THE RISK OF NOT INCLUDING INVOICE AND PACKING LIST WHEN PROCESSING YOUR SHIPMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

An invoice provides a detailed account of the products or service and a set of other information. It can vary a bit depending on the requirements in the country the invoice is issued and the type of product or service being sold. While a packing list is a document which details the contents, quantities, carton count of the shipped product, and often dimensions and weight, of each package or container. It serves to inform all parties involved with shipping, including transport agencies, government authorities, and customers, about the contents of the package. It also helps them deal with the package accordingly.

                                                                                                      

Why Charge Shipment with Volume Weight / dimensional Weight Instead of Actual Weight

Many people lament about being cheated, being charged unfairly or overly charged for their shipment, without sufficient knowledge on what determines the shipping cost. Basically, shipments are charged based on size, weight, delivery time or distance. When shipping, it is important that the shipper (supplier) release accurate information on dimensional weight and actual weight to the customers so shipment charges can be forecasted reliably.
