About Us
A freight forwarder built around your shipment
Peregrine Shipping is a US freight forwarder based in Auburn, Maine, arranging domestic and international shipments for businesses that need a steady hand on the details.
Overview
Freight forwarding, handled end to end
From our base in Auburn, Maine, we work with shippers who move goods domestically across the United States and internationally by ocean and air. As a forwarder, we do not operate our own ships, aircraft, or truck fleet. Instead, we plan the move, arrange capacity through our carrier and warehouse network, prepare the documentation, and stay on the shipment from booking to delivery.
That role suits businesses that would rather hand off the logistics detail than manage it themselves: importers bringing in inventory, manufacturers moving components and finished goods, and distributors coordinating freight across multiple lanes and modes. Whether a shipment is a single container or a recurring lane, the job is the same — get it booked correctly, keep it compliant, and keep you informed.
Four principles behind every shipment
Approach
Single point of contact
You work with one team for the life of a shipment, rather than being passed between departments as it moves from booking to delivery.
Proactive updates
We tell you what’s happening with a shipment as it happens, rather than waiting for you to ask. If something changes with a carrier or a routing, you hear it from us first.
Documentation care
Freight moves on paperwork as much as it moves on trucks, ships, and aircraft. We prepare and check the commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and customs paperwork a shipment needs, so errors don’t cause delays at a border or a port.
Right-mode advice
Ocean, air, road, and intermodal each suit different cargo, budgets, and timelines. We help you weigh those trade-offs against your shipment’s cost, cargo type, and schedule, rather than defaulting to one mode.
Capabilities
Four areas of freight work
Our work groups into four areas, each covered on the Services page:
- Freight forwarding — ocean, air, road and trucking, and customs brokerage.
- Specialized cargo — project and heavy-lift freight, reefer and temperature-controlled shipments, and hazardous goods (DG).
- Warehousing, e-commerce, and parcel — warehousing and distribution, fulfillment, last-mile delivery, and parcel and courier shipments.
- Supply chain solutions — logistics consulting, 4PL / lead logistics coordination, and shipment tracking and status updates.
If you are not sure which service fits your shipment, request a quote and describe what you need moved. We will route it to the right service and mode.
