Tips for Shippers

• Rural Delivery Coordination:
  • Provide detailed directions to remote addresses (e.g., GPS coordinates, nearest landmark) and specify if delivery requires a lift gate or off-road capability. For industrial parks, include dock access hours.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Meridian’s zip code (39301–39307) and include a contact phone number for real-time updates. Use sturdy packaging for fragile items and ensure commercial invoices are in English.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Mobile is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via ATL is ideal for urgent healthcare or manufacturing shipments, especially during peak production periods.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value machinery or fragile medical equipment should be insured (recommended 2–5% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage on winding rural roads.
