Shipping Premium Acoustic Panels

Shipping Guide: From & To UK

Choosing the Right Shipping Method

For premium acoustic panels, shipping in a Full Container Load (FCL) within a 20' or 40' dry container is recommended. This offers optimal protection against damage and theft. Consider Out of Gauge (OOG) shipment if panels exceed standard container dimensions (see Weight & Dimension Guidelines below). Breakbulk is generally less cost-effective and less protective for this type of cargo. Shipping International offers various shipping methods.

Weight & Dimension Guidelines

• FCL (20' Container): Maximum weight and dimensions vary depending on the specific container and carrier.
• FCL (40' Container): Maximum weight and dimensions vary depending on the specific container and carrier.
• OOG: Panels exceeding standard container dimensions require special handling and may incur additional charges.
• LCL (Less than Container Load): Generally not recommended for premium acoustic panels due to increased risk of damage.

Packaging Your Acoustic Panels

Proper packaging is crucial.

• Strong Pallets: Securely palletise panels for stability.
• Protective Wrapping: Wrap individual panels in bubble wrap or similar material.
• Corner Protection: Use corner boards to prevent edge damage.
• Stretch Film: Securely wrap the entire pallet.
• Custom Crating (if necessary): For unusually fragile or oddly shaped panels, custom crating may be required.

Documentation

Ensure all necessary documentation is accurate:

• Commercial Invoice: Detailing contents, value, and weight.
• Packing List: Listing contents of each package.
• Bill of Lading (B/L): Contract of carriage.
• Certificate of Origin (if required): Proving goods' origin.
• Insurance Documents (recommended): Protecting against loss or damage.

Troubleshooting

• Damaged Panels Upon Arrival: Immediately inspect upon delivery. Note all damage on the delivery receipt and contact the carrier immediately. Take photos as evidence.
• Customs Delays: Ensure all necessary customs documentation is prepared and accurate to minimize delays.
