YOU DON’T HAVETO KNOW ALLABOUT EXPORT SERVICES...

¯ .. BUT IT HELPS TO KNOWWHO DOES.

"This HAS to be inby the third of the month."Fill in the blank. It doesn’t matterwhether its Seattle or Singapore.Shipping ANYWHERE canbe a challenge. Especially ifshipping is only part of yourjob responsibilities. Coast-to-coast or country- to-countrywhen it has to be there it hasto be there.

"If this shipment is damagedwhen it gets there we won’t be ableto get another ready for at leasta month."You know that regardless of whatyour freight is, it has to get whereit is going in good condition. Itdoesn’t matter whether it’s as big as

a drilling rig or assmall as a box ofcomputer chips.If it can’t beused when it getsthere it’s no goodto anybody.

"I don’t care if they have to usea wheelbarrow. Get this partthere... NOW!"Above all it has to be there on time.Sometimes regardless of cost or themethod used to get it there. In fact,just knowing what transportationmethods are available can be achallenge in itself.

"I don’t want any surprises onthe invoice like extra ’fees’ and’special charges’."Cost MAY BE, and often IS, afactor. If so, you sure don’t wantsurprises when you get the invoice.After all, when you give specificweights and dimensions you deserve

a specific price.It doesn’t matterwhether the amountis a hundred dollarsover the quote.It’s more than youexpected to pay.
