A handling unit is a physically handled unit such as a pallet, crate or separate carton. A contents count describes the pieces inside those units. A shipment can therefore contain three pallets and 60 cartons without either number being wrong.
Explore MoreReturning consignment goods by courier requires a prepared stock list, an authorised supplier return and a clear receiving handoff. WTM Logistics can transport the released packages from the selling location to the supplier or other agreed business destination.
Explore MoreGive every pallet a visible unit identity and connect all units to the same shipment reference. “Pallet 1 of 4” helps identify the physical set, while an order reference explains the commercial relationship. Use the carrier’s required labels as well as any internal identification.
Explore MoreEmpty equipment cases often need to return after the delivered equipment has been unpacked and put into use. WTM Logistics can collect prepared protective cases from the receiving site and transport them back to the equipment owner or another authorised destination.
Explore MoreA pallet provides a handling base; a crate adds an enclosure around goods. Either can be appropriate, but the choice depends on the product, its support needs and the planned handling. A crate is not automatically stackable, and placing goods on a pallet does not by itself secure or protect them.
Explore MoreSending an item for a repair estimate is a transport decision, not approval to carry out the repair. WTM Logistics can collect the prepared item and deliver it to the workshop so the repair business can assess it and provide its own quotation.
Explore MoreFreight consolidation can reduce the number of separate movements, but the saving should be measured after any additional handling, storage and waiting-related costs. A lower transport subtotal does not automatically make the combined plan the better operational decision.
Explore MoreAfter a sales tour, sample kits need a return plan just as much as they needed an outbound delivery. WTM Logistics can collect prepared product samples from the final authorised location and transport them back to your office, warehouse or next business receiver.
Explore MoreThe price break-even between LTL and dedicated freight is the shipment size at which their comparable quoted totals match. It only answers the cost question. Equipment fit, handling and the arrival requirement must also be satisfied.
