Why MX
“Missionary Expediters help us make a true impact across the globe!”
Paul Moore
President and CEO of CitiHope
There’s never been a more challenging time to ship cargo. Documentation, customs, foreign laws, shipping crises… You need an experienced forwarder to take care of your shipment, getting it from A to Z with the best rates possible.
At Missionary Expediters, we specialize in making non-routine, difficult shipments to out of the way places, and keep up relationships with the shipping lines to get you great deals on ocean freight. That’s why our clients trust us to ship over 10,000 containers a year worldwide!
What we do
Our project lead reviews your project with you and browse hundreds of service providers to find the right shipping solution for your needs. We work with you to figure out what price point, time range, and special needs your shipment requires. This can involve:
Air, land, or sea
How will your shipment reach its destination? Our project leads come up with a Project Plan Proposal that can involve many steps. We arrange for your cargo to leave your home or organization to – for example – go to a railyard, by train to a seaport, then by ship to the consignee nation. From there, our local partners will schedule routing to your final door delivery.
Other times, air freight or other means of transportation may be required. Shipping by air is more expensive, but much faster, for small or time-sensitive shipments.
Cost and time
As a general rule of thumb, slower shipments are cheaper to book and prepare. But there’s times when you need your project there yesterday. When that’s the case, we can schedule the fastest route possible.
Everything we do is with your input, to meet your needs.
Preparing the shipment
You don’t have to know everything to ship with us. We’ll walk you through getting your cargo ready for shipping, whether it’s in bags, boxes, pallets or containers.
We take pride in keeping you knowledgable and informed on every aspect of the shipping process, from packaging to the final handover.
Other considerations
Any unique requirements you have, let us know! Unlike large commercial carriers, we have the energy, effort, and determination to take care of your project in whatever ways you require. With over half a century in the industry, we’ve seen and done it all.
Recently, we got a call to move a container of personal effects to Fiji. The owner said he’d last called for the service more than 30 years ago, and used the same phone number as before. That’s reliability you can count on!

In response to COVID-19 health crisis, CitiHope Relief & Development collected screening tests, protective gear, medical supplies, medicines and nutrition for the Dominican Republic, including $3.2 million of medicines alone. We stepped in to help, and got the shipments where they were urgently needed: on time and under budget.
