How can I generate a free-on-board (FOB) request at Forto.com?

Step one: Generate a new quote request.

To make a new quote, push the “request quote” button on the right side of the header.

Step two: Complete all necessary information.

Select your preferred type of shipment. You can choose between full container load (FCL) or less-than-full container load (LCL).

Depending on the type of your shipment, you can now choose the transport mode. To do so, select one or multiple options in the “Transport Mode” line. For FCL shipments, you can choose between sea and rail as the means of transportation. For LCL shipments, the transport modes we offer include sea, air, sea/air and rail.

Following the selection of the type of shipment and the mode of transportation, please fill in both departure and arrival address in the “Route” line.

For FOB requests, choose the airport or port in the departure address accordingly.

Below the maps section, you will need to complete some details regarding your cargo; again, depending on the type of your load, you will need to fill in different information. If you have various goods and commodities, you can add those by selecting “Add More Cargo” on the right side below the “Cargo Detail” section.

In case you have selected the LCL option for your shipment, please let us know when your load will be ready and select the corresponding time under “Cargo Ready Date”.

As a final step, you may select additional services depending on the kind of cargo (FCL/LCL) you want to ship. We offer:

  • Additional insurance for your shipment
  • Customs-clearance service
  • Packing and labeling service for Amazon FBA customers

If you intend to ship dangerous goods or cargo with FreightHub that requires special equipment, please also select the corresponding option.

Now review the page and start the search. You will be directed to the next step, where you can view the quotation.
