How to Fish out Legitimate Freight Forwarders from Scammers In China

Understanding the Function of Freight Forwarders

Freight forwarders are middlemen who assist people and businesses with the import and export of cargo to various places. They manage jobs including billing, inventory management in the warehouse, customs clearance, and finding shipping carriers. Businesses may find freight forwarders to be an invaluable resources since they can manage the logistics of shipment, saving time and effort. However, it is crucial to be mindful of dishonest enterprises that could attempt to con businesses through a variety of techniques.

The Dangers of Scammy Freight Forwarders

When engaging with freight forwarders, firms need to be cautious of a variety of scams. The "bill of loading held to ransom" is one such fraud in which a freight forwarder advertises a cheap rate for transportation but then refuses to release the cargo until an additional payment for loading is made. This can be prevented by requesting crucial paperwork from the freight forwarder, such as receipts. Attempts by the freight forwarder to steal the goods being shipped constitute another risk. Documents like receipts and a bill of loading should be gathered to guard against this. Additionally, scammers may gain access to a freight forwarder's account and ask for money to be transferred to another bank account. Businesses should confirm bank account information with the freight forwarder to prevent falling for this fraud. Another problem to watch out for is a lack of transparency since freight forwarders might not reveal all fees and charges, resulting in unforeseen costs once the shipment has arrived at its destination.

How to Guard Yourself Against Scams

Businesses can take a number of precautions to safeguard themselves against freight forwarder scams. One of the most crucial things is to become familiar with the shipping procedure and to talk openly with your freight forwarder. This involves being aware of the various trade conditions and charges that can be associated with your cargo. You can choose a reliable business by researching several freight forwarders and contrasting their offerings and costs. Additionally, it's crucial to gather crucial papers like invoices and bills of lading so that you have confirmation of your shipments in case of theft or ransom.

Red Flags to Be Aware Of

There are a number of red flags indicating a freight forwarder might be dishonest. One cautionary sign is if the business won't give references or documentation of their work. Concern should also be expressed if the business is secretive about its fees or requests payment via a secure means like a wire transfer. Trust your gut and avoid businesses that look too good to be true or that push you to decide right away.

Tips for Choosing a Freight Forwarder

A reliable and professional organization should be chosen when choosing a freight forwarder. Here are some ideas to think about:

Find a company that has a history of success and is well-established in the industry.

Verify the business's insurance and license status.

To learn more about the company's dependability and level of customer service, ask for references and get in touch with them.

To be sure you are getting the greatest value for your money, compare the costs and services of several freight forwarders.

Examine the company's mode of transportation to see if it meets your requirements. For instance, if you are exporting perishable items, you might choose to deal with an air freight provider.

Choosing an Honest Freight Forwarder

Use a shipping directory like Resave Maritime Directory, which only includes companies that are authorized and reputable in the sector, as one choice for locating a reliable freight forwarder. To locate a freight forwarder who is honest and competent, you may also conduct research on them and compare them to one another. Before starting a commercial partnership, it's crucial to enquire about the company's references and check out its credentials.

Working with a Reputable Freight Forwarder Has Many Advantages

Numerous advantages can be gained for your company by selecting a trustworthy freight forwarder. Several benefits are as follows:

Punctuality and dependability: A trustworthy freight forwarder will make sure that your shipments arrive on schedule and in good shape. By doing this, you can keep your client relationships strong and prevent delays in your supply chain.

Cost-effectiveness: An established freight forwarder may assist you in locating the most affordable transportation choices, saving you money and boosting your profitability.

Expertise and knowledge: A knowledgeable freight forwarder can offer insightful advice on the optimal routes, types of transportation, and other logistics issues because they have a thorough understanding of the shipping sector.

No-hassle shipping: By outsourcing the shipping logistics to a freight forwarder, you may free up time and money to concentrate on other elements of your business.

Making Sure Shipping Services Are Secure and Safe

Businesses may find freight forwarders to be a useful resource for streamlining shipping procedures and lowering expenses. However, it's critical to be aware of the dangers posed by shady businesses and to take precautions to safeguard your interests. You may make sure that your shipping services are safe and secure by becoming familiar with the shipping procedure, studying a number of freight forwarders, and checking a company's qualifications. Your company can gain a lot from working with a good freight forwarder, including dependability, efficiency, and knowledge.

4ggravate are ready for Halloween!

I'm not posting a lot lately, that because I'm packing the shop orders! I'm also moving out, preparing the next cons and the haikavember (yeah the nights are short 😂)

Here are some infos regarding the shop orders btw!

First, I packed about 66% of the orders last week, and I'm planning to start the shippings next week. So you should receive a track number very soon!

Secondly, the manufacturer for the standees is late, and by a lot. I placed the order for the standees in August, and they only shipped them last Friday.

Lastly, I'm used to Ulule/Kickstarter campaigns, so I usually wait to have received all the goodies to start the packages. But for the shop I'll do differently from now!

Also, I'm all alone to pack all the orders, so I hope you'll understand!

Thanks a lot for your patience ❤

(This snippet popped into my head and I wanted to share it with someone. Its not really a prompt so much as it’s a scene that can be connected to various dcxdp prompts I guess)

Oracle is going to destroy someone. Or something. She not quite sure which one yet.

She’s been tasked to hack into the Fentonworks systems due to the concerning amount of weapons manufactured and shipped out, and the biased papers written by them for an entire species that said weapons were built to deal with.

She’s been at this for hours because their systems make no sense. The way they’re set up shouldn’t be working at all. Nevermind as well as they are to keep her out.

