Route availability
HQ checks the shipment profile before comparing suitable express, postal, special-line, air or other available routes. Not every route accepts every product.
Speed vs. cost, on the table
Air is fast and pricey. Sea is cheap and slow. We lay out both numbers per SKU and let you pick the lane that fits your margin.
What HQ handles
Tracking you can actually read
HQ keeps the available tracking events tied to the order record and flags exceptions for review. Event detail and timing depend on the carrier and route.
Why sellers ship through HQ
Dimensional weight, classification, delivery target and landed cost matter more than a generic 'fastest' label.
Compare the suitable express, postal, special-line, air or other available options for the product and destination.
Review chargeable weight, service level and the included route costs before approving the shipment.
Air vs. sea vs. express, with real numbers. Fast costs more; slow costs less. You decide.
Supported carrier events stay attached to the order record. Scan detail and timing depend on the selected route.
How it works
A quote you can hold up against your current bill.
Where do you ship from and to, and at what volume? We map the routes.
Review service level, chargeable weight, route cost and customs terms for the actual shipment.
We move it, clear customs, and hand you tracking your customer can follow.
We cover the US, Europe, and China lanes well. That's where our volumes are, so that's where our rates are sharpest. Other lanes we can quote, but we won't pretend they're as cheap.
Mostly, yes — and several times the price. But some lanes surprise you. We quote both every time, so you're choosing with numbers, not assumptions.
Depends on the lane and the Incoterm. We can run it DDP so your customer pays nothing at the door, or DAP if you'd rather handle duties yourself. We'll lay out which makes sense.
Whoever's terms you're on, usually us if we booked the lane. Either way, we chase the carrier and the claim — you don't sit on hold with a courier.
It happens around peak season and port strikes. We see the delay early and offer the reroute or the honest new date, so you can tell your customer before they ask.
Send the packed dimensions, weight, product type, destinations and delivery target. HQ will return the available trade-offs.
