Start with the assortment
A container enquiry begins with a list of the products you need and your requested quantities. If you are considering a mixed-product shipment, identify the proposed combination early. Each product’s availability and packing information will need to be confirmed before the loading plan can be assessed.
Packing matters as much as quantity
The number of saleable items alone does not describe a shipment. Carton dimensions, gross weight, pallet arrangements and handling requirements can affect the plan. Ask the supplier and freight coordinator to work from confirmed packing details; avoid treating an indicative product list as a final loading specification.
Review the complete movement
Clarify the destination, shipping method and which services the quotation includes. Discuss collection, loading and delivery responsibilities, documentation and any special handling needs. Confirm freight costs and shipment timing for the actual order rather than relying on a previous shipment’s figures.
Keep the order subject to confirmation
An online cart is a convenient way to share your assortment. It is not a guarantee of a container’s capacity, product availability or final freight cost. At Sheza, a bulk order request provides the starting point for reviewing quantities, sourcing and shipping configurations before the commercial order is confirmed.
