    I had a great experience with the shipping of my daughters car across Canada. From the pick up to drop off this company is A+. Ian and the crew answered all of my calls and emails in a timely manner and all my belongings were safe and sound upon arrival. I always read reviews as I wanted to feel comfortable handing my possessions over to a company that I’ve never done business with and just want everyone that is considering shipping a car to know my experience was awesome!!

    Get Answers To Common Questions

    What does a freight forwarder do?

    We manage the organization and coordination of cargo shipments from origin to destination. This includes selecting appropriate carriers, planning shipping routes, preparing international shipping documents, and overseeing the movement of freight across borders. Our main focus is simplifying international shipping by handling the logistical details that are required to move cargo efficiently.

    What is a Freight Forwarder?

    The concept of freight forwarding is simple. A freight forwarder is a shipping company that gets goods from a point of origination to a specific destination – domestically or internationally – on behalf of an individual or an organization.

    What is the difference between a freight forwarder and a freight broker?

    A freight broker primarily connects shippers with carriers, most commonly for domestic transportation such as trucking. A freight forwarder, on the other hand, manages the full logistics process, particularly for international shipments, including documentation, routing, and coordination across multiple transport modes. World Cargo operates as both a freight forwarder and a freight broker, allowing us to arrange transportation directly with carriers while also managing the broader logistics process when required.

    Do I need a freight forwarder for international shipping?

    International shipping involves carrier coordination, export documentation, and compliance with destination requirements. A freight forwarder helps manage these steps by organizing transport, ensuring paperwork is prepared correctly, and coordinating shipments through each stage of transit. Using a freight forwarder reduces the risk of delays, errors, and unexpected issues when shipping cargo internationally.

    What types of shipments does World Cargo handle?

    World Cargo coordinates a wide range of shipments, including personal cargo and commercial freight. This may include consolidated shipments, larger cargo moves, and ongoing business freight. Each shipment is reviewed individually to determine the most suitable transport method, routing, and handling requirements based on size, destination, and timing.
