Freight, LTL & Air Cargo Shipping in Durham, NC
DURHAM PACK & SHIP Is Your Local Expert For Shipping Large & Heavy Freight, LTL (less than truck load) And Domestic and International Air Cargo
Shipping small packages is relatively simple, but how do you ship something that is too big for FedEx, UPS, USPS and DHL? Transporting large and heavy items can be a challenge (and risky) if you don’t understand the dynamics of freight and air cargo shipping. Shipments in the “freight” category can be moved by truck, rail, air cargo and sea container. The rules, regulations, requirements and costs for freight shipping are far different than for small packages, so it’s imperative to find a “freight professional” who knows how to navigate the freight environment to secure reliable, efficient and safe transportation for a price that fits your budget.
International Shipping in Durham, NC
Fast & Reliable Package Delivery Around The World
Shipping an iPad to your Aunt in Des Moines is pretty simple. Sending an iPad to someone in Australia is a different story.
International shipping is far more complicated than shipping domestically because every country has different laws and rules regarding commodities entering their country. Some items can be shipped without issue to Spain, but the same item may be prohibited for shipping to Mexico.
You also need to know the rules for import taxes, international duties, brokerage fees and other additional costs that may be assessed on your shipment. And don’t forget the specialized international document requirements—if you don’t include the proper paperwork, your shipment may never arrive.
You have the right to receive an estimate based on a physical (in-house) survey of your
shipment. Under the regulations, your mover must base your estimate (either binding,
non-binding, or not-to-exceed), on a physical survey of the household goods to be moved if
the goods are located with a 50-mile radius of your mover’s (or his agent’s) place of business.
You may elect to waive this requirement for a physical survey, but if you elect to do so,
you must sign a written waiver of your rights.
In all likelihood, you will find that an on-site estimate based on a physical survey
of the items that you plan on moving will be more accurate than an estimate that you
provide to your mover over the telephone or the Internet. So, unless circumstances warrant
(normally due to the time constraints of a short-notice move or because you are only shipping
a few items) think carefully before you elect to waive the required physical survey
of your shipment.
