Prices are specific and depend on the weight of the package to be transported, but also on its nature. There are 4 ‘types’ of rates that can be combined:
- Standard rate: for all goods; price calculated according to the weight of the package
- ‘Commodity’ rates: for goods sent on a regular basis (newspapers, medicines, etc.)
- ‘United Load Device’ rate: for the shipment of goods in bulk (rate applied to the space reserved within a container shared among several customers)
- Special rates: applied per unit, for animals, works of art, etc.
In order to obtain an exact price, you can contact the specialised operators who will then provide you with a personalised quote based on your needs, the item to be shipped and its destination.
To ship an item, you will first need to fill in a set of documents, including for example content declarations, health information for the carriage of animals or customs documents for international shipment.
Whether you are a private customer or a professional, you have two possible options for your shipment:
- Contact a freight forwarder to manage the logistics chain for your consignment.
- Contact an express courier service directly - they will cover all the steps involved in the logistics chain, from collection to delivery. This option manages all of your operations and works in conjunction with government institutions.
Specialised service providers will be happy to provide you with information and help you carry out the required procedure.
