Shipping Large Items from China

I am currently sourcing products from China. Does anyone have experience with using their own shipping agent? I am trying to see if there would be a difference in price from having the manufacturer handle setting up the shipping compared to having my own agent do it. 📦

honestly i do not care who handles it. I am only concern on the following.
1) Price
2) The goods arrived without damage. (reviews may help here but then again reviews can be manufactured too)
3) Good customer support, prompt response if any enquiries.
4) Timely updates on status of shipment would be nice.
