Why We Finally Ditched the Spreadsheets
After 20+ years of Excel files and email chains, we made the leap to ShipThis. Here's what pushed us over the edge and what happened next.
Read MoreWe handle complex freight so you don't have to. Ocean, air, and ground shipping with full customs clearance — all managed through one team that actually picks up the phone.
Full freight forwarding and customs brokerage services. From booking to final delivery.
We move about 400 containers a month — mostly from Asia to U.S. Gulf and West Coast ports. FCL when you need the space, LCL when you don't. Track every container in real-time through our ShipThis portal.
When ocean isn't fast enough. We have allocations on major carriers out of PVG, HKG, FRA, and AMS. Need something there tomorrow? We've arranged charters for clients in emergencies.
We handle the drayage from port plus final mile to your door. Mexico cross-border is a specialty — we know the Laredo and El Paso crossings inside and out. Intermodal when it makes sense.
This is where we started in 1998 and it's still our core strength. We clear 8,000+ entries per year across all U.S. ports. Proper classification saves our clients real money on duties.
We partner with bonded warehouses in Houston, LA, and Chicago. Good for clients who need to stage inventory before final distribution or break down consolidated shipments.
Carrier liability rarely covers full value. We can arrange all-risk coverage through our underwriters — usually cheaper than going direct, and we handle claims if something goes wrong.
Most problems happen when freight changes hands between vendors. We control the full process — so when something goes wrong, there's no finger-pointing. Just fixes.
Call during business hours and a real person picks up. After hours, our operations line goes to someone who can actually help — not a call center.
We clear 8,000+ entries per year. Proper classification, correct duty rates, and documentation that doesn't get your shipment flagged for exam.
We quote what we charge. No hidden "fuel surcharges" or "documentation fees" that mysteriously appear after delivery.
Track your shipments anytime through our customer portal. Documents, milestones, and status updates all in one place — no more "where's my container?" phone calls.
Tell us what you're shipping and where it's going. We'll come back with routing options, transit times, and all-in rates — usually within a few hours.
We've combined decades of logistics expertise with modern technology to make your shipping experience seamless.

My father started Freynox in 1998 with a desk and a fax machine. For 20+ years, we ran everything on spreadsheets and phone calls. We built a solid customs brokerage, but our clients kept asking: "Can you handle the whole shipment?"
In 2022, we partnered with ShipThis to modernize our operations. Now our customers get instant quotes, real-time tracking, and all their documents in one place. We went from 20-minute phone calls about shipment status to customers checking it themselves at midnight.
The relationships and expertise are the same — we've just added better tools. Our team still knows your cargo. We still pick up the phone. But now we can actually compete with the big guys on technology too.
Read about how we modernized our freight forwarding business with ShipThis and what we learned along the way.
After 20+ years of Excel files and email chains, we made the leap to ShipThis. Here's what pushed us over the edge and what happened next.
Read MoreOur phones used to ring 50 times a day with "Where's my shipment?" calls. ShipThis's customer portal cut that by 80%.
Read MoreFaster quotes, fewer errors, happier customers. We break down the real metrics from our first year as a digital freight forwarder.
Read More"I've worked with Freynox since they were doing everything by fax. The difference since they went digital is night and day. I can track my containers at midnight instead of calling and waiting for callbacks."
"We switched to Freynox because their online portal made getting quotes simple. Before, I'd send emails and wait days. Now I get rates in hours. The family business feel is still there, but with modern tools."
"What I appreciate is that they didn't lose the personal touch when they modernized. Carlos still knows my business, but now I can also log in and see exactly where my shipment is without bothering anyone."
