Door-to-door cargo is intended to make the handover simpler: collection is arranged from an agreed location and delivery is made to the recipient’s address, where the destination and cargo are suitable for that service.
What door to door means
The phrase describes the planned collection and delivery points. It does not by itself confirm that customs charges, insurance, packing, storage or every destination formality is included. The written quotation should identify the collection area, delivery destination and the services included.
Before an option can be confirmed
Provide the collection postcode, full destination city or district, number of items, approximate weight and dimensions, and an accurate contents description. The team will then discuss availability for the route.
- Keep recipient details accurate and complete.
- Pack items to withstand normal cargo handling.
- Declare the contents accurately; never use a vague or misleading description.
- Check restricted goods before bringing or handing over cargo.
- Ask who is responsible for customs duties, taxes and destination fees.
Timing and collection
A preferred collection date is a request, not a guarantee. An estimated timeframe will be discussed with the quotation and may change because of flights, security checks, customs, weather or local delivery conditions.
