Alianza Global Logistics Services Ltd

Most freight companies shy away from Triangular Trade due to the complexities of setting up the required transactions needed to complete a successful shipment.

Here at Alianza Global Logistics Services Ltd we are members of the Global Logistics Alliance (GLA). This gives us access to a worldwide network of vetted and approved agents able to carry out Triangular Trade with the required insurances and processes already in place. Our staff are trained and experienced in handling all types of Triangular Trade requirements.

• You lose control over your shipment.
• You lose control over your shipping costs.
• Potential cargo miss-handling / danger of damaged cargo.
• Cargo can be held to ransom.
• No point of contact where delays occur.
• No insurance cover if cargo is lost or stolen.
• Exorbitant and avoidable handling fees can be charged by receiving agent.

It can be tempting when placing an order for your import to accept a price that includes shipping costs.  But the biggest danger is the hidden charges (sometimes referred to as hand-over fees) their receiving agent in the UK may add to the shipment.  These can be exorbitant and are totally avoidable. 

If possible, ask your supplier to quote FOB or FCA terms and appoint a UK based BIFA registered freight forwarder to handle the shipment for you.  This will give you clarity of your costs and the service level you will be receiving.
