India is one of the largest countries in the world and Indian lives almost every corner of the world.
Doing jobs, studding and travelling or running a business across the world. In this modern age when time is limited and space doesn’t matter anymore for humans, sending gifts from overseas isn’t a big issue anymore. But still, many people do not know the appropriate procedure, eventually either they lost their stuff or one who receives their packages complained about damaged stuff.
Here we are going to discuss the points you should be aware of before hiring the services of cargo   companies. There are so many freight forwarding companies in the market nowadays claiming their  selves best in work with years of experience but claiming something is not going to assure you the     safe delivery of your courier. Followings are a few points you must keep in mind next time when you want to send courier to India.
How professional they are?
Ask them for their SOP’s or you can also visit their website for it. There you can also find the rating and reviews of their previous customers. Read their remarks, note down the issues they complained or problems they face. It will help you to make a decision and compare it with other companies.
What facilities are they offering you?
Fascinating or big names is not what you are looking for but reliable services are the main focus. Forget about the brands and start searching by yourself the actual service you want. Door to door, door to port, port to port, port to door are few more demanding facilities people are looking for now.
If you are out of time or in a hurry and not able to drop your courier to the cargo office ask them to pick the package from your door and deliver it to the given address. If your company is not able to pick your courier from your doorstep, no matter how low they charge you, it is suggested to leave it on an immediate basis. This is not a professional team neither they are able to ship your personal belongings across the sea properly.
Not just how much but HOW they charge you?
You work hard to earn well for yourself and family and surely you don’t want to be conned, yes, nobody wants to be. Then without knowing the actual cost, how could you just give them the money they ask for? Only reliable companies provide the service of online price quotes for the courier you wants to ship across the sea.
The price may vary as per the shipping medium. Sea cargo though is slow but will cost you low as compare to the air cargo. So if you are not in a hurry, it is suggested to go with sea cargo. It will take approximately 4 weeks if you want to send a courier to India from UK through sea cargo while through air cargo it takes maximum 4 to 5 working days.
For the online price quotes, you don’t need to pay anything. All you have to do is just enter the exact weights and measurements of your package and hit the submit button. Next thing on your screen is the price company charge you for their services.
However, extra services like urgent shipping or packing your courier may increase the cost. So ask the staff for the free services they are providing their clients for their ease.
