 - Priority clearance for urgent shipments; negotiate reduced inspection time (even waivers) for same-day delivery.

Malpractice 1

Changing Size/Weight After Pickup: Made-Up Trouble (Cost Fraud)

How they do it:

Some shady freight forwarders get your cargo, then intentionally make the size (length, width, height) bigger or the weight heavier on paper. Because air freight charges are based on whichever is higher – the actual weight or the size weight (called chargeable weight) – making the size bigger artificially increases the size weight. This makes the shipping cost jump up a lot. Some even completely invent "measurement data" that isn't real at all.

Why they do it:

It's the easiest way to cheat for extra profit. By lying about the size or weight (the basis for the charge), they add a big chunk of money to the basic shipping fee. Clients often get a shock when they see the bill.

The Shipper's Problem:

By the time you find out, the cargo is already in their warehouse or even loaded onto the plane. You're stuck! Questioning them takes time and proof (like your photos/videos from packing, your weighing records), but your shipment can't wait. Most of the time, to get your goods moving, you have no choice but to pay the inflated fee.

The Cost Hit:

Air freight is expensive already. If your size/weight gets inflated by 10%-30% or more, it eats directly into your profits. If this happens often, your whole shipping budget gets blown.

Malpractice 2

Overpromising & Underdelivering (Service Fraud)

How they reel you in:

Some freight forwarder salespeople, desperate to get your business, make big promises they can't possibly keep:

Crazy-fast delivery: "Guaranteed 3-day delivery!" or "Door-to-door in 5 days!"

100% customs guarantee: "We clear anything!" or "No customs issues!"

Too-good-to-be-true prices: Offering rates way lower than everyone else.

Full service" claims: Promising "door-to-door," "real-time tracking," or "hassle-free support" – without having the actual resources.

What really happens:

Delays, delays, delays: Flights get held up, warehouses are jammed, transfers go wrong, customs gets stuck.

Customs nightmares: Goods get held, you're asked for more papers, or worse – stuff gets sent back or destroyed.

Tracking blackout: Once shipped, your goods vanish into a black hole. No updates, just stress.

Promises broken: "Door-to-door" becomes "airport-to-airport." "Full tracking" might only show when it took off and landed – nothing in between.

The Client's Nightmare:

After you hand over your goods, you're stuck. Delays mess up your production schedule. Switching forwarders mid-shipment is expensive and often impossible (your stuff is already moving). You feel trapped, forced to accept terrible service and endless excuses while your shipment is held hostage.

Malpractice 3

Surprise Fees & Price Hikes After Pickup (Cost Gouging & Bait-and-Switch)

How they pull it:

1.  Mid-shipment price hikes: After your goods are in their warehouse, they suddenly demand extra money to ship it. Excuses? "Flight space is tight," "fuel surcharge went up," "your cargo is special." Pay up, or your goods don't fly.

2.  Hidden fees at destination: When your goods arrive overseas, you get hit with a list of unexpected charges to get them released:

Warehouse storage fees, handling fees, paperwork fees.

Inflated customs agent fees, inspection fees, fines (sometimes caused by their mistakes).

Made-up fees like "management fee," "service fee," or "release fee."

The Attitude Flip:

Before pickup: The salesperson is super nice and helpful.

After pickup: They turn cold and pushy. They might even threaten to "auction off or destroy your goods" if you don't pay immediately.

What it really is:

This is a classic bait-and-switch trap. They hook you with a lowball quote, then jack up the price once they have your goods. Knowing you're desperate to get your cargo and avoid bigger losses (like storage fees piling up), they basically blackmail you into paying these unfair charges.

The Damage:

Beyond the direct financial hit, this can wreck your supply chain, destroy trust with your customers, and seriously damage your business reputation.

Secondhand Soldering Machines Detained In Dubai, DL Delivers To Factory In 3 Days

Mr. Ma runs an export business of used industrial machines in Dongguan. Recently he bought eight secondhand automatic soldering machines to ship to Dubai for local electronic factories’ production lines. He shipped three units first, yet the goods got held up at Dubai Airport for four days. Dubai Customs turned down clearance because the machines failed safety inspection.

The core problem was incomplete mechanical safety certificates. The documents missed service life marks and core component maintenance logs required by Dubai Customs. Without these papers, the clearance process got stuck completely. His previous freight agent spent extra time and money to reapply all missing files after detention.

