Does my shipment need any special packaging for freight shipping?

Yes your freight needs to be packaged and or palletized, it is the shippers responsibility for packaging the goods. Shrink wrap, corrugated boxing, palletizing and strapping or banding is the most common type of packaging for the freight industry or you can send mail to us for more details, We can help you to determine what packaging alternatives are available for your specific type of freight. We also have access to other providers who would be able to package your goods for you for additional costs.

Do I need to know the weight of my goods?

In most cases you can estimate your weight on the bill of lading. But be aware that the carrier can and will adjust the weight, which will determine your final cost. The final weight is known as the "chargeable weight". For Air Freight, chargeable weight may be the dimensional weight if greater than the gross weight of the shipment. If you have underestimated the weight, and the shipment reaches a central terminal, a dock master will judge the goods and perhaps reweigh the goods. If reweighed, you will be billed for the new actual weight. Each mode of transportation has its own set of rules.

Can I have my goods picked up at a certain time to meet my schedule?

We will try to arrange your pick up to meet your time table. We can arrange for pick up on a certain day of the week, with a four hour window for that pickup. Pickups are generally done in the afternoon, while the deliveries are done in the mornings to early afternoon.