Hours she’s been working at this mess of coding and firewalls only to discover the password to access the info needed for their investigation is fucking HAM.

Danny: Oh. I was expecting it to be Fudge. All caps.

Anywho, yeah I can see that happening. I can see an entire sting operation happening actually. Imagine they have to send someone in to get close to Jazz or Danny. Jazz basically has no socal life cause she "has to focus on her studies" so she's out

Depending on Dannys age they'll either send in Tim who will be very affective in getting info and might be double adopted by the end of this or Damian who will cause so much confusion and upset especially if the bats suspect the Fentons of abusing thier kids.

Damian: *noticing signs* Are you being mistreated at home

Danny: *noticing those same signs* Are you?!

Meanwhile Barbara is losing her mind trying to figure out to figure out the thought process behind the tech. Were these people stupid or geniuses? The world may never know

[ Clover Plush Update & FAQ! ]

(i had an in between update on twitter but here's the most recent one!)

[Final sample reveal] The revisions are finally done and the plush is being shipped to me! Here's a picture from the manufacturer but once it gets here I'll take more pictures to show you guys >:)))

[Fixed preorder open date] The preorders will be open on 12 October 2024 7PM PST!

[Updated plush price] Previously I said it'd be $25 for the base plush and $40 for the one + the alternate outfit, but unfortunately due to some logistical fees I might have to bump it up a little bit (won't be beyond an additional $5 hopefully), hope you can understand! TT🙏

I'll announce the final plush price sometime after this weekend alongside photos of the plush once I receive the sample!

Plush FAQ! (Also! I posted some merch previews on my twitter so if you'd like to have a view on that there, feel free to check it out!) “What payment options are available?” Paypal mainly, but debit & credit options are also available! For debit / credit options you'll have to use the paypal guest checkout method which I'll put here below! (You don't need a paypal account for this btw :)))

“How long will the preorder period last?” 12th October until 16th November! But please do read the additional info below!

Bear in mind the main target for sales is 75 plushies (so it can fulfill the MOQ while also breaking even). If it doesn't reach 75 sales within the preorder period, I'll still order 100 plushies and whatever is remaining I'll sell after the preorders are over. If sales are below 50 plushies I'll unfortunately have to refund everyone since it'll be too little to make any bulk orders TT🙏🙏

“Will there be plushies for sale after the preorder period?” Highly depending on how many sales we get! If we get over 100, I may order some extra to have for sale after, but once it runs out they're pretty much gone for good though :’DD

“When will the plushies ship?” After preorders close, there will be a production phase (roughly 25-35 business days) and after that they will be shipped to me and I will send out the orders to everyone. They will hopefully ship by early January (or February latest)

“Will my merch orders and plushies ship separately?” Your merch orders and plushies will all ship together!

if he's your friend, why weren't you invited to his dreams :/

... In other news, pre-orders are open for OBT's second book, Better Late Than Never! As always, this is a not-for-profit print run, and pricing goes solely towards cost of manufacture and shipping. You can find more info about the books here!

Missed out on the first book? Born Yesterday is also getting another print run! You can find details for that here. The first wave for both of these runs ends on October 13th, with another wave being held shortly after! That said, if you miss out on the waves for these runs, I try to hold print runs at least once a year for OBT, so there will be opportunities in the future.

Am I the asshole for lying to Amazon?

I am chronically ill, I need a specific supplement to be able to function. I'm not comfortable sharing what exactly I've got, but please understand that I do need the pills and I need to take 12 of them a day. They're not exactly cheap, my monthly supply is $87 and I'm buying the cheapest available version of the product. No, my insurance doesn't help at all with it, I've tried. My insurance wants me on a different medication that my doctor doesn't think is a good idea.

Two months ago when I ordered it from Amazon (I usually get them from the manufacturer directly, I just needed the two day shipping to avoid missing a dose) one of the bottles was heavily melted. I took a picture and contacted customer support. They were super helpful and refunded me without needing to see proof.

A few days later I got the refund and noticed that I was refunded for my entire purchase, not just the melted one. I'm not employed and I'm still waiting to hear back about my disability payments so... I just took it and didn't say anything.

This month, the money is even tighter due to having to pay some unexpected bills. I ordered my supplements again and they arrived unharmed. I contacted customer support anyway, and told them the bottle was melted again. I got a full refund again, which will be very helpful to be able to get groceries. They didn't even ask for the proof, so like... I could keep doing it if I needed to.

Why I might be the asshole:

I did just lie and steal from a company. There was nothing wrong with these pills, and they still didn't ask for any proof so... I'm taking advantage of their trust. I really don't feel good about it.

Why I might not be the asshole:

I did check, they're being shipped from Amazon themself. I don't think the company is responsible for the product getting damaged in an Amazon warehouse so hopefully I'm just stealing from Jeff Bezos.

What are these acronyms?

Question ab timings of the pre-orders:

Heey LOVE THE MERCH WAITING FOR PAYCHECK TO GET IT But I can't find any info on WHEN the estimate shipping time will be? Do you guys have any plans for it? Before the New Years, after it, maybe like in what quarter/half of the 2024-2025 people can expect it to be shipped/arrive? ALSO is the stuff limited in quantity or will it be calculated+manufactured after you close the shop? ea. do we have to worry about something running out??

We aren't sure how much it will take for everything to be shipped, since we are gonna start manufacturing all after the shop closes !

And yes, Everything is unlimited until we close the shop !
