The best way to avoid delays is to provide us with accurate shipping information at the very beginning so we can plan ahead.
  • Make sure that your transport provider has all the pertinent details about your shipment (full dimensions, contact people, etc.)
  • Give accurate payment information and addresses to all relevant parties to prevent shipping delays resulting from lack of payment
