Preparation
of Freight at Our Warehouse
-
Your cartons and other belongings will be carefully wrapped, packed
and arranged by size, weight and shape in order to minimize the total cubic
footage and reduce your total cost.
-
The items will then be crated into solid wooden crates, reinforced with
steel strapping and marked.
-
Special delivery items, such as furniture, will be professionally wrapped
with the necessary packing materials. Only then, are they ready to be packed
in our wooden crates.
-
Every item is inspected, numbered and listed on your inventory sheets.
Each crate is marked and numbered before being tagged for export.
Shipping
-
When we finish packing, crating, wrapping, marking and numbering, your
crates will be loaded into a fireproof, waterproof container to be shipped
to the destination port overseas.
-
Your entire shipment is transferred to a pier for export as one unit
and then loaded onto a vessel.
-
Your belongings and valuable items are handled only twice, once when
packing and once when unpacking. The least amount of handling reduces the
risk of damage to your shipment.
Documentation
-
We arrange for export documentation, including dock receipts, export
declarations, bills of lading and other required papers.
Insurance
-
The best insurance is quality packing and shipping know how. Our
experience, packing techniques and shipping procedures significantly reduce
the danger of loss or damage to your shipment.
-
However, we recommend all shipments be insured. We will, if desired,
arrange the proper insurance coverage to fit your needs. Door to
door insurance is also available.
