When a factory “handles shipping,” it usually marks up the freight 20\u201340%. An independent China freight forwarder quotes the real carrier rate and shows you the line items. The win isn’t just price \u2014 it’s control over the China domestic leg and customs.<\/p>\n\n\n

Vetting checklist (do all five before you pay)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. License & network.<\/b> Ask for the forwarding license and which carriers\/agents they hold contracts with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Quote transparency.<\/b> A real quote lists freight, fuel %, handling, and what’s NOT included. “All-in” must define “all.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Communication.<\/b> Can they answer a customs question in plain English, or only “don’t worry”?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Claims process.<\/b> What’s the procedure and timeline if cargo is lost or damaged? Get it in writing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. References.<\/b> A forwarder doing real volume will have repeat clients you can sanity-check.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
