What services does a freight forwarder like Logistics Hub provide?

A freight forwarder manages the movement of goods from origin to destination, including sea freight, air freight, customs clearance, warehousing, and multimodal transportation. Logistics Hub handles the full shipping process — booking cargo space, preparing documentation, coordinating customs, and delivering to the final destination — so businesses don't have to manage multiple vendors.

How do I choose the best freight forwarder for my business?

Look for a licensed operator with MTO/NVOCC registration, transparent pricing, experience in your specific trade lane, and responsive customer support. Ask for references, check customs clearance turnaround times, and confirm they handle your cargo type (FCL, LCL, or air) before signing a contract.

How much does international shipping cost from India?

Cost depends on cargo volume, weight, shipping mode (sea vs. air), destination, and current fuel surcharges. Sea freight is generally more cost-effective for large volumes, while air freight suits smaller, time-sensitive shipments. Request a tailored quote based on your specific cargo details and destination.

How can I track my shipment with Logistics Hub?

Once your shipment is booked, you'll receive a tracking reference number by email. You can use this to check real-time status, including vessel/flight departure, customs clearance stage, and expected delivery date, either through the Logistics Hub portal or by contacting your dedicated account manager.
