There are several alternative means to ship your things. Many people prefer a combination of transportation modes that works best for them. Prior to whatever way you choose to move, there are a couple of factors to consider. Before you start calculating all things, make sure you’ve formed a fully detailed inventory of your belongings. This not only keeps things organised but helps you find them without any hassle.
Now, if you are going to ship your goods via air cargo, take a look at the carrier’s rules before you start packing. Most carriers have very specific guidelines on what they will accept and what they won’t and how items should be packed. For example, any liquids, perishables or fragile items. Most carriers will also require proper labelling; including to and from addresses, warnings and any specific instructions. You will also be required to provide a detailed listing of what each package contains. Packages can be opened and inspected by the carrier, so make sure you’re specific and accurate.
