What is the difference between Courier, EMS and Freight Forwarder? Explained each Air cargo service.

Today I would like to explain the

difference

between a

courier

and a

freight

forwarder

when transferring

cargo

internationally by air. There are different

service

s you can use, including messengers. Now the word messaging may not be as common in general this time. I would like you to explain to me. Understand the different international air shipping

service

s, then I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages and using a

courier

and

freight

forwarder

, first of all, a courier means international delivery. The three largest courier services in the world are DHL, Fedex and Ups. These companies own their planes, which allows them to transport clear customs and deliver goods to the final destination, these courier companies operate

cargo

transportation operations, so to differentiate the service we will use a courier phrase for international delivery service , let me explain to you about ems which is a service similar to couriers, ems is also an international delivery. service and are processed like postal goods couriers are managed by a private company, but ems is managed by a company with postal business connections in terms of their services, they are not much different, as they will deliver goods from a sender to a recipient, without However, EMS is operated by companies that are part of the universal postal union and

each

country offers different services, the service provides the cheapest cost, however, if the cargo is lost, it is very difficult to track the package since

each

country has different contracted companies, in general ems is used.

For personal cargo and economy mail items, a freight forwarder means international freight forwarder. You may not be familiar with freight forwarding agents, but they are agents who coordinate the transportation of cargo internationally without having their own ships or planes. They can propose different transportation methods for each cargo, which cannot be achieved using a courier service now I will explain the advantage of using a courier service the main advantage of using a courier service is the speed of transportation Why can they transport items so fast? Their transportation is very systematic and they focus on speed. Your customs clearance is different. than normal customs clearance using a freight forwarder, it is called simplified customs clearance if the cargo value is not so high and less than 2000 US dollars, they can get faster approval with Japan simplified customs clearance , it takes one to three days to deliver if it is Asian countries, it takes four to five days for USA and Europe and it takes five to six days to deliver to other areas in terms of cost, it is cheaper use a courier service for a small volume of cargo, couriers use a fixed price You can find out the cost by identifying the weight of the delivery country and the weight of the volume.

What you need to remember is that there are costs that are not included in the stated price, you will incur import duties and taxes for the delivery country and if it is a remote location. Additional area costs may apply if you have a regular delivery. You may be able to negotiate the cost to make a deal with a courier. All you need to do is fill out the form on the Internet if you are in a hurry to receive the cargo. They can call their call center to make arrangements. There are advantages of using a courier service, but there are also disadvantages, so let me explain the disadvantages of using a courier service.

There are restrictions on

what

large loads can carry. The costs are a lot. They are not flexible with irregularities. Cargoes that cannot be transported by courier are animals and plants, fresh produce, dangerous and corrosive items, a large cargo costs a lot to ship by courier, generally, if it weighs more than 45 kilograms in size and volume, you can get a better deal If you use a freight forwarder which I will explain later. Another disadvantage is that they cannot be flexible with arrangements, cargo packaging, changing delivery location, tax refund and when there is a problem with customs, it may take time to resolve the issue.

Their main focus is speed therefore they are not very flexible with other services now let me tell you the main advantages of using a freight forwarder the main advantage of a freight forwarder is that they can transport cargo as requested by each client if customer's main focus is cost schedule or cargo security and using freight forwarding services may have additional transportation options by sea, air or courier and choosing the best transportation method international logistics may cause problems can delay the delivery date split the delivery location go through special customs which couriers cannot offer allows freight forwarders to step in and provide services with respect to cost, a freight forwarder can offer lower prices with larger volumes therefore If you are transporting large cargo by air, I suggest you use a freight forwarder.

I hope you were able to understand the

difference

in service between a courier and a freight forwarder both deal with international transportation the focus of the courier service is air speed if you are shipping a weight and volume of less than 45 kilograms you can take advantage of their Reduced cost, on the other hand, a freight forwarder can offer more flexible services and can react quickly in the event of an emergency. You can take advantage of reduced cost with higher volume, so it is better to use both courier and freight forwarder depending on the situation in this channel.
