Whatever you buy in Europe, make sure that you get a clearance from your supplier before paying. We are convinced that you are a good businessperson but small details can make a big difference in the price. Make sure you clarify as to who will pay for the transport to the port of departure.

 Some packages and boxes can be shipped in "group-shared containers" these are containers used by several customers together. At destination, the goods will be delivered individually to each customer. It is a safe way to ship your goods.   

  Our special trucks will come on the day and at the hour you like to the place of loading. At the time of making your reservation, please, make sure that the goods are ready to be loaded. 

 First Shipping always tries to be on board of the ship at the time of loading. We take care that the loading is done properly and safely.  

 When a ship leaves the port of departure, the captain will contact the agents at destination to report about the voyage. Therefore, please contact the agent at destination to get the latest updates. We advise you to be at the port the moment the ship arrives. Clear your goods as soon as possible and get your goods out of the port as soon as you can. This is to avoid parking charges, damage and/or theft. Ask our agents for free advice.  

FIRST Shipping will get you the best service at the best prices possible. All First Shipping offices have the same shipping prices for the same service. We work only with first class shipping lines and professional transporters. Please ask for our best quotation now.

Depending on the kind of goods and the way they will be shipped, make sure they are "seaward packed"; please ask for advice if you are not sure. 

 Bigger units or/and large quantities that cannot be shipped in containers can be shipped the "conventional way", please ask our staff for the best possible solution for you. 

Your package will be stored at one of the warehouses in the port. There is sufficient security at the port to ensure that nothing will go wrong.

Departure dates for conventional goods and packages are normally correct. A few days' difference is always possible.

In order to get your goods at destination, you need the original B/L (Bill of Loading). Only with this document, supplied by FIRST Shipping, will you be able to get your goods out of the port. We can send these shipping documents wherever you like. Please ask our agents for advice.

In case of any problems, first call FIRST for advice before acting. We will be pleased to help if we can. Whenever or whatever problem you may have at destination, our representative will be pleased to advice and/or help you wherever he can. If you face problems, first call First Shipping
