Time-sensitive parts

Give the planner the dimensions, weight and handling needs so the proposed route reflects the cargo rather than an assumed standard load.

A few useful answers.

Start here, then bring the specifics of your shipment to the planning conversation.

Does an enquiry confirm a booking?

No. An enquiry starts the planning discussion. Routing, cargo acceptance, capacity, pricing and terms need to be confirmed before a booking is agreed.

Can restricted or unusual cargo fly?

Acceptance depends on the commodity, packaging, carrier and route requirements. Describe the cargo fully so the relevant checks can be made before an option is proposed.

What helps with an urgent request?

Provide origin, destination, cargo dimensions and weight, ready time, required delivery time and any handling or documentation information already available.
