HISTORY OF FREIGHT FORWARDERS

The earliest records about freight forwarding describe International Freight Forwarders as Inn Keepers in London, England, Inn Keepers would hold and forward clients (guests) personal effects staying at their Hotel. The First Freight Forwarder on record is Thomas Meadows and company, of London. Thomas Meadows and Company was established in 1836. In 1889 a company called Rockwell International Freight bought out Thomas Meadows and Company. Delmar International then purchased Rockwell International Freight in 1990, Delmar was based in Montreal, Canada.

In early times, a freight forwarder was responsible for the transportation of clients cargo by way of organising and contracting different carriers, it was the job of the Freight Forwarder to handle documentation and keep his clients updated on the progress of cargo. The Freight Forwarders overseas agent would then look after the clients cargo.

Today in Australia, International Freight Forwarders operate in all capital cities and the basic principles of Freight Forwarding are the same. Freight Forwarders will look after the transportation of commodities and all of the associated documentation. Most Australian freight forwarders will work with a licensed customs broker. Australian Customs Brokers are regulated by the Australian Government. The digital/electronic age has stepped up demand for international trade and in turn demand for International Freight Forwarders.

When consigning international air freight it is important to ensure you goods are well packaged for international transportation and clearly addressed and labelled correctly ( if your cargo is fragile, use fragile stickers or “this way up” etc as required), if you are sending more than one piece CargoMaster suggests that you number your pieces. Try to make your air freight easy to handle (not to heavy) or if your cargo happens to be a heavy piece, then ensure it is palletized (or on a skid) and well strapped to the pallet (or skid). Check the status of you cargo (make sure it is not HAZ cargo) before presenting the goods for air transportation. Transit times from Adelaide will depend on the destination.

CargoMaster offers door to door international air freight and is able to organize the collection of your air freight from anywhere in Adelaide.

Most international air freight presented for uplift from Adelaide will go via Melbourne International Gateways
