Question

The use of a freight forwarder that consolidates shipments from several organizations into efficient lot sizes usually increases transit time and sometimes raises shipping costs. True or false?

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is important to note that freight forwarders provide all the services necessary to move products from origin to destination using their network of service providers. Which reduces transit time because they can provide document services, customs clearance, or any other service.
