Tips for Shippers

• Residential/Commercial Delivery Coordination:
  • For residential deliveries, provide driveway access details and gate codes (if applicable). For commercial sites, specify loading dock hours and contact information for receiving teams.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Indian Orchard’s zip code (01151) and include a contact phone number. Use sturdy packaging for furniture and anti-tip labels for fragile electronics.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via New York/Newark is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via BDL is ideal for urgent business supplies or time-sensitive personal items.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value items (e.g., $2k+ furniture sets, electronics) should be insured (recommended 1–3% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage or delays.
