Need a freight forwarder?

could assist a new importer get off the ground?

Shipping is a nuisance. Typically I don't want to spend any time on it but it's a necessary and vital part of the business. If you can't get it shipped then you have no business.

In my opinion, it's not an automated website that a new importer needs. It's an agent.

It's like insurance. I was reading this insurance thread on reddit some days ago. There are many insurance websites that sell you insurance. But you really need an agent to tell you what you what and to get you the best rate.

Same thing here. You need an agent to tell you the best way to ship your stuff, how to do it and maybe handle it for you.

Actually that's the thing. Your side project should be an agent. But the problem is getting people to pay for it.
