Can I create a bid to request shipment rates in advance?

Yes, you can but we recommend against it for the following reasons:

Quotes are only valid for a limited window of time
Pricing fluctuates and your pricing quote might not represent the real price you have to pay
You get better pricing when the shipment is no more than a month away for most cargo services

If you’d like a pricing estimate for budget purpose, feel free to contact us directly.
