   Upwork is unmatched

   Although this app, sometimes gets me to my worst... I think it's only fair to call them the best work from home site.

• Price drops at Costco? Hopefully at some point.

  Yeah, still under $3k from Asia to US West Coast according to freightos.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• What do you think of automation at ports? Will it improve supply chain efficiency, kill jobs, both? Is it worth it? This is a key issue in contract negotiations between shipping companies and dockworkers' unions in the U.S. this summer.

  Btw if you're interested in this stuff check out freightos.com - I thought it was a cool idea (and apparently fairly novel in that industry). It's like a travel booking website but for freight. It can be fun to play around with the settings and see how much it would cost to ship stuff all over. Also check out this documentary from WSJ if you haven't seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KtTAb9Tl6E It talks... Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the cheapest way to bring three pallets from China to Germany?

  Where do I compare prices for this? Is freightos.com any good? Other alternative? I cannot fill a container with the stuff I want to bring. Source: about 2 years ago

• 40HQ Container Shipping fees for LA Port

  Just run a search on freightos.com and compare. If your shipment is FOB, you shouldn't be paying a local fee at origin. I'm not sure if they LA local fee is drayage? The base ocean rate looks OK. Source: over 2 years ago

• China (Export) Containerized Freight Index, weekly update

  Whereas FBX since they started factoring in premiums, and also Platts channel checks, are much more aligned with the quotes I get from forwarders (and from freightos marketplace) I use this article as general reference https://www.freightwaves.com/news/different-container-indexes-vastly-different-rates-which-is-right.

• I was an actual shill for 9 months, AMA

  If you are learning web development, goto upwork.com and start doing projects. Your old projects & code is a lot more valuable than some references from a company. Source: 5 months ago

• Insulin pens are driving me bonkers

  I just wanted to say, for anyone reading this far: this is the sort of thing you can hire a programmer to whip up for you to carry around on your phone. u/dark_rug just up and did it, but for anybody else finding themselves with a little spreadsheet to do calculations that they want to work on their phone or in the browser, you can go to a service like upwork.com and put out a request for bids from contract...

• Freelancing as a Civil Engineer!

  Hello, I'm in need of some extra money for the holidays, and looking to find freelance work. I'm a PE licensed in NC & SC. I haven't had much luck with upwork.com. I've submitted proposals to the few jobs posted in NC/SC but haven't had a proposal accepted. Source: 5 months ago

• Almost got scammed AGAIN within 2 weeks of first scam

  DO NOT take job offers from Justin Hill on upwork.com, he is not real. Source: 6 months ago

• Remodel App?

  I recommend upwork.com. Load your project, people from around the bid on it. I have had great experience every time I use it. Source: 11 months ago
