Why Choose Posey Air Freight Services

What is Freight Forwarding?

Freight forwarding is basically hiring someone to handle your shipping for you. We book the space on ships and planes, and track everything until it arrives. It’s like having a shipping department without having to build one yourself. We know which carriers to use, how to get better rates, and what paperwork each country needs.

Our Freight Forwarding Solutions

We move all kinds of cargo using whatever method works best for your timeline and budget.

We’ve been moving freight for businesses for years. That means we know which carriers work best, which routes save money, and how to avoid the common problems that slow shipments down. You get one point of contact who handles everything while your goods move across the world.

Ocean Freight

Got a container to ship? We book space on cargo ships and handle both full containers and smaller consolidated loads. Ocean takes longer but costs way less for heavy stuff.

Air Freight

Need it there fast? Our air cargo service works with airlines to get your shipment moving quickly. Perfect when you can’t wait weeks for ocean shipping.

Trucking Services

We handle the ground transportation too. Our trucks pick up from your warehouse and deliver to ports, or move cargo across borders into Mexico and Canada.

Mixed Shipping

Sometimes you need ocean to one port then truck to final destination. We put together the whole route using whatever combination makes sense.

Paperwork and Documents

Every country wants different forms. We know what’s needed and get it all ready – bills of lading, invoices, packing lists, you name it.

Storage Options

Need somewhere to keep inventory between shipments? Our warehouse partners store your goods safely until they’re ready to move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Shipping Works
What happens after I book a shipment with you?
First we confirm your cargo details and pickup date. Then we book space with the carrier and send drivers to collect your goods. We handle customs paperwork and track everything until delivery. You get updates at each major step.
How long will my international shipment take?
Ocean freight runs 2-6 weeks most places. Air freight gets there in 2-5 days. Trucking within North America takes 1-7 days. We tell you exact timing when we quote based on your specific route.
What info do you need to give me a shipping quote?
Tell us what you’re shipping, how much it weighs, the size, where it’s going from and to, and when you need it there. If it needs special handling like refrigeration, let us know that too.
Can you ship really big or heavy equipment?
Yes, we move oversized machinery and project cargo all the time. We get the special trailers, permits, and routes figured out. Even stuff that won’t fit in regular containers – we make it work.
Do you pick up from my warehouse and deliver to my customer?
Yes, that’s door-to-door service. We handle the whole trip including pickup from you, all the transportation, customs, and delivery right to your customer’s dock. Makes life simple.
Paperwork and Rules
What paperwork do you prepare for international shipping?
Everything needed – bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and all customs forms. Different countries need different stuff. We know what’s required and get it ready.
How do you keep up with changing shipping rules?
Our team stays on top of regulation changes through industry contacts and customs bulletins. We’re part of freight forwarding associations that alert us to new requirements. Your shipments stay compliant.
Can you ship dangerous goods or chemicals?
Yes, we’re certified for hazmat. We make sure it’s packed right, labeled correctly, and has all the safety paperwork. Following the rules keeps everyone safe and avoids problems at borders.
What if customs stops my shipment?
We jump on it right away, calling customs to find out what’s wrong. Usually it’s missing paperwork or questions about value. Our customs brokers fix issues fast to get cargo moving again.
Costs and Billing
What goes into the price of freight forwarding?
Main costs are the actual transportation, fuel charges, terminal fees, documentation prep, and our service fee. Customs duties and taxes are extra. We show you everything upfront – no surprise charges.
Are there extra fees I should know about?
Sometimes there’s stuff like detention fees if containers sit too long, storage if customs holds things, or equipment fees for special handling. We tell you about possible extras before they happen.
How can I lower my shipping costs?
Ship more at once for better rates. Book in advance when possible. Let us consolidate with other cargo going the same way. We look at your shipping patterns and find ways to save money.
Do regular shippers get better prices?
Definitely. The more you ship with us, the better rates we can get from carriers. We pass those savings on. Ask about setting up a regular shipping agreement for the best deals.
Service and Tracking
Who do I call if I have questions?
You get one main contact who knows your account. They’re available business hours by phone or email.
What happens if there's a delay?
We watch all shipments and spot problems early. If something slows down, we let you know right away and work on fixes – maybe rebooking on the next vessel or finding a faster route.
Should I get cargo insurance?
Smart idea for valuable shipments. Basic coverage comes with most carriers but might not cover full value. We arrange extra insurance based on what you’re shipping and your comfort level with risk.
