Shipping The air freight shipping process further explained
The door-to-door air cargo process starts with the shipper. - A shipper is the person or company that is physically and administratively responsible for shipping the goods ; nothing more and nothing less.
Although in a lot of cases the shipper is also the customer of the forwarder, this is not necessarily so. The customer can just as well be the consignee, or a third party that has ordered the goods stored at the shipper’s ******** to be shipped from A to B. For this same reason, the shipper also does not need to be the owner of the goods. This all depends on the delivery terms (or: Incoterms) that are agreed between the parties involved, e.g. a buyer, owner of the goods, a seller, a maintenance company, a distributor, a transport company, a forwarder, etc. (For more information on Incoterms look here on The Cargo Channel.)
For security reasons these days the shipper must be a known shipper for the forwarder and thus also for the next steps in the process.
About air freight costs and quotes
Before taking any further steps, in order to avoid surprises afterward, it is important for the shipper to be aware of the different cost elements of air freight. An overview of the possible costs involved can be found here at SUPATH Freight.
Another important consideration for the shipper is whether or not to (let) consolidate goods into one shipment, or to send the goods as individual shipments. In most cases consolidation of goods is cheaper but also slower, especially if the forwarder consolidates goods of several shippers to a certain destination. In case of emergency freight, if speed is required, Shipping the goods as individual shipments can be an advan***e, because it is more easily traced and expedited during the process ; but it will probably be more expensive as well, because the costs cannot be spread over a bigger volume. Read more about this here, here and also here at SUPATH Freight.
The next step for the shipper / customer will generally be to request a freight quote at one or more forwarders, and then select the forwarder that will become responsible for the shipment(s). Often there is a steady relationship and a financial / credit arrangement between a shipper / customer and one or more forwarders that take care of the worldwide transport of the shipped goods. (Look here at KG SID for the elements of a freight quote. The service a shipper / customer can expect from a forwarder may partly depend on how his own strategy is set up, see: Strategic Shippers vs. Transactional Shippers ; also see: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Shippers.)
Shipping the air freight
The shipper is responsible for efficient assembly of the shipment in terms of volume, weight and packaging in order to …
... get the best price / volume utilization of the aircraft pallet or container
... avoid damage to goods, people and aircraft.

When the goods are ready for transport (RFT = correctly packed, labelled and with the right ********s for forwarding as well as road transport as the next steps), the shipper orders transport of the goods.
Depending on the transport agreement with the forwarder, this road transport can be organised by either the forwarder or the shipper.
The goods are picked up at the shipper’s warehouse for delivery by road transport at the warehouse of the forwarder who organizes the further air cargo process.
Depending on the internal organisation of the forwarder’s or shipper’s processes, the road transport can be executed either with in-house operated trucks, vans or personnel or by a third party-.
The transport company (or the forwarder) will give the shipper a proof of acceptance (POA).
