We are an IATA/CNS licensed Air Forwarder since 1974 and a TSA approved Indirect Air Carrier (IAC). We have been an IATA/CNS licensed agent for over 40 years. We have a long list of preferred carriers along with alternative carriers to ensure rate competitiveness and flexibility in transit time, service and price.
All Breakbulk (BB) or Heavy-Lift (HL) shipments use a multimodal transport solution with a combination of land, sea, and air using Breakbulk, RORO, and/or Container vessels, Barges, Railroads, Trucks, and Aircraft. Virtually all Project Cargo shipments are considered Out of Gauge (OOG); therefore, we will analyze your options for the transport of the cargo depending on the various sizes and weights of each piece.
Buyer's consoles, or buyer's consolidations, are primarily used to reduce costs for shippers when they are handling cargo from multiple suppliers at roughly the same time - usually within a period of a few weeks or a month. The process of consolidation allows shippers to increase their load factor and reduce overall shipping costs, when compared multiple LCL (less-than-container load) or FCL (full-container-load) shipments.
As an Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI), we are frequently handling transportation services that require more than one mode of transportation. For that reason, we offer intermodal and multimodal services for international freight transportation. When searching for international transportation solutions, ask yourself whether there is a specific requirement to choose intermodal vs. multimodal.
Selection of trucking services can be daunting when trying to optimize your supply chain. We have been in the business for over 40 years and can recommend the various options available for your move and optimal solution, including heavy haul project cargo. SHIPIT Logistics has the truck logistics partners to meet all of your trucking requirements.

Fantastic experience working with the team @ SHIPIT! These guys bailed me & my client out of an extremely tough situation @ the Port of Los Angeles amidst one of the worst supply chain disruptions in recent memory. Excellent communication, excellent customer service, and super fair pricing. Highly recommend them for all of your logistics needs in California and beyond. I look forward to the next time we do business together. Thanks again!!!

Don’t ship with this company. I requested quotes for air and sea shipping but It takes them ONE week to provide it. I had to call multiple times for them to actually respond to me. To make matters worse, Shibani would ask for information that i already provided in a previous email. Worst customer service ever.

Use them if you have to. But if you have other alternatives, go for it. Office customer service is top notch. But the guys at the receiving warehouse act like they are doing you a favor. You come in with your goods, no acknowledgment. They walk pass you like you don't exist and close the gate. It takes multiple walk over to the office before someone grudgingly comes to attend to a customer. Seriously?! I am still in shock. This is preposterous, opprobrious, reprehensible and outright disgusting to even think that customers will be treated with such disdain.

I used this company to export belongings and furniture to the UK from West LA. I used them twice so I must have like them the first time.. Their prices and quotes were much lower than other companies. For boxes and clothing they were fine. Sadly when my furniture and ornaments arrived, they were many things damaged and broken. Thank gfoodnes I took insurance. I had to make a claim which was paid for and repaired but some of the things were impossible to repair. Never used them again.

It's been more than a decade since I started shipping items overseas with American Export Lines. My experience has been nothing but positive and complete satisfaction with the company. My agent at the company, has been so helpful in making sure that my relationship with company is a happy one. She treats me like family in the company. I can go into her office at any time to get my questions answered in the most cordial and professional manner. Her patience in dealing with the company clients need not be over emphasized.
I will recommend American Export Lines anytime to anyone who wants to ship

I have used the services of American Export Lines for the last 3 years. During this period, I have shipped several containers internationally without any problem. I have been helped my many employees of this company and their customer service is exceptional. They deal with our company in a very professional way. They make it so easy to book and deliver containers on time to our warehouse and back to the port. The documentation is also handled very professionally, making our international shipping experience quite smooth. It only takes an email or a phone call to get everything going.

I used this American Export Lines to ship my mother's personal goods from Los Angeles to Valparaiso, Chile. I did an extensive search for international freight forwarders who have experience shipping personal goods overseas as well as shipping cars overseas. I called several places and this company gave me a good price right on the phone and handled my mother's goods with care. They packed everything safely in the container, I bought insurance but luckily didn't have to use it!

BEWARE THIS COMPANY!!!
I shipped my household possessions from Long Beach to Montevideo, Uruguay with these idiots.
When the shipment arrived, it had been packed with utter disregard for my possessions. Things had been shoved one on top of each other. Numerous items were damaged and I've instigated a claim against them for more than $3,000.
When I called the VP to complain, he referred me to the insurance company and paid little attention to my concerns
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!
