China Shipping Agent¶
Why you need a shipping agent like Freightsteve when shipping internationally from China¶
Freightsteve is a leading China Shipping Agent enabling you to Ship from China to any country around the world.
Most factories, manufacturers and suppliers in China take orders on an EXW basis and will require you to have a shipping agent in China before taking your order.
Using a Shipping Agent in China to consolidate purchases from multiple manufacturers, factories helps minimize your shipping costs from China because there are minimum costs per shipment and the larger the shipment, the lower the cost per kg or per CBM. Therefore it makes sense to consolidate and ship everything together as a single international shipment rather than shipping each separately.
As your Shipping Agent in China, Freightsteve also offers you free storage and warehousing. This is important because many of the factories you are buying from may not finish producing your products at the same time. Therefore you may need to have some stored at the Freightstevewarehouse until the rest of them are ready.
Unlike your manufacturers, your shipping agent specializes in shipping internationally from China and can better advice you on the best and most cost effective ways to ship from China. Your shipping agent also has access to many shipping routes that your manufacturers may not have, along with partnerships with customs brokers and delivery agents around the world that can enable your goods to be shipped to you on a door-to-door basis.
Anonymity from your suppliers: in some cases, you may be buying samples or goods from multiple suppliers and may not want them to know how many suppliers and which suppliers you are buying from - showing too many cards to your suppliers may reduce your ability to bargain prices with them in future. A shipping agent like Freightstevehelps maintain your anonymity from your suppliers as our warehouse will receive your goods from your suppliers and will not reveal any confidential details about your other purchases to them
Anonymity from your customers: in many cases, suppliers will have your goods packaged using their branding, logo, leaflets, contact details and even your receipts. This can be a business killer for you if you will be shipping to your customers since it will enable your suppliers to cut you off as the middle man. A shipping agent like Freightstevecan help you remove all branding, receipt and contact details from your suppliers. We can also repack them into different packages that do not contain any information from the suppliers.
