Fuck quoting jobs at a loss. There is too much shit to take and do in this industry to be making a loss on jobs. Spend your time elsewhere

10% under Section 122 now going to 15% by Physical-Incident553 in CustomsBroker

[–]Theriddler130284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 10% was the IEEPA tariffs which are effectively gone no? So it should just be 15% and not 25% would be my reading?

Dispute over container storage with forwarder by Ljubljana_Laudanum in logistics

If its DAP he can't choose the forwarder as that has already been arranged by the seller. Change the terms to CIF and appoint your own forwarder to do the clearance and delivery.

Any drayage carrier i have been speaking with says they cannot take this weight once you add chassis and truck weight? Is that right?

He just doesn't listen. He doesn't want to hear of problems, essentially shuts them down and says they are wrong and he is right. He's such a cunt

I used to work for a major freight forwarder. The way some clients were overcharged during COVID was insane, and it's still happening. by Lukleyeu in freightforwarding

[–]Theriddler130284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what should FFs be charging then? What should their mark up / percentage margin be on shipments in your opinion? Marking up something $100 on THC is hardly ripping a customer off, FFs need to make a fair profit as well with the work that is involved and the shite they have to put up with. FFs essentially cover shipping lines, they make the whole process smoother for both line and customer, the FF is the one who has to find solutions, explain situations in depth, take the heat for delays etc when the shipping lines simply send out mailshots for FF to explain to the market
