Who are the consignee and the consignor (shipper)?
A consignee is the receiver of the shipment, while the consignor (or shipper) is the originator of the goods.
What information do I need to provide for a freight cost estimate?
Please provide as much detail as possible about your cargo, including description, number and type of pieces (e.g., pallets, boxes), dimensions (L×W×H), gross weight, and any special handling requirements.
Do I need special packaging for freight shipping?
Yes. It is the shipper’s responsibility to package goods appropriately. Common options include corrugated boxing, palletizing, shrink wrap, strapping, and other industry-standard materials.
Do I need to know the weight of my goods?
