Things To Remember When Shipping Heavy Items

At Speed Shift we are delighted to be able to offer a range of possibilities for clients keen to ship heavy items. However, there are a few key points that you must keep in mind. 

Accuracy

You need to make sure that you are being as accurate as possible with the size and weight of the item. If the item weighs more or is larger than described, you might face additional charges or the item could be sent back to you. 

Secure Packaging

It is important to make sure that the item is secure. Remember, the package will go through a variety of different stages on the journey to the final destination. It’s important to ensure that it will remain safe and protected. A double-walled cardboard box is the best option for heavier items. 

Courier Restrictions 

When you select a courier, you will need to make sure you check if there are any restrictions on heavier items. Many couriers do have a limit in terms of the max size and weight of a product that they are willing to deliver. It’s crucial that you research to ensure that the courier you choose matches your needs. 

Door To Door Service

Finally, it’s possible that your heavy item is going to be difficult to move safely without additional support. If that’s the case, then the door to door service that we offer will be ideal. With this solution, you can guarantee that the product is picked up at your door and delivered directly to the final destination.
