How do I choose the best Quote for me?

How do I choose the best Quote for me?

There are several filters on the Results page to help you narrow down the Quotes to find the best one for you.

You can sort by best value, cheapest, quickest, or greenest.

Best value combines cheapest and quickest for a "best bang for your buck" Quote.

Greenest is based on a calculation of the carbon emissions resulting from moving cargo, and was added as part of the global interest in capping the global rise in temperature and decreasing CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions. Learn more about CO2 emissions here.

You can also filter your Quotes according to several different parameters:

Mode: Choose if you want to ship by Ocean, Air, or Express courier (this only applies for LCL shipments - container shipments can only move by ocean).

Price: Adjust the price range you’re willing to pay.

Seller: Select the forwarders whose rates you want to see.

Reviews: Many Freightos.com customers leave reviews about their forwarders. Those reviews are averaged into a star rating, which can be used as a filter.

Routing: Select whether you have a preferred origin or destination port, or whether you want to see indirect results.
