What Siam Shipping does

Siam Shipping is the Thailand operating arm of DocShipper Group, headquartered in Bangkok with offices across Thailand's key logistics hubs (Bangkok, Laem Chabang, Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hat Yai). Founded in 2008, the company provides end-to-end freight forwarding and logistics services structured around a platform-plus-modules architecture: five core freight modes — sea freight (FCL/LCL), air freight, road freight, cross-border freight (to Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia), and door-to-door freight — are complemented by value-added modules including customs clearance, warehousing/storage, professional packing, the in-house SiamCare cargo insurance program, and personal relocation services via the SIAM Relocation sub-brand. Specialized services cover car imports (RoRo and containerized), luggage shipping, dangerous goods handling under IATA DGR standards, and oversized/out-of-gauge cargo.

The underlying technology is the DocShipper web platform (app.docshipper.com), a self-service management system supporting quoting, booking, and shipment tracking. The company serves a dual customer base: B2B importers and exporters (manufacturers, retailers, trading companies) requiring commercial cargo logistics and customs brokerage, and individuals/personal relocations (expats, returning nationals, migrants) needing household goods shipping. Named enterprise clients span technology (Garmin), e-commerce (Groupon), construction (Bouygues), financial services (BNP Paribas), telecommunications (SFR), security (ADT), defense (Cybergun), and automotive (MS France), while over 6,100 cumulative clients have been served across 15+ years of operation.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding (per-container, per-kg, or per-CBM pricing), customs brokerage fees, managed-service coordination fees for door-to-door solutions, and professional services fees for value-added offerings (insurance, packing, storage, sourcing). All pricing is custom quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; the company offers free estimates within 24 hours. Distribution is direct-to-client via the DocShipper web platform, WhatsApp, live chat, email, phone (with country-specific numbers in UK, Vietnam, Thailand, US, Hong Kong, and France), and content marketing through destination guides covering 40+ origin/destination countries. The primary legal entity is DocShipper Asia Company Limited, registered in Hong Kong SAR, with Siam Shipping operating as the Thailand DBA.
