Tackling Bulky Goods Shipping – Mike Williams

I don’t know about you but personally, I always struggle when it comes to shipping big items. I know so many of my clients have issues with things just as simple as decent sized light fixtures because the general points system or general queries can’t actually guarantee that they’re going to get there in one piece or even take them in the first place. I know here in Australia, Australia Post won’t do anything more than a meter. So that’s your three feet. So if you’ve got a really tall lampshade that doesn’t come down into pieces you’re kind of screwed when it comes to getting it to your customer. So I brought along Mike Williams from you ship to talk about how we can get those big pieces of inventory to our customers in a really quick way and in a way that they’re going to arrive safely.
