Cheaper . the supplier offers your shipping price always expensive than the freight forwarder offers you . you can think that : the supplier also need to use freight forwarder to ship your items . they also should ask the price from freight forwarder . if the freight forwarder quote :2USD/KG , then supplier will add some,they may tell you 2.2USD/KG or 2.5USD/KG . but it must not below 2USD/KG . supplier will not loss on shipping .
2. If you have many suppliers , you can let all your suppliers sending goods to your freight forwarder’s warehouse . Freight forwarder can collect all your items together and packaging them for one shipment . this can save money on shipping for many shipments .
