Shipping and receiving automotive parts can be a complicated process for wholesalers and distributors. It requires a lot of effort to find a satisfactory carrier price while ensuring that items are delivered safely and on schedule.
When shipping these types of products, it’s important to consider the specific needs of each part. Many automotive parts are fragile and require careful handling to prevent damage, others are hazardous and classified as dangerous goods, while some may be made-to-order, which makes the timing of stock replenishment critical. Navigating these challenges is crucial for optimising the freight of automotive parts.
Shipping automotive parts can quickly become overwhelming, given the wide range of items involved, from wheel rims and tyres to electrical components and engine parts – many with their own specific freight considerations.
If this wasn’t already a headache, the nature of these items, often as replacement parts for mechanics, means they are frequently needed with prompt delivery.
Identifying the best carrier for each order is crucial to ensure compliance with regulations, customer satisfaction, and a positive impact on your bottom line. This is no easy feat, and the perfect choice will frequently differ per order.
However, comparing different carriers for every last order is a huge undertaking. Fortunately, with the innovative FreightExchange software, it’s never been easier.
