 Shipping & Freight |
| How Will My Cases Arrive?
Only in an absolute emergency do we ship via tugboat and barge. STAR CASE uses several
carriers on an international basis. More often than not your cases will be within
the size and weight limitations enforced by the most popular parcel services allowing very
prompt delivery. |
|
| Common Carrier truck lines are our second option for shipping your case(s) to your destination. Only when an item exceeds the limits of the parcel services or the total number of units makes shipping the cases via parcel service impractical, do we use Common Carrier truck transport. STAR CASE uses major common carriers on a national basis for most surface truck shipments. These carriers provide perhaps the broadest coverage of service throughout the United States and have dispatch and consolidation centers in nearly every major metropolitan area. |
Prior to shipment from STAR CASE we wrap each Star Case product individually with high
strength sheet corrugated material to avoid damage or marring in transit. The following material deals with how to determine the most common parcel sizing and weight limitations per package. Air Freight is an expensive proposition that should be used only if there's an emergency. If you have any questions regarding specific air freight rates please contact an air freight forwarder in your local area. |
| PARCEL WEIGHT & SIZE LIMITATIONS | |
