When inquiring about freight charges for your purchase, make sure you have all the necessary information for an accurate quote!

What you need to ask the seller.

1)How much does the shipment weigh?

2)What are the dimensions of the shipment?

3)How is the shipment packaged? Will the shipper either put it on a pallet, in a corrugated cardboard box, or in a crate?

4)Will the pick up be at a residence or a business?

5)Will there be a need for a liftgate at pick up?

All of these questions should be asked before you call for your quote on shipping. With this information, a shipping agent will be able to give you an accurate quote. Dont get caught in the trap of paying more for your shipment than you need to.

When calling for quotes, you will save money by going through a freight logistics company. Logistics companies can instantly get quotes and obtain lower rates for you than if you tried to hire a trucking company yourself.
