How to sell freight rate to exporters in a country that 99% of foreign trade is on FOB terms like Vietnam? At my company we are force to find direct shippers who export to other countries. No problem with Asian bound routes, but to the US and EU, almost all shipments are on FOB terms, which means shippers can't decide the carriers/ transporters. We have good relationships with exporters but it's no use. Traditional marketing practices don't seem to work. Selling in the shipping industry is much difficult than in the insurance one!

Does anyone know where I can purchase this tile online (or by phone) and have it shipped at a fair and reasonable price? I am located in St. Petersburg, FL 33704.

Please help! Ebay was the first place that I looked. There were less than 5 auctions and none with the specific tile that I am looking for. I'm so frustrated.
Moving using a freight company? We are planning a move from Tennessee to California. We arent moving any furnishings; just boxes (clothes, toys, etc). My mother suggested using a freight company, but I can't seem to find companies online that work with individuals...just businesses. We aren't in an area that is serviced by PODS or anything similar. Already checked. Can anyone recommend or direct me to a company that does freight for private parties, that may have a rate chart or quote field online?
Any advice on freight consultants? I have a small single store business and am considering using Parcel Management Group (a freight consulting company) to lower my inbound and outbound shipping costs.

PMG takes a 25% commission on my savings based on better rates they obtain for me.
Where to buy baby bedding,etc in Australia that is NOT typical pastel, bears, etc? Where in Australia can I buy baby stuff, including blankets, quilts, cot accessories that is really funky, bright, not tacky and not typical bears, pastels, lemons, pale greens, etc? I don't mind a bit rock n roll, but it has to be gender non-specific also. I have seen a lot of websites for stuff from overseas, but it always works out really expensive because of exchange rates then freight etc. I've already checked out ebay. Anywhere near Sydney would be great, or online (Aussie sites) too.
