I know its been a nice long time lol. I only visit the forum every so often, but I logged on today and I wanted to answer your question. for question 2 I don't think I am allowed to give the name of the broker that I use the most on the forum, due to forum rules. If you want to contact me directly i'm of course happy to answer the who, that I have found to be reliable. regarding how I found them, I googled logistic company. Regarding question 1. the savings will not be there for a few boxes. I am specifically referring to what my broker calls a LTL shipment, or less that truck load, which basically means, its maybe a few pallets of merch, but doesn't fill a whole shipping container. My clients order entire pallets at a time.

I hope this sheds some light on your question, and I hope it benefits a future reader.