Worried about the remaining five soldering machines, Mr. Ma found our team via industry chat groups. His clear request was to deliver intact goods to the factory within five days.

I explained to Mr. Ma that our company is a direct operator for air freight to middle east. We ship over 50 tons of goods via air freight to middle east every week, and we have rich experience on used machinery shipments. I showed him our past shipment photos, including used SMT mounters, wafer cleaning machines and CNC lathes.

Used machines are not dangerous goods for air freight to middle east. However, Dubai authorities focus on machine running safety and component wear assessment. Complete compliance papers decide clearance results, a detail most small freight forwarders ignore, which caused Mr. Ma’s earlier detention loss.

After the five soldering machines arrived at our warehouse, I checked all required documents item by item. For secondhand equipment, Dubai Customs prioritizes mechanical safety test reports, covering circuit insulation and mechanical transmission standards matching local Middle East industrial rules. I spotted blank and missing data on his original files. I sent standardized document templates from our former shipments back to his factory for revision to avoid repeated mistakes.

I also informed Mr. Ma our local clearance and delivery team in Dubai has over one hundred staff, including 17 full-time customs specialists and several senior advisors with stable official connections. Goods that get detained by regular forwarders can normally pass smoothly with our local resource support. Once all paperwork was ready, I booked pallet space on a direct flight to Dubai departing two days later.

Three days later, goods landed at Dubai Airport. Thanks to our pre-submitted document pre-check, we used the special industrial cargo priority lane of air freight to UAE. The goods finished customs clearance and final factory delivery without any hold-up.

20kg Hunan Embroidery Air Freight to UAE: DL Ships Small Cargo Via Priority Dubai Direct Flight

Case 3

What to Do if FOB Designated Freight Forwarder Charges Too Much?

Everyone knows that using a designated freight forwarder for FOB terms is expensive. Why? Because costs are shifted from the destination port to us. So what can we do when fees are too high? Do you just pay whatever the forwarder asks? You might worry they won’t release telex release if you don’t pay. But do we really have no choice?

Recently, Hassan shipped a batch of cargo to the Middle East. It was not a large shipment, only about 1 cubic meter, actually just 0.85 CBM. When the designated forwarder sent the fee list, Hassan was speechless. The charge was 1200 yuan. For less than 1 CBM of goods, they asked for 1200 yuan, and kept urging him to confirm quickly. It was already late when the forwarder sent the list, and the vessel would arrive at the port in about ten days.

Then Hassan directly emailed the forwarder, saying he could not accept the fees as they were ridiculously high. Right after that, he called them and said they charged the highest and most unreasonable fees he had ever seen. The two sides were in a deadlock for three or four days. Later, the forwarder contacted him voluntarily, saying other suppliers had already confirmed their fees and only his was left, since the container was shared by several companies. Finally, they negotiated the price down to 900 yuan. Hassan paid reluctantly, feeling he had been overcharged.

Therefore, whether you are sending goods by air freight to middle east or by sea, freight forwarders vary in quality. Most are small forwarders with only three to five people, who will overcharge whenever they get the chance.

In the past, people usually found forwarders through friends’ recommendations. But sometimes logistics conditions are strict in customers’ countries, such as Saudi Arabia, UAE and other countries in the Middle East. So we often search the country’s name plus “freight forwarder” on platforms, and many local forwarders will show up.

However, this is just a way to find forwarders. The communication process is very important. You need to tell the real from the fake, filter out shell companies and small unreliable forwarders, and find reliable and large-scale ones. You can directly feel their strength and professionalism during communication.

You can simply say you want to visit their company. If they hesitate and make excuses, they must be small forwarders. Usually they just rent a small office of around 20 square meters in an office building with only three or four staff members.

Those who confidently agree are usually reliable large forwarders. Take our company DL as an example. We now have nearly 100 employees and own the entire 8th floor of Block B, Rongde Times Square, Longgang District, Shenzhen. Our dedicated foreign trade warehouse in Yantian covers 20,000 square meters with 6 floors, and is managed in a standardized way. Foreign clients always praise us after visiting. We are among the top 5 companies for air freight to middle east. You can rest assured choosing forwarders like us, as we will never overcharge.【learn more】
