5 common myths about shipping industry
2
Myth 1 Customs examinations can be skipped

• If you think, customs exams can be avoided, then
  you are wrong. They are an important part of the
  shipping process. While you can ensure that the
  process goes smoother, you absolutely cannot
  avoid it.

Myth 2 Cargos must be palletized

• There are several factors that go into
  determining whether or not a good should be
  palletized for a given shipment. It mostly varies
  on the type of goods and the type of shipping
  container (FLC and LCL) youre opting for.

Myth 3 Cargo insurance is costs a hefty buck

• When it comes to freight, ensuring your shipment
  is always worth it. This is especially true when
  it comes to international shipping and is also
  highly recommended because shipping overseas can
  be unpredictable and with a little money you will
  secure and protect your package during the
  transportation process.

Myth 4 Cargos can go directly from the shipper
to the vessel or plane

• Cargos do not go directly onto a vessel or plane
  even if they are ready. It takes a minimum of two
  to three days for all the items to be loaded into
  the vessel. Besides, the time also depends on the
  type of shipping mode, whether by sea, air or
  road. However, in any case, they are never loaded
  immediately into the vessel. Further, if it is an
  LCL shipment, it will take a week to 10 days
  because there are other companies that are also
  undergoing the same process

Myth 5 Shipping trucks are always available

• The truth is trucks arent always available when
  you need it. This is one of the most common myths
  about the shipping industry and does not imply
  that the company is incompetent or unreliable.
  Any courier shipping company does their best to
  deliver the products on time, but the
  availability of trucks isnt under their control
