Trust Your Next Antique Shipment To The Experts
Grandma’s sewing table, a 200 year-old coo-coo clock, an original Gutenberg Bible, a Ming Dynasty vase, you get it—OLD stuff otherwise called antiques. Most of us need to ship antiques sometime in our lives, but if you don’t know the tricks behind antique shipping, it can be a disaster.
Freight, LTL & Air Cargo Shipping in Westminster, CO
Unique Packaging and Shipping 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 Westminster, CO
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.
If you are receiving a non-binding estimate, the charges that your mover assesses on your
shipment must be based on the actual weight of the shipment. Your mover may not lawfully
assess transportation charges on shipments with non-binding estimates on cubic feet, volume,
time (hourly) or on any basis other than weight. Also, the federal regulations require that
shipment weights must be determined on a state certified scale with a copy of the weigh
master’s tickets provided to you in support of the final invoice.
The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
