What shippers say after the first shipment

“

We moved our peak-season ocean freight to Global Ship Line and stopped getting surprise demurrage charges. The tracking dashboard alone paid for the switch.

Customs clearance used to be our slowest link. Since Global Ship Line took it over in-house, our average clearance time dropped by two full days.

Having ground, rail, and warehousing under one contact meant one fewer vendor call every time something changed. That alone was worth switching for.

FAQs

Common questions about our services

Which shipping mode is right for my freight?
It depends on your timeline and budget. Ocean and rail suit high-volume freight with flexible deadlines; air suits urgent, time-critical shipments; ground covers domestic pickup, delivery, and everything in between. Tell us your constraints and we'll recommend a mode, or a combination.
How do I track my shipment once it's booked?
Every booking includes access to our tracking portal, where you can see your shipment's current location and status at any point in transit. Visit our Track & Trace page and enter your container or booking number.
Do you handle customs clearance yourselves?
Yes. Our licensed customs brokerage team files documentation and manages clearance in-house, so freight isn't handed off to a third party at the border or port.
How fast can I get a quote?
Standard quote requests receive a response within one business day. Urgent or complex multi-mode routes may take slightly longer while we confirm capacity with carrier partners.
Can you insure high-value or fragile cargo?
Yes. Cargo insurance is available on every mode we offer, with coverage scaled to your shipment's declared value. Ask your account contact to add it when you request a quote.
Are there items you can't ship?
Some categories, such as certain hazardous or restricted goods, require special handling or documentation, and a few are excluded outright under U.S. and international transport regulations. Share your cargo details when requesting a quote and we'll confirm what applies.
