Our business is the logistical and physical distribution of freight in the Continental U.S., Mexico and Canada by truck, rail and air.
Our full service international freight department understands the complexity of freight movements through international ports as have long term experience with Far Eastern freight forwarders and customs brokers. So your freight is not delayed, we carefully review all the paperwork to spot problems ahead of time with faxed copies of steamship notification, delivery orders, ocean and inland bills of lading, packing lists and customs forms. And because of our familiarity with the different steamship lines, CFS stations and container yards, we know all the particulars and requirements that are necessary to ensure that all documents are accurately filled out with the proper information: correct origin, berth, bill of lading numbers, weight, piece count, addresses, etc. so your freight is not delayed.
If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
