Services
Here at Texas Global Services, we offer a variety of international shipping services to our customers in order to move freight safely and on time. These services include multiple forms of transportation, logistics, and value-added services.
Transportation
Transporting goods is simply the base of trade and international shipping. Air, ocean and trucking are different methods. Utilizing a combination of these methods is what we call intermodal transportation, a necessary part of moving freight.
Air is fast and flexible. The cost is high but the ability to get your goods delivered quickly is the payoff. Solves many supply chain problems.
Ocean is slow and affordable. The backbone of shipping internationally. Ideal for large or overweight cargo.
Logistics
Logistics to support your supply chain. Things like warehousing, secure storage, packaging, fulfillment, delivery and more.
These logistics services are all necessary part of moving your freight to it’s final destination where we deliver.
Value-Added Services
Additionally, we have different value adds like customs brokerage, insurance, and temperature controlled or dangerous goods.
Help clearing cargo, protecting your freight against damage or loss during transit, etc. These are services we provide for our customers to make their experience with Texas Global Services a pleasant one.
Shipping Tips
There are many things you can do to help your shipment success and manage your expectations with a clear understanding.
Plan Ahead
This is imperative. Gathering information about your cargo, it’s destination and requirements can help you have a better idea of what to expect and avoid delays.
Do you know the HS Codes for your products?
Does your shipment comply with all regulations?
Do you have a contingency plan for unexpected events?
Don’t worry, we can help you with all of these.
Shipping Tips from your International Shipping Company
Communication
Detailed information that needs to be correct is a huge part of this. We urge you to keep track of all communication. All communication must be in writing. A phone call will be backed up with an email.
There will be regular communication with us during this entire process. This establishes a good line of communication, helps erase any misunderstandings and gives you confidence that any issues will be dealt with quickly.
Tracking
Tracking your shipment is just a good idea. The status and location of your shipment is not only for your peace of mind. Detection of issues early helps your freight arrive on time. We have tracking available on our main page.
Cost
Understanding things that influence your shipping cost helps with budgeting and managing your shipment. Shipping when fuel prices are high can lead to a higher rate almost certainly.
Additionally, the implementation of environmental regulations, International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) sulfur cap, has led to cleaner and more expensive fuels further effecting costs.
Texas Global Services is dedicated to your success and our own. We are a family owned business. We take the time and do it right because your freight is our future. Give us a call and meet your new international shipping agent today. We only need one chance to impress you.
