  We're in the process of setting up new supply contracts in China and need to organize monthly sea shipments to our warehouse in Bulgaria. I've spoken to a few freight companies, but they're either too expensive or vague about how they handle inland delivery after port. What should I be looking for when comparing sea freight providers? Should I prioritize companies that offer extra services like customs clearance and warehousing? Any tips would help.

  My best advice is to go for someone who does more than just port-to-port - we were in your shoes last year and landed on Sea Gate Logistic. They're based in Bulgaria and seriously know their stuff when it comes to full-cycle logistics. Their b2b freight service was tailored - not just the maritime leg, but also road transport to our distribution point in Sofia and help setting up a streamlined procurement system in Europe. What I appreciated was their fast communication: when one of our containers got held up in Turkey, they already had alternate route options ready. Plus, they have this cool online calculator that gave us estimates before we even signed a contract. If you're building a consistent supply chain, not just testing waters, they're a solid choice.
