Here are some frequently asked questions

Smarter Shipping Starts Here, Powered by Expert Insights and Modern Technology

What is the validity period of the current rates, and are there any upcoming increases?

The rates provided are valid for a specified contract period, typically reviewed annually. Any upcoming rate increases will be communicated in advance to allow for proper planning and adjustment.

How are fuel surcharges calculated and communicated to vendors?

The fuel surcharge fluctuates monthly based on fuel market prices. Specifically for LCL shipments, the surcharge is calculated as 65% of the FCA (Freight Carriers Association) rate. This percentage reflects the variability in fuel costs and is updated regularly to maintain transparency. Vendors are informed of changes via official communications.

Is it mandatory for all vendors to join the CPU (Customer Pick-Up) program?

While it is not mandatory for all vendors to participate, joining the CPU program can offer significant benefits. Vendors who leverage our supply chain program often experience improved logistics efficiency, streamlined processes, and potential cost savings. Participation can enhance collaboration and provide access to optimized transportation options that help support their business growth.

What are the payment terms for invoicing?

Our payment terms are 28 days for AR invoicing. Invoices are sent weekly to the vendor’s Accounts Payable (AP) department to ensure timely processing and payment.

What is the transfer of liability in LCL shipments?

Liability is transferred to the LCL carrier upon pickup, meaning the carrier assumes responsibility for the goods during transit. However, ownership of the goods transfers at the final destination, when the consignee takes possession. This distinction ensures clarity on risk and ownership throughout the shipping process.
