Peak-season shipping checklist
Confirm warehouse appointments, capacity, and cargo details in advance.
Updated:
Before you begin
For peak-season shipments, confirm when the freight will be ready, warehouse shipping and receiving hours, and appointment reference numbers. Submit complete dimensions, weight, and accessorial requirements early. Separate firm delivery deadlines from flexible receiving windows, compare options, and allow time for appointments and transfers. Keep the warehouse, recipient, and freight specialist informed of changes. Freight that is not ready, an unreachable contact, or an incorrect appointment can cause waiting and repeat handling. This guide helps you prepare; it does not provide live rates or forecast available capacity.
If you need help
Provide your order or BOL reference, original shipment requirements, and relevant photos. Tell your freight specialist what you need help with. Estimated timing and service scope depend on the confirmed shipment terms. This guide does not guarantee delivery times or claim payments.
