Licensing and Certifications
Be sure that the shipping company you’ve chosen has the proper certifications to do business. Ask
the company about their credentials and take a look at all relevant documents before signing any
contracts. You may also want to get some recommendations from colleagues and other business
owners in your industry. This will give you an accurate idea of which companies can do the job for
you in the most affordable and efficient manner. It’s also important to make sure that the company
you’ve chosen is properly insured. You need to be covered if something happens to your inventory
that is beyond your control. When you hear about the past experiences of other business owners, it
will likely be easier to make a decision about the shipping company that is right for you.
