How Do Freight Forwarders Help You?

Freight forwarders can access a wide network of carriers, assisting in negotiating lower rates than businesses are capable of on their own, and they can assist these same businesses with custom regulations which can be a complex and time-consuming process. Whether you’re looking to ship domestically or internationally, Rinchem can help ensure your goods are shipped safely and efficiently, helping your shipments arrive on schedule. Our team can assist you with a variety of freight forwarding services such as:

    Warehousing: Freight forwarders can provide warehousing services for clients who need to store their goods before or after shipping. This can be helpful for clients who need to consolidate shipments or who need to store goods for a short period of time.
