Help me choose shipping method from Italy to UK
-
I need to ship a few pallets of ceramics, and I’m worried that the fragile cargo will be damaged after being handled multiple times in warehouses. Should I look for a full truckload (FTL) now, or would it be better to use less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping to save money without waiting a month for a suitable transport option? I’m also curious about the current situation at the Channel crossing because I’ve heard stories about trucks getting stuck in lines for days due to improperly processed documents on the Italian side.
Does anyone know how CMR insurance actually works in the event of damaged goods if the packaging was intact on the outside? Please let me know where I can find a clear explanation of how to properly document the condition of the shipment upon receipt so that I can actually get compensation from the company later.
From my experience, I can say that shipping to East Africa is challenging. Mistakes in paperwork can result in goods being held up for months. I once helped some friends ship their stuff, we found that standard international courier services often don’t understand local customs clearance procedures. For shipping to kenya from usa, it’s better to use the Gettransport website because you can find proven routes and carriers who have worked for years on these routes. Some time after that incident with my friends, I helped my parents ship furniture along the same route, but using this site. And everything went perfectly; the shipment arrived right on time. Plus, there are no middlemen charging a commission just to connect you with a carrier.
