Sea freight is the cheapest way to move heavy cargo across oceans — and the easiest bill to get wrong. Rates move with fuel prices, peak seasons and port congestion, so a quote from March can look nothing like the invoice in October.
Consolidate before you ship
Less-than-container loads ride cheapest when grouped with compatible freight. Our export desk consolidates weekly, so small shippers pay a share of a container instead of the whole box.
Time the sailing
Shipping one week before a rate increase, or avoiding the pre-holiday rush, can save more than any negotiation. We publish sailing calendars with our quotes so you can choose.
Fix the terms up front
Clear responsibility for duties, port handling and last-mile delivery stops surprise charges at the destination dock. Every Courex ocean quote itemises all three before you commit.
