CourierQuotes.com.au are always looking to get you a bigger discount. CourierQuotes.com.au are sometimes asked: "can I go direct to the carrier and ship with them", the answer is: yes you certainly can, but you will pay regular prices; unless you are an Australian shipping company, freight forwarder or Australian freight broker and you move enough volume to receive a discount.  What about shipping with Australian freight forwarders and freight brokers?  Yes, you may certainly ship with a forwarder or broker, just be aware of hidden service fees or extra charges and make sure you compare their prices with the carriers, to ensure you are not being overcharged.You should only ship with a freight forwarder or Australian courier broker if they are going to save you money and take care of everything for you. If not, why ship with them when you can go direct to the carrier for the same price and service?
