How to choose the right freight forwarders?

Trust is key!

When placing your items into the hands of a third party, you’ll want to be sure they will not only get to their final destination but that they’ll do so in a safe and timely manner. That’s why picking a freight forwarding partner with a trusted reputation and reliable track record is an absolute must.

Tailor-made solutions

Depending on the nature of your shipment and the specific requirements of the delivery, there is no cookie-cutter solution for freight forwarding. Therefore, it’s important that you look for a provider willing to dedicate time to fully understanding your needs and developing a solution to match. The more information you can provide to your chosen partner, the better! To best support them, let them know about key timeframes and deadlines. Outline what they will be required to transport, any preferences you may have regarding the mode of transportation used, and, of course, your budget.

A commitment to flexibility and problem solving

The process of transporting goods across borders is fraught with complexities, and with so many variables and moving parts, issues can arise outside the freight forwarder’s control. For this reason, agility is essential! Make sure you choose a provider willing to embrace challenges with a flexible nature and a knack for troubleshooting. Where problems eventuate, you’ll want to be confident your transportation partner can swiftly move to a ‘Plan B’ that will still provide the desired results.

It’s all about effective communication

High on the list of attributes to look for in a freight forwarding partner should be a commitment to honesty and transparency around things like processes and pricing, as well as providing regular updates on progress and any changes to the planned approach.

What does our freight forwarding process look like?

While the process involved with forwarding your goods will vary depending on your specific requirements, it can generally be broken down into five different stages:

Handover of goods

Using our haulage service, we’ll transport your goods from their location of origin to our secure warehouse. There, we will check to ensure everything is present and in an appropriate condition before loading the goods into appropriately sized shipping containers.

Customs clearance on leaving the country

The customs process can be a complicated one. Our in-house team of expert customs brokers will work to ensure compliance with all regulations necessary for your goods to be allowed into or out of the country.

Transporting your items between destinations

We’ll consult with you as we identify the most suitable method of moving your goods based on your distinct requirements. Once everything has been agreed to and booked, we’ll oversee the physical transportation of your goods to their destination.

Customs clearance on arrival

At this stage, our trusted customs brokers in Brisbane come back into play. They’ll make sure all steps have been taken to allow legal shipment of your goods into the country of destination.

Freight Forwarding from Brisbane Airport

Brisbane Airport is the third busiest airport in Australia. By opening a second runway in 2020, it doubled its capability and productivity and boosted its reputation as a leading cargo hub. Operating 24/7, 365 days per year, Brisbane Airport provides a reliable and accessible gateway for the import and export needs of any business in northern Australia. WWCF works closely with officials at Brisbane Airport in offering leading international air freight services designed to handle every aspect of the transportation, import, export, haulage, and delivery of goods, both into and out of Brisbane Airport.

Freight Forwarding from Brisbane Port

Brisbane Port is a major multi-cargo port. Established in 1969 it has built a reputation across Australia and beyond for supporting the movement of goods, both into and out of Australia. Its location is within easy reach of Brisbane Airport, enabling hassle-free transitions from the port to the air, and via Australia’s major roads and railway lines. If you’re importing or exporting your goods to or from Australia by sea, WWCF agents are on-hand to manage everything required to ensure all shipments arrive with recipients in a safe and timely manner.

The costs associated with forwarding freight vary depending on the size, weight, quantity, and nature of the goods you’re looking to transport. The price will also be impacted by timeframes and deadlines, the chosen transportation methods, and any other associated services.

Yes! While logistics and freight forwarding do involve similar operations, they are actually two distinct services.

When we talk about freight forwarding, we’re referring to the management and coordination of the actual transport and delivery processes involved with moving goods between locations.

Meanwhile, logistics refers more broadly to a range of different services, of which freight forwarding is one. Other services associated with logistics include fleet, warehousing, and inventory.

When it comes to freight forwarding, we expertly manage every aspect of the process, meaning you won’t have to worry about anything from initial pick up to final delivery. We have a worldwide network of trusted partners who will ensure all relevant paperwork, customs requirements, duties, transport, and timelines are taken care of.

No. Rather than having contracts with specific providers, we prefer to tap into our network of trusted global and local service providers. These contacts and our up-to-the-minute knowledge mean we can provide our customers with the most effective and affordable solutions.

We’ll work with you to identify the most appropriately sized shipping container for your transportation requirements. While the most common sizes tend to be our 20- and 40-foot containers, we are more than happy to look at larger or smaller options, should you require them.
