We caught a mistake NOT made by our team – and saved the customer $3000 in storage.
One of our consultants was burning the midnight oil, dealing with a tricky shipment for one of our garment importers. The BOL filing wasn’t going through, and it looked like the shipment might be held up.
Since it was an air shipment, any delay would mean storage costs of $3,000 to $5,000, and we don’t want that for our clients—so we kept at it, looking for the answer.
Eventually, we caught the issue… A customs broker (hired by the customer, NOT Simple Forwarding’s Customs) missed a single digit on the BOL, causing a mismatch that prevented the filing. Once he found the issue, Waqar contacted the airline and pushed to get it corrected at the last minute.
The takeaway here? If you can get your customs and shipping done by the same company, you’ll only win. Firstly, with Simple Forwarding, you get the benefit of our attention to detail with both your customs and your shipping. And secondly, if there would ever be an issue, we are best placed to solve the problem, because we have contact with all the relevant parties.
