Question
What information do I need to provide for large shipments over 20 boxes?
Answer
Once an order grows past roughly 20 boxes or 100 lbs, it usually ships as freight rather than parcel, which brings a few extra logistics steps. Getting the delivery details and paperwork lined up early keeps a large shipment from stalling at pickup or drop-off.
- Arrange delivery: notify the recipient so truck or freight delivery can be scheduled if needed.
- Provide dimensions: supply complete package dimensions (DIMS) for accurate shipping labels and freight quotes.
- Prepare documents: be ready to supply a bill of lading (BOL), packing list, or proof-of-shipment paperwork.
- Coordinate logistics: confirm delivery location, dock or liftgate needs, and timing with your shipping contact.
