Client success
Chosen by 2,400+ Ops Teams Worldwide.
“Zero missed windows in 30 shipments.”
We moved our Asia-to-Europe air programme to Fretrix after a competitor stranded us mid-shipment during a product launch. The customs pre-clearance alone saved us 11 hours per lane.
“100% GDP cold chain compliance.”
Our biologics need continuous monitoring from origin lab to destination cold-room. Fretrix's air cold chain handled 48 lanes last quarter with zero temperature deviations recorded.
“Strict GDP cold chain. No exceptions.”
Every lane is audited end to end, and the exception desk calls us before we notice a problem ourselves. That is the difference between a carrier and a partner.
“One control tower, four modes.”
Air, ocean, road and rail all report into the same dashboard. Our planners stopped reconciling spreadsheets and started managing exceptions instead.
FAQ
Talk to a specialistAvailable 24/7 — +1 234 567 8912Questions We Hear Often.
Can't find what you're looking for? Our freight specialists are available around the clock.
How do I get a freight quote from Fretrix?
Three ways: the online quote form (fastest — usually under two hours on standard lanes), the freight desk on +1 800 555 1234, or quotes@fretrix.io. Have origin and destination cities, cargo weight and dimensions, commodity type and required transit time to hand. Spot rates on major lanes are often returned within 30 minutes during business hours.
What's included in a Fretrix freight rate?
Quotes are all-in for the scope you request: linehaul, fuel, terminal handling at both ends, documentation and customs entry where we are the broker. Duties, taxes and any storage incurred after free time are shown separately, because they depend on your goods rather than on the movement.
How far in advance should I book ocean freight?
Two to three weeks before the sailing on standard lanes, and four to six weeks around Lunar New Year, peak season and the pre-Christmas rush. Bookings on our contracted allocation are protected against blank sailings; spot bookings are not.
Do you offer door-to-door freight services?
Yes. Door-to-door is priced and tracked as a single movement across every leg — collection, main carriage, customs and final delivery — with one reference and one invoice regardless of how many carriers are involved.
What cargo types do you specialise in?
General palletised and containerised freight, temperature-controlled and GDP-compliant pharma, dangerous goods under ADR and IATA, high-value electronics, and oversized project cargo. Live animals and personal effects are the two categories we do not handle.
Can I change or cancel a booking after confirmation?
Changes are free until the cargo is tendered to the carrier. After that, amendment fees follow the carrier tariff and are shown to you before we make the change. Cancellations after gate-in may incur terminal charges.
