Freight forwarders and shipping companies can receive reduced or special shipping rates from airlines, ship lines, and other transportation companies. This is possible because the freight forwarders and shipping companies frequently ship in large volumes. Generally, individual shippers do not have the volume to obtain the lower rates that freight forwarders and shipping companies can offer.

Shipping rates are based on the weight and/or volume of the cargo, as well as the destination and type of service required for shipping. Occasionally airfreight is less expensive to use than to ship materials by sea, however, at other times shipping merchandise by ocean freight is cheaper. The freight rates for shipping merchandise by trucking depend upon the distance, time period, and type of truck needed for the delivery.

Shippers can contact the freight forwarders by telephone, fax, email or through the freight forwarder's website and request freight quotes.
