Freight rates and delivery schedules, among other pre-established criteria, have traditionally been used by shipping businesses to settle their freight bills.The product forwarders receive shipping assistance from the forwarders, a collection of smaller product forwarders and shipping businesses. These companies transport cargo from ships to factories, warehouses, and other locations where things are made and delivered for retail sales. All of these duties fall under the purview of the product forwarders, who also receive a little revenue share from the forwarding companies in charge of them. Some freight forwarders do more than just move items; they also offer storage services.
