Tips for Shippers

1. Industrial/Lakefront Delivery Coordination:
   • For factories or Lake Erie ports, specify dock hours and equipment needs (e.g., “Need forklift for 15 pallets at Euclid Industrial Park”).
2. Cargo Preparation:
   • Label shipments with Euclid’s zip code (44132) and include a contact phone number. Use waterproof packaging for outdoor equipment and anti-static materials for electronics.
3. Transit Time Optimization:
   • Sea Freight via Cleveland with Rail: Cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders (e.g., 50+ tons of industrial materials) using Great Lakes shipping routes.
   • Air Freight via CLE: Ideal for urgent repairs (e.g., “Rush shipment of factory parts”) or time-sensitive e-commerce restocks.
4. Insurance Coverage:
   • High-value industrial equipment ($10k+ per piece) or fragile electronics should be insured with all-risk coverage (5–8% of shipment value), including protection against transit delays or weather damage.
