What is the difference between a freight forwarder and a carrier?+
A carrier operates a transport service. A freight forwarder coordinates the shipment and its arrangements, which may involve several carriers, modes and supporting services.
Which transport modes does Global Sky Logistics offer?+
Global Sky Logistics offers air, ocean, road and rail freight forwarding. The route, available connections, cargo profile and delivery window determine the appropriate combination.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?+
FCL allocates a container to one shipper’s consignment. LCL combines smaller consignments in shared container space. Compare volume, packaging, handling and the consolidation schedule when choosing.
Is air freight always the right choice for urgent goods?+
Timing is important, but the full journey also includes collection, acceptance, connections, customs and delivery. If the deadline is critical, discuss emergency cargo options alongside the freight plan.
Can freight forwarding include customs clearance?+
Yes. Global Sky Logistics coordinates clearing and forwarding requirements with the movement. Share the commercial documents, goods description, origin and destination early so the route-specific requirements can be assessed.
What documents should I prepare?+
Start with the commercial invoice, packing list, goods description and available origin information. Share the agreed trade terms and named place. Additional documents or permits depend on the goods and jurisdictions.
How are freight costs assessed?+
The assessment considers mode, route, cargo dimensions and weight, equipment, handling, timing and the services included. Clarify origin and destination charges, customs-related costs and final delivery scope when reviewing a proposal.
Can warehousing be combined with freight forwarding?+
Yes. Discuss storage duration, inventory needs and onward destinations alongside the shipment. Global Sky Logistics can connect freight planning with warehousing and distribution requirements.
Can you coordinate domestic as well as international shipping?+
Yes. The service includes international and domestic freight requirements. Provide the route and cargo details so the team can assess the transport and supporting arrangements.
