Export Packing and Shipping: Questions to Ask Before Ordering

International delivery is part of the order planning process. Product size, shipment quantity and destination all affect the arrangements that need to be discussed. Confirm these details before placing an order for die-making materials or equipment.

Agree on packing requirements

Ask how the selected products will be packed and whether any special requirements need to be included. For machinery, discuss crate dimensions, shipment weight and the handling information needed at the destination. Confirm the packing arrangement in the order details.

Discuss the freight option

Ask the supplier to review suitable sea freight, air freight or express options for the particular shipment. Compare the quoted cost and estimated transit time, and clarify what is included. Delivery arrangements are confirmed for each order and destination.

Keep shipment references together

Before dispatch, confirm the consignee information and any documents required for the order. After dispatch, request the available shipment reference and tracking information. Keep these records with your quotation and packing details so questions can be followed up clearly.
