There are four ways to handle split shipments:
Freightos.com quotes only cover one destination. To get a Quote for multiple destinations, tell your forwarder where the second warehouse using our messenger after you book and they can add an additional trucking charge (you’ll see the messenger function on your Shipments page).
Be aware that not all forwarders will deliver to multiple destinations and you can only discuss it with them once you’ve booked. That means your forwarder could reject your Quote and you’ll need to search again. In addition, while most Amazon forwarders will get your cargo to multiple destinations, you’ll need to book either an Air or Ocean Quote - not Express.
Book a Quote to the city where you want last-mile delivery to start. For example, if you want your provider to bring the goods to their warehouse in NYC and you’ll schedule goods pickup from there, just select New York as the delivery location to calculate a standard rate for that city.

This could be a good option if your warehouses/destinations are on opposite sides of the country. If you have two 10+ CBM boxes, it might be worthwhile to ship two separate shipments.
Another factor to consider when booking split shipments is that insurance only covers the route you initially book. It does not cover multiple destination.
Submitting a custom quote request is a great option here. Once you add all the relevant details into the custom quote request form, we send that to all our freight forwarders to review and see if they can provide you with a customized quote.
