Hi team,
Hope you're well. We're bringing in a new season's run of outdoor furniture from our supplier in Xiamen and need a quote for 2 × 40′HQ into Adelaide, delivered to our warehouse in Wingfield, SA 5013. The supplier is quoting FOB Xiamen, so we'd need you to cover ocean freight, port charges, customs clearance and the local delivery leg.
Cargo value is around USD 84,000 — teak tables and chairs, nothing fragile or needing special handling. Goods should be ready to ship from 22 Sep and ideally we'd have them landed before the November rush kicks off.
Could you also let us know transit time on your preferred carrier and whether marine insurance is worth adding at that value?

You can and most forwarders still do. But even a simple quote can take up to 30 minutes of looking through spreadsheets and rate cards. That time is why sometimes small jobs can even be skipped because the margin on them isn't worth the time and effort. Lotic learns your rate card structures so you can quickly and easily price together a competitive quote so you can reply first to a client enquiry.

From your own rate cards, not a public rate index. Lotic picks the cost components a shipment needs across six modules — origin charges, ocean freight, destination charges and the rest — applies your margin and the quotation is ready within seconds of pricing.
