Support
Support
The shipping industry continues to evolve at a very fast pace. Some of the changes in the industry have proven to be very beneficial for our customers. There are also areas that have proven to be a challenge for our customers. As a way to cut costs, ocean carriers have been steadily eliminating sales and sales support positions. Only the very largest shippers have special support teams assigned to their accounts.
Because of our combined volume and relationships with our ocean carriers, we have these same special support teams assigned to our account. If one of our customers is experiencing an issue, we have direct access to the appropriate carrier support team for a fast resolution. We spend the time resolving the issue so our customers can focus on growing their business.

"I have been working with TOYSA for over 20 years and they have been a perfect match for TOMY International, Inc. By having TOYSA negotiate our ocean freight rates, our operations group has more time to focus on managing our business. Operating in a global market is a major challenge as there is constant pressure on costs and margins. TOYSA provides my company with freight savings that goes directly to the bottom line. In addition to the freight savings, we have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from TOYSA’S annual refunds. Another benefit that is very important to me is the contracts with the ocean carriers are with TOYSA and they handle all the negotiations. The constant pressure from the carriers to increase rates is always handled to my satisfaction with TOYSA. I could not be more pleased with TOYSA. They are a major asset in our efforts to sustain a competitive advantage."

"We have been using the Shipper’s Association for the past 2 years. Using the IHSA, we have been able to realize significant savings while continuing to use our appointed freight forwarder. In addition to the cost savings, we have been extremely pleased with the level of service we received as well as the clout the association is able to leverage with the carriers. Whenever we have hot shipments or if our factories fail to deliver on time, the IHSA steps in to ensure we meet our customer’s deadlines."

Pinnacle International Freight have utilized the contract services of NCBFAASA for several years now and have found the rates to be very competitive within the ever changing marketplace.

Overall, we have found the services of NCBFAASA to be a valuable tool in our everyday operations in moving our customers’ cargo.

We have been utilizing the Shipper’s Association FCL contracts for many years. The rates are competitive and the port pairs are extensive. The main attraction, however, is that having access to the rates allows us to return an accurate quote to our customer within minutes of having received their request. That – to me – is an invaluable benefit of membership in the NCBFAASA.
