Quick freight rates online ?
Post 1 of 8
Does anybody know some good websites where you can look up freight rates on different destinations ?
I really miss a good portal to estimate freight prices or eventually compare different lines. So far I only found one good, but it only have rates to and from USA which is not really my main market.
Award 50 MVPs ( What's this? )for the best answer.

I don't think there is one particular website. If they are only small items via Courier, you might have to go to the individual Courier's website like DHL TNT EMS FEDEX etc.
If for large surface freight, then it might be an idea to contact a Freight Forwarder who can quote you for many destinations.
Hope this helps

Replying to [Peter_WoodShop]:I found the site www.searates.com which offers you to sign up and request quotes for container transport though a range of shipping lines.

Still I think there are other and better sites.

For my own sake I'm also interested in ways and prices for break-bulk shipments.

Come out of the bush with your goodies and let everybody benefit.

Replying to [Peter_WoodShop]:That wasn't many answers from users working around freight booking.
I finally decided to sign up with Maersk Line who probably has the best online tools.
Grigo gets the points for the only real answer.

Replying to [Peter_WoodShop]:I don't think there is any website for searching freight rates,but the shipping forwarder.You can get any information from a shipping forwarder about any lines.But just like website,there must be some wrong information from them.It is difficult to avoid wrong information,if the shipping forwarder is not good,just like unofficial website.
