Freshdi Temperature-controlled Transport suppliers come from 4 countries, led by South Africa at 33.3%, as of 16 November 2026.
Only 6 suppliers are currently active in the Temperature-controlled Transport category, and a solid three of them updated their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a consistent level of engagement, meaning buyers can expect fresh, current information on capacity, routes, and service terms — not outdated or stale offers. With such a small supplier base, each conversation carries more weight and requires careful vetting to find the right fit. There are 13 active listings available right now, offering a range of transport solutions with varying temperature ranges and vehicle types. While not a large catalog, this volume still gives buyers a solid starting point to compare options without needing to start from scratch with a custom request. The fact that listings are being updated regularly suggests suppliers are actively managing their availability. Suppliers come from four countries, with South Africa representing 33.3% of the total. This geographic spread provides buyers with a few viable options beyond just South Africa, which is useful for those looking to diversify risk or avoid regional supply constraints. The presence of suppliers from other countries adds flexibility, especially for international logistics planning.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Temperature-controlled Transport saw 2 new listings in the last 30 days, after zero the month before. Only a handful of new listings appeared, so the catalog remains largely unchanged from the previous month. That means buyers are seeing the same core offers, with little variation in pricing or service details. Check the listing date when comparing offers to confirm which one is closer to the current market.
Is the market busy?
None of the 6 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so all are long-standing. Every seller has a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability over time. The lack of new entrants means the pool is stable but limited in growth potential. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out to confirm consistency.

Trade terms and how to compare quotations
A reference for every category: what the usual trade and payment terms mean, and the points to check when you compare quotations.
| Term | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EXW | Incoterm | The buyer collects the goods at the seller's premises and pays every cost from there. |
| FCA | Incoterm | The seller hands the goods, cleared for export, to the buyer's carrier at a named place. |
| FOB | Incoterm | The seller loads the goods on the vessel at the port of loading; freight is the buyer's. |
| CFR | Incoterm | The seller pays sea freight to the destination port; the risk passes once loaded. |
| CIF | Incoterm | Like CFR, and the seller also insures the goods until the destination port. |
| CPT | Incoterm | The seller pays carriage to a named place; the risk passes at the first carrier. |
| CIP | Incoterm | Like CPT, and the seller also insures the goods to the named place. |
| DAP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to a named place, ready for unloading; import duties are the buyer's. |
| DPU | Incoterm | The seller delivers and unloads the goods at a named place in the destination country. |
| DDP | Incoterm | The seller delivers to the buyer's place and pays import duties and taxes too. |
| FAS | Incoterm | The seller places the goods alongside the vessel at the port of loading. |
| T/T | Payment term | A bank transfer, often a deposit before production and the balance against documents. |
| L/C | Payment term | A letter of credit, under which the buyer's bank pays once the shipping documents match its terms. |
| D/P | Payment term | Documents against payment, where the buyer gets the shipping documents once it pays. |

| CAD | Payment term | Cash against documents, where payment is made when the shipping documents are presented. |
| Bank Transfer | Payment term | A direct transfer between bank accounts, agreed in the contract. |
| Escrow | Payment term | A third party holds the payment until the buyer confirms delivery. |
| Cash | Payment term | Payment in cash, usually only for small or local orders. |
Name the Incoterm with a place, and agree it and the payment term in writing before production starts.
| Point | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Incoterm and place | Every quotation names the same Incoterm and port or place. | Prices on FOB and on CIF differ by the freight and the insurance. |
| Specification | The grade, size or composition quoted matches the one asked for. | A lower grade can hide behind a lower price. |
| Quantity and MOQ | The price is for the quantity ordered, above the minimum order. | Unit prices change with the order size. |
| Packaging | Packing type, size and labelling are stated and the same. | Custom packing adds cost. |
| Payment term | The payment term and the deposit asked. | It moves the risk between buyer and seller. |
| Lead time | The production and shipping time to the destination. | A late shipment can cost more than a higher price. |
| Documents | The certificates and export documents included. | Missing papers can block customs. |
| Validity | How long the quoted price holds. | Quotations are often valid for a limited time only. |
Ask every counterpart to quote on the same basis: only then does the lower price win.
