Tips for Shippers:

• Rural Delivery Coordination:
  • Provide detailed directions to remote addresses (e.g., mile markers, nearest crossroads) and specify if delivery requires a forklift or off-road capability.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with North Wilkesboro’s zip code (28659) and include a contact phone number for on-site coordination. For LCL textile samples, use moisture-resistant packaging.
• Transit Time Buffer:
  • Sea freight via Savannah is cost-effective but allow extra 2–3 days for mountain road delays; air freight via CLT is recommended for urgent machinery parts or seasonal inventory.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value machinery or fragile furniture components should be insured (recommended 2–5% of shipment value) to protect against transit damage or weather-related disruptions.
