International Shipping: Air Freight/Ocean Freight

Let us be your intermediary with freight forwarders to arrange your air and ocean freight international shipments.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING FOR GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS MADE EASY 

While you can coordinate your international shipments yourself, arranging air freight or ocean freight transportation can be tricky and requires a lot of communication. If you’re looking for a third-party logistics (3PL) company to help arrange your Full Container Load (FCL), Less Than Container Load (LCL), door-to-door, or port-to-port services, we can help.  

Through our strong relationships with freight forwarders, we can assist you with your air freight and ocean freight shipments. If your business ships internationally on a regular basis or you’re looking to expand your business overseas, you’re in the right place.
