Precise measurements (length, width, height, and weight) are crucial for determining the appropriate shipping method and cost estimations with Shipping International.
Invest in a custom-built wooden crate using high-quality materials such as robust plywood of sufficient thickness, and incorporate internal bracing for superior shock absorption. Climate control within the crate might be necessary depending on the destination and climate. Inadequate packaging is a leading cause of damage during transit.
FCL is ideal if your bedframe fits comfortably within standard container dimensions (e.g., 20ft or 40ft). Check your bedframe's dimensions against the container specifications to ensure a perfect fit.
LCL is suitable for smaller oversized items sharing container space. Exceptionally robust packaging is necessary to protect your bedframe from damage caused by neighbouring goods.
Breakbulk shipping is for exceptionally large or heavy bedframes requiring specialised lifting equipment. This method is often more complex and expensive.
Select the nearest suitable port with heavy-lift capabilities for both origin and destination. Research port capabilities, including crane capacity. Utilise online resources and official port authority websites.
Arrange for heavy-lift equipment at both origin and destination ports for safe loading and unloading.
Prepare necessary customs documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and any required permits. Clearly declare your cargo as OOG (Oversized/Out of Gauge).
Secure comprehensive cargo insurance to protect against damage or loss during transit. Consider All Risks or Institute Cargo Clauses insurance options.
Shipping International is a reputable freight forwarder experienced in handling OOG cargo and heavy-lift shipments.
Maintain continuous monitoring of your shipment's progress with Shipping International.
