Guide · Getting started

What to have ready before you request a quote.

Four details that make your quote faster and more accurate.

4 min read

You don't need finished paperwork to get a useful quote. You need enough detail for us to recommend the right mode and give you a realistic rate and schedule. Here's what actually moves that conversation forward.

1. What you're shipping

A general description is enough at this stage: what the cargo is, roughly how much it weighs or how much space it takes up. If it's unusual in some way, mention that too, since it can affect which service fits best.

2. Where it's coming from

The city or region of origin. If it needs to be picked up from a specific address rather than dropped off at a port or airport, mention that, since it affects whether Door to Door makes sense.

3. Where it's going

Your destination, as specifically as you can give it. See our Routes page for lanes we serve regularly, though we can typically arrange routes beyond that list too.

4. When you need it

Your ideal pickup date, and how firm that deadline actually is. This is often the single biggest factor in whether Air Freight or Sea Freight makes more sense, see our guide on choosing between them if you're unsure.

Four details, roughly stated, get you a real answer, not a placeholder estimate.

What happens after you submit

We review what you've shared and come back with a recommended service, an estimated rate, and a realistic schedule, usually within a few hours. From there, any additional documentation needed for customs or booking is handled as part of the process, not something you need to prepare in advance.
