How are Japanese export shipping agents actually? Are they worth choosing?
I have a batch of goods to be exported to Japan recently and am considering finding a shipping agent. But I'm not quite clear about how Japanese export shipping agents are. I don't know if they are reliable, what their service quality is like, whether there will be various hidden fees, whether the transportation timeliness can be guaranteed, and whether they are strong in handling complex matters such as customs clearance. Do any friends who know about this could help talk about the actual experience of choosing Japanese export shipping agents and the points that need attention?
