So many questions, why do you need this information?
-
Collection point, this may not be an obvious one but it has a massive bearing on where we send the freight from, no point in booking from Liverpool if you are based in Devon.
-
Terms of sale, this allows us to quote accurately, depending on the terms of sale, your liability and responsibility for certain charges differ.
-
Commodity is very important as it allows us to make sure we handle the product in the correct matter, if you had foodstuffs we couldn't load them with chemicals and vice versa, this also helps us help you make the right routing decisions too
-
Weight and dimensions are very important, all freight prices are based either on the space you are taking up(dimensions) or the total weight of the goods, this has a dramatic effect of how the goods can be sent the most efficiently and cost effectively.
-
Urgency, how quick do you need them to arrive with the buyer, no point in sending goods over by air just to sit on a shelf or put an urgent consignment on a slow boat to China, time is money help us to save you both!
-
Area, zip and country information makes sure we are quoting to the right country, believe it or not there are places around the world with similar sounding names so having all three pieces of information is vital.
