How do these shipping companies work?

I would like to order clothing in bulk from the states to Africa. Is there anyone who knows a cheap shipping company that i can use or even a better alternative to bring these clothes to Africa?

    You have provided too little information. However, if you are shipping a little and are in the U.S., see if there is a local company that specializes in shipping to the country you want. Check in the area where immigrants from this country live, there should be one. If you are shipping a lot look for an ocean freight company (shipping line) at the international port nearest you. If you have an in between amount look for a freight consolidator in your area or at the international port nearest you that specializes in shipping to your area of the world. However, you products will still have to get through customs in your destination country, so that should be your first concern.
