Shipping info
Shipping is available by Sea or by Air.
Air Freight is the quickest, most expensive means of transporting
freight. Rates are charged per kg and is calculated by weight (volumetric
weight).
Sea Freight is the most economical means of transporting goods.
There are two main ways to send goods by sea freight.
LCL - Less than Container Load - this
means that goods are crated in specially designed wooden crates, made to
measure for the size of your goods.
As already mentioned, sea freight costs
are determined by the cubic meter or part there of. For example, if your
products were 0.75 cubic meters, you would pay for 1.0 cubic meter, if they
were 1.5 cubic meters, you would pay for 2 cubic meters. These cubic meter
measurements also include the packaging around the individual items. and
some destination have minimum shipment for cubic meter
The cargo is held by the shipping company
until space in a container is available that is going to the same direction.
The cargo is then "consolidated" with other general freight in that
container and shipped.
LCL shipments have frequent handlings and
thus, we do suggest all customer to take insurance on all shipment to cover
against damage during transit. Insurance is charged at 2.5% on the value of
the goods.
