Frequently asked questions
What is a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder arranges and manages the transport of your cargo on your behalf — booking sea, air or road capacity, preparing documentation, handling customs clearance and coordinating pickup and final delivery. Shipboxy does this end to end on the Europe, UAE and China lanes with its own teams at origin and destination.
What does a freight forwarder do on a European import or export?
We collect the cargo from your supplier or warehouse, consolidate and inspect it, move it by sea, air or road to the destination gateway, clear it through customs with EORI and HS classification, calculate duty and import VAT, then deliver to the final door — all under one booking with one point of contact.
How much does a freight forwarder cost?
Freight cost depends on origin, destination, cargo description, weight, dimensions, volume, shipping mode and customs requirements, so there is no single rate. Shipboxy quotes a transparent landed cost — freight, duties, VAT and last mile together — for each shipment or recurring lane. Request a business quote and we come back with exact pricing for your cargo.
How does freight forwarding work, step by step?
Origin pickup, consolidation and inspection, main transport by sea, air or road, customs clearance at destination, then door delivery — with shipment tracking at every stage.
How do I choose a reliable freight forwarder for B2B shipments?
Check operating history, whether the forwarder has its own teams at both ends of the lane, customs capability in the destination country, transparent landed-cost quoting, and shipment visibility. Shipboxy has operated since 2019 with teams in the UAE, China and Europe, contract rates for regular volumes and one account manager per lane.
What is B2B shipping compared with standard shipping?
B2B shipping uses contract rates for recurring commercial volumes, dedicated lanes, consolidated handling and a single account manager, instead of one-off retail parcel pricing. It suits importers, exporters, wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and eCommerce sellers shipping regularly.
