LENEXA, KS--(Marketwire - Mar 23, 2012) - Importers and exporters have a new tool available to them that provides instant International shipping rates from multiple providers within seconds.
With the launch of its website, XpressRate.com helps companies import and export goods overseas by combining several forwarders' rates into one system -- similar to well-known travel sites such as Travelocity® or Expedia®, except for international shipping.
"We've developed a site where shipping companies will compete for import and export shipments while allowing customers to retrieve these rates quickly and easily," says Paul Turec, Managing Director of XpressRate.com. "Unlike other on-line sites that make you fill out forms and wait for quotes, XpressRate.com pools multiple providers' rates into one system so that the user can see their best rate option whether they are trying to import or export by air or ocean. In addition, we provide shippers with tools to help them understand what can otherwise be a complex process."
XpressRate.com allows businesses to search ocean and air rates by origin or destination as well as the ability to add additional cargo coverage, arrange for pick-up or delivery, manage the import and export paperwork process and provides flexible payment options. The website currently has international shipping rates to over 20,000 destinations worldwide and provides for pick-up or delivery to a majority of the Continental United States.
