BEFORE SHIPPING
What to know before shipping auto parts overseas
When booking a car parts courier service to send bonnets, doors, and other auto parts internationally, follow these tips to ensure a smooth delivery:
- Check the dimensions and weight of the shipment in the size tool to determine the best service for you.
- Ensure that all components, such as engines or radiators, are properly drained of any liquids before shipping. Items that contain liquids are prohibited from shipping.
- Familiarise yourself with the customs procedures and regulations of the destination country. This includes understanding any necessary shipping documentation, permits, or restrictions that may apply to the specific car parts you are sending.
- If you need to transport large and heavy auto parts that do not fit on a pallet, consider booking a dedicated van or ask for a custom offer. Inform us during the booking process if you need tail lifts or other assistance for the collection or delivery.
