Tips for Shippers

• Healthcare/Industrial Delivery Coordination:
  • For hospitals or government facilities, specify security clearance details and delivery windows (e.g., off-peak hours for emergency departments).
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Little Rock’s zip code (72201–72223) and include a contact phone number. Use reinforced packaging for fragile medical equipment or electronics.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via New Orleans is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via LIT is ideal for time-sensitive healthcare or aerospace shipments.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value medical devices or industrial machinery should be insured with all-risk coverage (3–5% of shipment value), including protection against transit delays or weather-related damage.
