opinion. Paying a colossal amount of money to a shipping agent or company is not a guarantee that such company will deliver an excellent service. In fact some starter shipping companies actually provide a great service than some companies that have been around for years. The reason for this is not difficult to know. Number one reason is that there's level of efficiency displayed by new entrant because those companies want their own fair share in that market they're competing for.
Also there's a likelihood that the owner of such shipping company would actively involve in all aspects of the business from dealing with customers queries to have some face-to-face interaction with their customers.
Good Shipping Agent: Any good company providing a shipping services should have the trust factor. Integrity should be the foundation in which a shipping business should be formed. Large and industrial machinery, Commercial cargo, and other bulky goods weight or volumes need not be escalated by a good shipping company. Many times there are conflicts of interest between some good shipping agents and their clients. When goods shipped take longer than expected to reach the port, this could be caused by series of things ranging from severe whether or persistent tide, security issues or all sorts of things, this stuff the freight agents are not in control of , it would not even come near those excuses given by shippers when their customers goods are delayed. At the same time such occurrence could bring about a delay in getting things delivered.
Destination of Goods: The country of goods destination do matter . Every week Goods are shipped from UK to over two hundred countries. London alone has a busy seaport with vessels leaving and coming in every day. Obviously these ship carries on them cars, trucks and other cargoes going to Nigeria, Ghana, and other countries of the world. The customs in those countries operate differently from UK customs . Undue delays resulting from some unscrupulous activities by those countries customs could affect smooth clearing of goods thereby making a freight or shipping agents providing shipping services to those areas tagged as being Bad!
Bad Shipping Agent : Bad Shipping agent are everywhere around us, those who store up customers goods and never get to ship them, thereby giving excuses listed earlier above. They draw customer in with a cheap shipping offers and then when goods are already on sea, they demand more and more money from the customer. Another thing they do is to tell innocent customers to bring in their good, they never give a hint that some items are contraband in some selected countries, they only want people money, they do't care whether those goods are seize or not.
We implore anyone reading this article to do a thorough search before committing your item to a shipping agent. Find out if a particular item is a contra band before you hand it over to a shipper. Other important question to ask is the landing cost of shipping the goods. I.e , shipping plus clearing cost and other associated cost.

Door to door service and Air Freight
Buisnesses today have seen a dramatic swift in the ways things are being done when compared to the slow pace at which goods and services are delivered in the 18th century. Thanks to the idea of door to door freight service industry. Businesses can now carry out transaction wherever they are around the globe. Whether in Nigeria or United Kingdom goods can be delievered by a freight company straight to the door.
Cost of Door to Door: As with the conveniece that comes with it, any client or company who wants goods delivered straight to their dormain should be ready to bear the cost associated with it.
The freight company would then have to consider some variables that will make the process of door delivey at ease at the same time not putting the quest for profit at a bay. However, the time expectation in getting those goods deliver to customers door could be a thing of a challenge, especailly when the goods final destination is not easily accessible. Delivery process is often a difficult procedure given that customers are always in the wait. Ideally the entire process should be quick but certain hiccups do possibly occur in this areas of delivery.
Why Most Freight Companies Say No to Door-to Door Freight Delivery:
Most service request for air freight are done on airport to airport basis by freight forwaders who felt that they will deliver their customers goods in timely fashion when they offer airport to airport freight servces as suppose to offering door to door services. Simply put, an individual freight forwarding company can provide a service to anywhere in Asia, Africa, America or even in the middle East if they they don't have to deliver to door. The only drag then would be the amount of incovenience that would be associated with this level of service on the customer part and huge reduction on the company profitability.
Market Force: Any freight company providing an extra service of bringing goods straight to their customers door will flourish more, no doubt! Such company will gain more of referral sales. People want covenience plus busy and the hectic lifestyle we all run make us opt for companies with more service input. This extra service provision will obviously bring about some level of growth and sustainabilty as more and more customers with stay longer most especially with that companies who know their stuff.
Recepient Expectations: Most consignee attach huge values to goods deliver to their door. Imagine a strange knock on the door and suddenly you reach for that door and Voila then appeared a delivery company handing over a huge box of gift sent from oversea by your sibling or your son?
