Can you mark this shipment Fragile? ◆ Freight Forwarder : We can attach all kinds of labels such as Handle with Care and Keep Dry. Shipments can also be given special handling for an additional fee. ◆ Exporter :How much does special handling cost? ◆ Freight Forwarder : Well, regular shipping is cheaper, of course. But you have to measure that saving against the advantages of reducing damage. I\'m afraid there\'s some weight limitation on shipments given special handling. ◆ Exporter : It sounds as though you offer some useful services. How much does all this cost? ◆ Freight Forwarder : You can understand that the price depends on many things. We estimate fees on a per-shipment basis. Rates also vary with the costs of the merchandise carried. Our charges are generally reasonable. The seller often pays a commission for our services and passes it on to the buyer. So it works out to be very inexpensive. ◆ Exporter :Becoming an exporter sounds as though it will be easier than I thought, with a freight forwarder to help me.
