FBA Freight Forwarder - Amazon.ca

[bonjourdaisy]

Hello,

I just wanted to pass on my experience with ordering from a Chinese FBA freight forwarder.

I found a company called Forest Shipping that just recently started freight forwarding to Amazon.ca. I've had some bad luck with other freight forwarders in the past but I decided to give them ago. Right off the bat, I was impressed. For anyone who has freight forwarded, you typically have to deal with someone in China who barely speaks any English and doesn't understand what you're asking them. Forest Shipping clearly has North American residents that can clearly communicate with you.

In addition, they were able to help me negotiate with the factory that I wanted to buy my products from. This was one of my biggest issues in the past: negotiating with factories. The fact that Forest Shipping offers this service was outstanding.

Anyways, I just wanted to pass this on because I was really excited to finally find a freight forwarder who wasn't a complete joke.

I've included their info below:

Best of luck!

Clearly your experience with Forest Shipping was better than a very angry customer who posted his highly negative review here:
Forest Shipping China Review - Is Forest Shipping Scam? Scroll down to also see a link that shows what he describes as the hilarious replies to the importer's emails.

I found their listing on made-in-china and found the English poor but no worse than many. It appears that they have only 5 employees.

Regarding them negotiating with the factory, half the population of China (slight exaggeration, ) are offering to do that for a fee, but as I have written in several posts in my AMA how do you know they truly have your interests at heart? Are they getting a commission from the supplier? Is the supplier really the best one for you? Is the supplier a friend or relative? Are they actually buying the product and reselling it to you under a different business name?

If you need help in sourcing and shipping small or large quantities, I would be happy to supply you with contact details for two US owned businesses about whom I have received numerous good reports. They have US expats working in China and employ experienced locals. They can ship to almost any country.

See my post: GOLD - Sharing my lifetime experience in export/import. Product sourcing specialist. where I have warned about using Chinese based freight forwarders.

I would have sent this to the landfill but Walter's response was so epic I thought it was worth leaving up
