Shenzhen-to-Vietnam Sea Freight Case Study: Cargo Delivered in Five Working Days

 

During a period of pandemic-related border restrictions, cross-border trucking services between China and Vietnam faced operational disruption. Businesses relying on land transport experienced longer waiting times and greater uncertainty over their shipping schedules.

One FreightAmigo customer had experienced repeated delays on previous cross-border trucking shipments and needed an alternative way to transport goods from Shenzhen to Vietnam.

The customer initially considered moving the cargo to Hong Kong before arranging sea freight to Vietnam. After reviewing the cargo origin, available services, route requirements and estimated charges, FreightAmigo recommended departing directly from Shekou Port in Shenzhen.

The customer completed the online quotation comparison and booking submission through FreightAmigo in approximately three minutes. After the freight arrangement was confirmed, the cargo was transported by sea and delivered in Vietnam in approximately five working days.

Speeding up Freight Arrangement with 3 Minutes Freight Quotation

In the past, customers needed to spend up to a week on freight quotation and booking process, so then they could move on to pickup and delivery arrangement. Therefore, customers generally need weeks to complete the entire quotation and delivery arrangements. However, FreightAmigo can speed up the entire process.  In this case, shipment delivery from Shenzhen to Vietnam, our platform complete quotation and booking procedures in 3 minutes, shipment was delivered to Vietnam 5 days later.  The entire freight solution did not only complete in 5 working days, but also avoiding the lockdown measures in Shenzhen.  A few days after the beginning of quotation, Shenzhen has implemented closed management in the city in response to the outbreak of pandemic.  Even if customer managed to find a suitable freight solution, delivery could not be arranged as scheduled, which could delay the entire shipping plan.

FreightAmigo platform does not only complete quotation and booking in 3 minutes, which greatly shortens the freight schedule to 5 working days, but also helps customers to ship in advance and avoid any other potential shipment risks amid supply chain disruption.

In order to reduce the impact of China’s strict “Zero-Covid” policy over border control, corporates are then actively searching for other alternative transportation options to stay away from supply chain disruption.
