Shipment from China to Saudi Arabia: A Typo Led to a Six-Figure Loss, But I Helped My Client Avoid Further Damage

A small error—a single wrong digit—led freight forwarder A company to cause their Saudi client, Khaled, a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Khaled, a procurement manager for a Saudi company, often collaborates with Chinese businesses. He entrusted freight forwarder A company, a *freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia*, to ship a batch of factory equipment from China to Saudi Arabia. However, A company made a simple mistake: they entered an incorrect digit in the phone number, changing a “9” to an “8” on the shipping forms. They didn't catch the mistake in time, and because of the wrong number, the shipment wasn't delivered as scheduled. This mishap caused a significant delay in the delivery of the equipment, severely disrupting Khaled's production plan and leading to losses exceeding $100,000.

After this incident, Khaled realized how crucial it was to find a reliable *freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia*. Through a friend's recommendation, he reached out to me at Sunny Worldwide Logistics.

Khaled was understandably shaken by his experience, explaining that he had initially chosen A company because of their lower quote, which ultimately led to much greater losses. I reassured Khaled, explaining that Sunny Worldwide Logistics is a professional *freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia* with over 26 years of experience in international logistics. We specialize in this route and place great emphasis on attention to detail. At Sunny Worldwide Logistics, we create customized shipping plans based on each client's specific needs, with operational procedures in place to ensure every detail is properly handled. For example, we double-check all client information to avoid delivery issues, and we also conduct strict quality checks to ensure that shipments meet all necessary standards and requirements.

Khaled told me that the batch of industrial equipment he was shipping to Saudi Arabia was large and varied, including high-precision machine tools, automated production lines, and corresponding testing equipment. Given the precision and complexity of the equipment, he had very high expectations for the logistics service.

Understanding the challenges of this task, I worked closely with Khaled to develop a detailed shipping plan tailored to the specifics of his equipment.

We selected specialized heavy-duty containers and lifting equipment to ensure the machinery wouldn't be damaged during loading and unloading. We also used customized packaging materials and techniques to properly secure the equipment, preventing any movement or collisions during transport.

In terms of routing, to ensure stability and safety during the long-distance journey, our team carefully planned the shipping route, selecting only the most reliable ports and shipping lines.

In the end, everything went smoothly. The equipment arrived safely at Yanbu Port in Saudi Arabia. After the shipment was completed, Khaled praised our service, expressing his gratitude for the timely updates and the clear photos and videos we provided throughout the process. The shipment arrived even earlier than expected, and all the details, including the address and phone number, were perfectly accurate.

Khaled has since become a loyal client, telling me that Sunny Worldwide Logistics is truly the professional *freight forwarder China to Saudi Arabia* he had been searching for. Now, whenever he has cargo to ship, he contacts me directly. Khaled has been working with Sunny Worldwide Logistics for over a year now, with total cargo value exceeding one million dollars.
