Make sure to check all of the details on your Bill of Lading (BOL) before you attach it to your shipment. If any information on the BOL is incorrect, it can result in delayed delivery times and significant additional fees.
The weight of your shipment includes all packaging and pallets. If you do not include this weight when you make your booking, you will receive an inaccurate quote.
If you are shipping items of high value, it's a good idea to get insurance for your cargo. Carrier liability is limited and may not cover the full value of your goods.
Liquids must be packed in a waterproof, sealable container. The container must be kept upright in the cardboard box, and the box must be marked as “Fragile” to ensure it is not kept upside down during shipping.
Liquids that do not cause injury can be shipped, liquids that carry the risk of spillage can be shipped in limited quantities, while hazardous or flammable liquids cannot be shipped. Corrosive, flammable, or poisonous liquids are prohibited by all carriers.
Some carriers will ship some liquids but not others. Depending on the type of liquid, carriers may impose additional charges or require supplemental labeling or instructions for how to ship. Because there are so many restrictions and each carrier and location may vary, it is important to contact your carrier to find out precisely how to ship your liquid items through their service to ensure your shipment reaches its destination safely and securely.
