General Help & Advice
A well planned cargo is half the battle won. It is essential to prepare for cargo well in advance. This will smooth the process and roll out the red carpet for a hassle free cargo delivery to your desired destination.
Here are some key points for you to consider while planning a cargo delivery.
First and foremost, start taking measures 4 weeks before or at least 2 weeks in advance.
Packing
The cargo has to pass through various junctions in its transit. So ensure the packing of your goods is sturdy enough to bear jerks while on the go. We recommend using double walled cardboard boxes, shrink wraps, polystyrene cubes, bubble wraps, etc. to pack your belongings.
Chargeable Weight
When sending goods by air cargo, the chargeable weight is determined either on the volume-weight or the actual weight whichever is higher. So while you pack make certain you dump articles in a box matching the volume weight of the box. So that you pay as per the weight you are carrying. But in some exception commodities like a cushion, quilt, etc., you will be charged on volume as these goods are bulky in nature and light in weight.
Accuracy of Details
Another most important aspect for smooth and hassle-less transit of goods is the accuracy of the details. So it is essential for you to jot down each and every detail in relation to cargo precisely.
