Describe the project or task the provider helped with:

Booking shipments from factories in China to ship to warehouse in Denver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?

Super user friendly, great visibility into shipments and great customer service. Having a dedicated team for our account is wonderful because we can get questions answered very quickly and the team is super responsive. The quote functionality is also great because we can get a firm quote to help when pricing our products that includes a “landed” cost, and can also turn that quote into a shipment with the click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

A little more expensive than other services used, but I don’t have complaints about the portal/ website itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the provider:

A little pricey but worth it due to ease of use, visibility to ocean freight shipments and excellent customer service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the provider? What benefits have you realized?

Need a place to schedule freight shipments for product. It also allows us to have visibility into those shipments. We can see when it leaves the port in China, how long it’s on the water, and when it arrives to both the port and our warehouse ( or in some cases our customers).

Describe the project or task the provider helped with:

Start-ups don't have the luxury of large, dedicated teams to manage logistics. We needed an end-to-end sollution that could streamline communication and workflows - effectively outsourcing freight management - so we could focus resources on business growth and optimization. Flexport did just that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?

When shipping to and from multiple locations around the world, communication is critical. Flexport's portal ties and consolidates quotations, approvals, documents, tracking, invoicing, and single-contact communication within a specific shipment ID - incredibly simple and clear. Flexport's level of responsiveness and willingness to help during exploratory, trial and on-going business phases has been consistently excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

There isn't much really. Shipping into new countries needs to be planned well in advance to allow for setup (as expected). For the most part it's pretty straightforward and other times a little slower likely due to these being new markets for Flexport. As Flexport grows that will continually improve with experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the provider:

Flexport was competitive - but savings are even more impactful when you weigh the value of the strain they remove from your resources involved with your freight movements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the provider? What benefits have you realized?

Communication and tracking was difficult to manage before Flexport. Understanding where our global shipments are at a glance was not easy. Resources were being stretched to bridge communication gaps, decipher invoices, and understanding what shipment an email was referring to wasn't always easy. Flexport solved these problems, allowing us to move focus back where it was needed more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task the provider helped with:

Our company used flexport multiple times a week to ship products from China to the USA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best?

they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and willing to communicate with you and explain what you don't know. I was through in the mix without any training in this department, and Flexport has been exceptionally patient and informative in their responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike?

There's not too much to dislike. It's another level of communication, so another opportunity for misunderstanding. But such is every partnership. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering the provider:

Use flexport. It's well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems are you solving with the provider? What benefits have you realized?

Flexport has helped us realize which HTS codes we should be using and the trends and terrifs we need to keep at the front of mind. These are things our business never use to pay attention too, and we now see that we were spending upwards of 75% extra on some products and had no idea. We thought a product line was profitable, but it wasn't. We wouldn' have known how to fix that without their help Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
