Your cargo shares a container with everybody else's. Getting it out, identified and moving is the part that costs people money, and it is the part we do every day.
An LCL shipment sits in a groupage depot until it is released, unpacked and collected. Each of those steps is somebody else's queue, and every day in a queue can become a storage charge.
We work those depots daily from our Durban floor, a few minutes from the terminals, so a release can become a collection the same day rather than next week.
One job, one reference, so nobody has to ring three companies to find out where a shipment stopped.
We follow the shipment on the status reports and move when it is actually available.
Off the groupage depot, with the paperwork it needs to leave.
At our own depot: weighed, labelled and counted, so every item is identifiable.
Released on your instruction, to one address or many, nationwide.
Onward delivery runs on our own scheduled network, as pallets, cartons or a dedicated vehicle, whichever the cargo actually needs.
The delay is usually the queue after the ship: release, unpacking, then collection. Each step is somebody else’s queue. We follow the shipment on the status reports and move when it is actually available.
The house bill or shipment reference, the container number and the delivery address.
It is unpacked and itemised at our own depot: weighed, labelled and counted. It can be stored on our supervised floor if you are not ready to receive it, then released on your instruction to one address or many.
The unpack depots we collect from give 3 free days. In our own warehouse you get 3 days free, unless other arrangements have been made. After the free days, storage is charged per week or part of a week. If we deliver the cargo there is no handling out fee. If you arrange your own transport, a handling out fee applies.
Tell us before the truck leaves. Whether the receiver can offload changes the vehicle and the job.
A whole container rather than a share? See Container Unpacking & Distribution. The onward leg runs as pallets.
Insuring the goods is the sender’s responsibility, and our liability is limited as set out in our standard trading terms and conditions, available on request. Insurance is available on request, unless other arrangements have been agreed in line with our terms and conditions.
Send the house bill or the shipment reference and the delivery address. We will tell you what the cartage, unpack and onward delivery will cost.
Tell us what is moving, where from and where to. You will get a real number from a real person.
