Ensure your shipping/receiving warehouse staff is available to receive delivery of your shipments quickly

Once advised your shipment is available for local delivery, take delivery at the earliest opportunity.  The longer your cargo sits on a pier, at a terminal or warehouse, the more likely it is to be pilfered, lost, stolen or damaged.  Help to minimize your risk of problem shipments.

Quick Tip #33
Design your packaging to suit your chosen mode of transport

When selecting packaging for your product, always consider the intended mode of transport and design your packaging to fully optimize your load capacity.

Can the packaging be confirmed to contain more weight, stack cartons higher, or hold more units?

Always consider the dimensions of the shipping equipment (i.e. pallets, ocean container, truck trailer or aircraft) being used and know the limitations you must work within.
