SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

Tips for Shipping (Delivery)

Dealing with business is closely related to how to ship this products safely to buyer. There are many alternative:

  1. Over-Sea
  2. Over-Air
  3. and Over-Land.

Over-Sea

Sending your products by over-sea cargo needs long time to arrive. Moreover, when you ship over countries. There are two ways in shipping by sea. a.) LCL (Less Container Load) allows your good to be placed with other products in a cargo separated with pallets. It is cheaper than using FCL. b.) FCL (Full Container Load) allows you to place your good in a container without any other products inside. This second choice is more secure and reliable for your products. On the other hand, it costs more expensive rather than LCL. All of these depend on the situation.

Over-Air

Sending your products by air is another alternative to have a short time to deliver. As a consequently it costs rather expensive and having tight custom. I would prefer EMS post delivery to send the products by registering first. Usually the good is measured based on volume. So it is important to us to pack them as minimize as possible without damaging it.




Over-Land

Over-Land alternative is effective for local delivery because the limitation of transportation they use. It is good for local shipping. Usually Over-Land shipping is in a packet with Over-Sea or Over-Air service when it reaches on the port.

Based on those shipping alternatives, we have to determine the time of delivery, cost or even security.
