The platform’s openness empowers users to make well-informed decisions. > > **Cons**: shipping delays beyond the initially estimated timeframe. > > Freightos simplifies the shipping process by handling paperwork, scheduling, and coordination. ----- ### "LOOK elsewhere\!...Only good if you don't know any better\!" — 1.0/5 > **Debra** | *29 August 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I guess they have all the money and first time shippers and don't need long term, customers. Great if this is your first shipment and can't figure out you are being ripped off. > > **Cons**: After 24 full container load shipments, they allowed a 3 rate frieght forwarder get away with not collecting all my cargo, up charging after delivery and saying the cartons were "BIGGER" but the CBM was the same as on the packing list. What a joke. I went back to \[sensitive content hidden\] and have save over $1200 on each shipment\! Freightos hires 3rd rate or inexperienced freight forwarders and allow them to rake over the customers. I have worked with Freightos for years and it is now a rip off and joke. Contact \[sensitive content hidden\] instead. I get my products 20-30 days quicker NOT using Freightos\! Don't fall for the review of the "LTL less that container load" shippers that have shipped 2-3 times, they don't know any different. It is easy to use Freightos but then it isn't when they don't back what they sell and don't hold the forwarders accountable for their error and let them charge you and add on after delivery anything they want to your bill with ZERO proof. > > I have filed numbers disputes so it will be easy to location my file since I have been fighting a $420.00 claim by a 3rd rate freight forwarder doing business on Freightos. Oh, their name is Shining Ocean and \[sensitive content hidden\] is the freight forwarder that is ripping me off. It is not the very small amount of $420.00 but the mere fact that I am being ripped off and nothing is being done about it. So I will take my 15 shipments a year FCL elsewhere\! All over $420.00 that is being ripped from me. Yes, I will pay because I am an honorable business person, unlike the Freightos and 3rd rate freight forrwarders that are over charging me. ----- ### "Great freight quoting and booking tool" — 5.0/5 > **Kirk** | *09 November 2022* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to get real-time quotes. Competitive rates and a good variety of freight partners from which to book freight. Easy to update documents and other information after booking. > > **Cons**: You typically pay 3 invoices for each shipment - one at time of booking for all known charges, one for customs clearance charges while on the water, and one more for any incidental charges upon delivery (e.g. per diem, demurrage). Ideally, I'd love to only pay 2 invoices - once for the bulk on the front end and once for the remainder. > > Freightos has been a huge value-add to our business, providing increased visibility to real-time shipping rates and a centralized platform to see all our shipments in on place. I always look on Freightos for rates on shipments to the US - even if I ultimately book elsewhere. ----- ### "Straight Forward and to the point system\!" — 5.0/5 > **Deion** | *13 February 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seamless Freight platform with great rates\! Also glad to see its ability to save locations so you can make future shipments even easier\! > > **Cons**: No ability to see actual pathing for the shipment, would allow one to see precisely wear the order is other than just seeing locations jotted down. > > A very good one, makes the shipping process all the more easier for my position\! ----- ### "Life Saving Platform for Us" — 5.0/5 > **Duke** | *08 November 2022* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Instant quote, seamless shipping door/door. > > **Cons**: Can't save instant quotes without saving the html address and saving in our CRM. > > Learning to import is a daunting task. FOS has made it so simple even I can import like a pro. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155657/freightos?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155657/freightos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
