So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Simplifying International Shipping Cremains For All

By Raymond Snyder


International shippers handle complex operations in a larger area. International shipping cremains preparation, labeling and packing requirements are designed to handle units as efficiently as possible. This allows the processing of millions of orders everyday and helps them provide the best experience to customers.

Before items are shipped internationally, it's essential to ensure that those items are well packaged and made presentable for them to be received in time. Items that do not conform to standard requirements and properly cared for before sending is going cause delays, cause problems in the inventory and may be incorrectly received, damaged or lost. When shipments arrive at a company's premises, normally, there is a designated person to scan the shipping label and ensure its ID matches with what is already in the system at that center.

Different items must not be bound or taped together. To avoid confusion, your shipping items shouldn't have different scannable barcode from the one on the shipping label. Packages that don't match the set size requirements may have to be handled differently and often delays the receiving process.

The next step so far as the inbound process is concerned is opening the box containing items. The shipping label of the box should be well placed so that it is not destroyed while in transit, become unreadable or get destroyed at destination by the one who will try to open it.

Ensure shipping label is placed on an area of the package that is flat for it to be scannable during the entire inbound process. If it is packed well and even the label is placed in a way that makes reading or scanning difficult it delays the receipt of the package. The appropriate packing dunnage or packing material to use are air pillows, full sheets of paper, or foams. It is advisable not to use loose packing materials for shipments.

International shippers also verify that bar codes on standalone units in the shipping boxes are scannable. Each unit should have just one scannable barcode. If a unit does not have a scannable barcode or has multiple scannable barcodes, it will be sideline for proper identification.

Case-packed units should only have barcodes on the individual packages and not on the outer carton. Barcodes on the packaging box might lead to different packages being received as one package. Units are mostly evaluated to see if they need additional preparation to ensure that they would not become damaged during storage and shipment. If preparation is required, but was not performed prior to being received at the shipping center, the units are put aside for special handling. Also, items should not have any loose packaging.

Items that require additional preparation when they arrive at the warehouse get delayed before they are placed into inventory. Based on the number of items that need preparation, the delay can be two(2) to three(3) days. Units that don't need extra preparation are marked received. At the time the items are being received, someone carries out complete check of every unit to make sure that that unit is not destroyed. Please make sure every single unit is properly packaged to avoid any damages in transit. Title checks are also done. Always do well to follow the tips above to make any shipment simpler.
