International Shipments
International shipping with positive baggage
Relocation to a new country comes with a feeling of uncertainty, and there is a dozen of things that can go wrong if there’s no one to guide you in the process. We want to make life easier for you, that’s why we have prepared a list of most common errors that occur during international shipments – and the ways to fix them:
Error 1: Packing and packaging before the final confirmation of the visa – To help you avoid hassle and frustration, as well as unnecessary errands and expenses, Globus Relocation team will confirm that you have a valid visa before the beginning of the relocation process.
Error 2: Deviation from the plan – On the day of actual packing, lots of times we encounter that people are shipping more items than previously planned. In such cases, the shipping process may face difficulties due to the lack of additional conveying tools. To avoid this, Globus Relocation transportation fleet offers dozens of trucks and more than 100 conveying tools that can be used in a vast number of unpredicted scenarios.
Error 3: Packaging gone wrong – Improper packaging might cause damages to the cargo. It may come as a result of cheaper packing materials, using the wrong packing material for the given type of product (f.i. leather sofas should be wrapped with light breathable sponge), not using enough padding / cushioning materials, etc.
We want to keep your belongings safe, that’s why Globus Relocation specializes at custom-made packaging design and production. Our process is based on special visualization software that enables us to take into consideration all the important parameters of package design and eventually to ship sensitive equipment in the best way possible.
Error 4: Invalid insurance coverage – Insurance makes us feel safe and protected, however, many times people are unaware of the fact that the insurance they purchased does not meet the relevant criteria and hence will not offer necessary coverage when needed. If you purchase insurance through Globus Relocation, we will provide you with an experienced insurance coordinator who will go over all the insurance forms and make sure that the you have the relevant coverage.
Error 5: Bureaucratic difficulties and additional expenses – Late admittance of necessary documents might lead to delays in cargo shipment and release, what in turn causes additional shipment expenses. Our coordinator will assist you throughout the shipment process and help you to admit all the necessary documentation on time.
International conveyance involves hundreds of complex logistic and administrative steps, and maneuvering them while avoiding unpredicted errors and costly delays can be done only by a company with proven experience. And this is exactly what we do.
