Freight Support That Activates Before You Have to Call
Freight support at Carrgo means the problems get worked before you discover them: shipments are monitored against their plan, exceptions - rollovers, customs queries, port delays - trigger an alert to you with a recovery plan attached, HMRC queries are answered directly with evidence, and damage or loss claims are filed inside their strict deadlines. The measure of a forwarder isn't the quiet shipments; it's the speed and ownership shown on the loud ones.

Freight forwarding FAQs
What happens when something goes wrong with my shipment?
You hear it from us first: what happened, what it means for your delivery date, and what we're doing about it - rebooking a missed connection, answering a customs query, diverting haulage. Bad news with a plan beats silence followed by a storage invoice, which is the industry's default failure mode.
Can Carrgo support shipments it didn't originally book?
Yes - stuck containers, customs holds and abandoned-by-forwarder situations are regular takeover work. A letter of authority lets us pull statuses, settle line charges, fix or lodge entries and book haulage. Most takeovers move within 2-3 working days of authority being signed.
Who actually answers when I have a question?
A named operator who knows your file - not a ticket queue. Regular shippers keep the same contact across shipments, which is why repeat problems get rarer: the person answering remembers the last one and fixed the cause.
