Estes Forwarding Worldwide is a leading international freight forwarder and customs broker headquartered in the United States. Founded as part of the Estes Express Lines family, the company specializes in moving goods across borders and continents for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're shipping electronics to Europe, machinery to Asia, or perishables to Canada, Estes Forwarding handles complex logistics with expertise built over decades.
The company operates one of the most comprehensive global networks in the industry. They manage air freight, ocean freight, ground transportation, and integrated logistics solutions. Estes Forwarding combines their parent company's domestic trucking strength with international forwarding capabilities, giving customers a single point of contact for shipments that cross multiple borders and require customs clearance.
Estes Express Lines traces its roots to 1931 when S.P. Estes founded the company in Richmond, Virginia. Over nine decades, Estes grew from a small regional carrier into one of America's largest privately-held trucking companies. Estes Forwarding emerged as the company's answer to growing demand for international shipping services, allowing U.S. exporters and importers to leverage Estes' trusted logistics infrastructure on a global scale.
Today, Estes Forwarding operates across six continents with offices in major trade hubs including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago. The company employs customs brokers, freight managers, and logistics specialists who understand the regulatory requirements of shipping to and from the United States. For American businesses entering export markets or importers managing inbound cargo, Estes Forwarding serves as a critical bridge between domestic and international supply chains.
Estes Forwarding also offers door-to-door service, meaning they pick up freight from your facility and deliver it directly to the destination. They handle documentation, permits, and regulatory compliance so your team focuses on running the business rather than managing paperwork. For supply chain professionals, this reduces complexity and risk when moving goods internationally.
Paxlo connects directly to Estes Forwarding's tracking systems, giving you real-time visibility into your freight shipments. Instead of logging into multiple carrier portals or emailing for status updates, you track everything through a single mobile app. Whether your shipment is in customs clearance, on an ocean vessel, or in final delivery, Paxlo shows you exactly where it is and when it will arrive.
The integration works across all Estes Forwarding service types, including air, ocean, and ground freight. You can add multiple shipments to Paxlo and monitor them simultaneously. Set delivery notifications so you're never surprised by arrival dates. The app displays estimated delivery windows, current location, and any customs or handling delays that might affect your timeline.
International freight moves slowly compared to domestic parcels. Ocean shipments take weeks. Air freight takes days. Ground transportation varies by distance and border crossings. Paxlo transforms this uncertainty into clarity. Instead of a vague estimate, you know your shipment's actual progress. For importers with tight inventory levels, this visibility prevents stockouts. For exporters with delivery guarantees, it ensures compliance with customer commitments.
Import and export managers at mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and retail companies use Paxlo to monitor Estes Forwarding shipments daily. Supply chain directors benefit from consolidated tracking across multiple carriers. Procurement teams can track inbound materials without waiting for supplier updates. Small exporters who occasionally ship freight internationally appreciate the simplicity of monitoring their shipments without learning complex carrier portals.
Warehouse managers rely on accurate delivery predictions to schedule receiving staff and dock space. Customer service teams use Paxlo to answer shipping questions without transferring calls to the logistics department. Finance teams track shipment completion to match invoices with deliveries. Essentially, any organization using Estes Forwarding for international freight saves time and reduces friction by using Paxlo.

If you manage multiple shipments, add them all. Customize your notification preferences so you get alerts when shipments move or encounter delays.

For businesses shipping regularly with Estes Forwarding, Paxlo eliminates the friction of tracking international freight. Your shipments remain visible from pickup through final delivery, and your entire team stays informed automatically.
Open Paxlo and tap the plus icon to add a shipment. Enter your tracking number, air waybill (AWB), or bill of lading (BOL) from your Estes Forwarding paperwork. Paxlo automatically connects to Estes' system and displays your shipment's current status, location, and estimated delivery date. Updates appear in real-time as your freight progresses through the supply chain.
Customs clearance takes time, typically one to five business days depending on the destination country, product type, and documentation. Paxlo shows when your shipment enters customs and when it clears. If it's delayed, common reasons include missing or incomplete paperwork, regulatory inspections, or high volume at the port. Contact your Estes Forwarding account representative if delays exceed expected timeframes. They can investigate with customs brokers and potentially expedite clearance. Paxlo notifications alert you the moment your shipment clears.
Yes. Paxlo allows you to generate shareable tracking links for any shipment. Copy the link from the app and send it via email or message to customers, vendors, or team members. They can view live updates without downloading Paxlo or creating an account. This is especially useful for B2B customers who want to monitor their incoming orders. You control what information appears on the shared link, keeping sensitive details private if needed.
For ocean shipments, Paxlo displays container numbers, vessel names, port of origin, port of destination, estimated sailing and arrival dates, and current port status. As the vessel moves across oceans, Paxlo updates its location. When the container arrives at the destination port, you see notifications. The app also tracks customs processing times once the container enters the destination country. You get full visibility from pickup at your facility through final last-mile delivery.
