ii. Summary
Navigating in the text "Product distribution: the basics" The author takes us to the
different parameters and factors to evaluate each merchant or local or international
negotiator must parameterize the applicant to transport their merchandise.
He indicates that, logically, the monetary factor must be prioritized and the
obtaining of a profit or dividend favorable for the merchant, as a premise of the
choice of the means and type of transport to be used, without this leading us to
neglect and ignore other factors that, although secondary, are no less important
such as the delivery time of the product, the reliability of the transport agent,
whether it is perishable, the packaging and whether the choice made really
satisfies the end customer, all of the above without forgetting that the transport of
materials Dangerous goods require special care and compliance with the
regulations of the entities that oversee such shipments, and in the same way it is
essential to assess whether the merchandise needs to be insured for the value that
it may entail, if so, it is important to ensure that said costs are included in the
negotiation with the transport provider or the end customer.

of cargo agents, as an advantage it guarantees high punctuality; the maritime route
lowers costs as such, but it is not very flexible and slow, without forgetting that
arrival at port means hiring another means of transport for arrival at the final
destination, cargo ships, roll on, roll off, bulk, tankers and tramp type are at our
disposal depending on the need that arises, finally there is the Courier, convenient
in local deliveries, packaged and light weight, they offer speed and security but are
usually expensive in the end.
