Common questions
Clear answers before you move.
Understand the information, options, and operating factors that shape this service.
What information is needed for a freight estimate?
For a faster and more accurate estimate, share the route, cargo details, shipment size, timing, and handling requirements. If some details are not final, send the best available information and we can guide the remaining checks.
- Origin and destination port or city
- Commodity, package count, gross weight, and packed dimensions
- For LCL: CBM, package type, stackability, and pickup or delivery scope
- For FCL: container type, cargo weight, loading method, and stuffing location
- Cargo ready date, Incoterms, and preferred sailing window
- Hazardous, reefer, out-of-gauge, project cargo, or documentation requirements
Packing list, cargo photos, drawings, MSDS, or a previous shipment reference can help us validate the estimate faster.
When should a shipment move by air instead of sea?
Air is generally considered for urgent, high-value, or lower-volume cargo. Sea freight is often more practical for planned, heavier, or containerised movements. The final choice depends on route, cargo, timing, and total landed requirements.
Can Senate Freight coordinate door delivery?
Yes. Door-to-door and port-to-door services are available on suitable routes, subject to cargo, access, and local service conditions.
Do you support buyer consolidation?
Yes. We coordinate multi-supplier cargo around readiness, documentation, consolidation, and the selected route.
How are shipment updates provided?
Customers can receive milestone updates, notifications, and agreed shipment reporting throughout the journey.
