During freight, the responsibility of the provider and the carrier is limited by international agreements or domestic regulations for each mode of freight. In case of damage to the goods, it may happen that the responsibility of the service provider does not cover the entire value of the goods, thus the owner may not receive full compensation for the incurred loss. To avoid such cases, we recommend comprehensive separate cargo insurance to ensure full coverage for potential damages. For more detailed information, please consult with our colleagues.

Freight can be chosen from several options: urgent, normal transit time, partial shipment, full shipment, or even various modes of freight (road, air, sea, rail) Please discuss important considerations for you with our colleagues to determine the optimal solution.

Based on the packaging dimensions, quantity, and weight of the shipment, our colleagues will assist in determining the required type and quantity of vehicles for transportation. The loading dimensions of the main vehicle types are attached.

Consolidated shipping involves a more complex, multi-step process. The goods are transferred multiple times between the loader and the recipient. In contrast, a partial shipment solution is usually transported to the recipient with the vehicle dispatched to the loader, minimizing transfers, making it significantly safer and faster. In consolidated shipping, goods from many different companies are typically placed on the same vehicle, increasing the likelihood of damage or mixing due to frequent handling during loading and unloading. The partial shipment solution might be more advantageous in terms of safety and speed considerations.

 It's necessary to package the goods in a manner suitable for the given mode of transport, protecting them from potential damage. During transportation, there can be various impacts such as vibrations, transfers, temperature, salt exposure (in maritime transport), shifting during braking, etc. Certain packaging may have specific requirements for entry into a particular country. For any questions, please consult packaging technology experts.

A freight forwarder ensures hassle-free delivery of the shipment to the recipient through an extensive network and proper professional knowledge. In many cases, contractual relationships with service providers used for transportation are required, necessitating the use of unique systems. With access to such systems, freight forwarders can possess the necessary documents, and customs clearance requires specialized knowledge. Having everything managed by a freight forwarder significantly reduces the likelihood of issues, delays, or misunderstandings.

The more information provided, the more accurate the quote, and the easier it is to meet the desired solution. Of course, not all necessary information may be available in every case, but details such as the name, quantity, weight, packaging dimensions, stacking ability of the goods, as well as the loading and unloading locations, are crucial. Specific requirements like temperature control, securing, delivery deadlines, goods availability, reference numbers, and contact details are also highly beneficial.
