The Same $9000 to Italy, Different Freight Forwarder China Offer Different Solutions, with a Time Difference of Up to 20 Days

Especially for some newcomers in foreign trade, they often simply compare the prices of various freight forwarders China, saying "How much does theirs cost, and how much does yours? Why is yours so expensive?" Some customers, for example, from Shenzhen to Genoa, will stop responding after getting a quote. They don’t mention whether the price is high or low, nor which shipping company to use. This is actually very superficial and does not truly understand the industry and the essence of the services our freight forwarder China can provide.

For instance, when it comes to logistics from China to Italy, there are many sea ports in Italy, as many as 144, which really surprised me. Common ones include Naples, Genoa, Ancona, etc. There are many shipping companies to Genoa, such as MSC, CMA, Maersk, COSCO, etc. Only a freight forwarder China like us, with 26 years of experience, can know the different advantageous routes of each shipping company. The shipping time ranges from the fastest 37 days to the slowest over 60 days. Recently, due to international situations, the Suez Canal is not passable, and we have to detour around the Cape of Good Hope. Now, the freight charges range from $6000 to more than $9000, with a difference of $3000.

If you really want to compare the prices of different freight forwarders China, it is only valuable to compare the same shipping company. For example, $6000 and $9000 can differ by almost a month in time. It depends on the customer’s requirements, as different time requirements need different services.

In addition to full container transportation, we also have consolidated container transportation. With the development of the Belt and Road Initiative, railway transportation is becoming more important, from China to Central Asia, then to Germany's Duisburg, and finally to Italy by Amazon truck. In recent years, truck transportation has also been increasingly recognized. So, there are quite a few logistics methods to Italy. These different routes can only be comprehensively covered by a large-scale freight forwarder China like us.

Therefore, Sunny Worldwide Freight Forwarder China designs appropriate solutions based on customer needs. This cannot be achieved by simply comparing prices. Simply comparing prices is just the most primitive behavior in selecting a freight forwarder China. It’s about designing an overall plan based on customer needs. This is where the key point of a freight forwarder China’s years of logistics experience and resources comes into play.

Even for the same high-priced plan of $9000, different freight forwarders China will design different solutions due to differences in experience, business capabilities, and resources, resulting in varying degrees of transportation time assurance. It is common to see situations where it looks like a few hundred or even a thousand dollars are saved, but because the chosen freight forwarder China’s plan has problems, or the chosen route is not the advantageous route of the shipping company, it can cause delays. As a result, delays of 10 or even 20 days can lead to losses of tens of thousands of dollars or even incalculable losses.

For a freight forwarder China like us with more resources and experience, we will choose according to the advantageous routes of different shipping companies and may choose different starting points, from Beijing in the north to Haikou in the south. There are many solution resources, and it’s about how to match them to get the best cost performance and time efficiency.
