Tips for Shippers

• Commercial Delivery Coordination:
  • For FedEx/UPS hubs or distribution centers, specify dock hours and provide loading zone details (e.g., dock height, forklift needs).
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Memphis’ zip code (38101–38128) and include a contact phone number. Use reinforced packaging for fragile items (e.g., electronics, glassware).
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Mobile is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via MEM is ideal for time-sensitive e-commerce or healthcare shipments.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value cargo (e.g., $10k+ machinery, pharmaceuticals) should be insured with all-risk coverage (2–5% of shipment value) to protect against transit delays or damage.
