The international logistics services team is expected, mostly as ethics, to ensure they check their inventory before international delivery is initiated. Damaged goods adversely affect transportation costs and also affect their partnerships with third party logistics. It’s needless to say that item that comes through international shipping need to be examined stringently by the logistics distribution team especially while unloading from vehicles. However, not just international shipping but domestic deliveries too, have their fair share in dishing out damaged goods.
Fortunately we have figured out a few steps to identify faulty deliveries:
1. Leaking containers: This is one of the few easily identifiable faults while receiving inventory. If ignored, consumers are affected and might harm the company’s goodwill. And sometimes could prove to be disastrous.
2. Inflated packages: Such damages are usually seen in carton packages containing food/liquid commodities. The international parcel delivery services usually dispose-off these items unless they have a clause with the vendor which allows them to return the goods back.
3. Dents on the package: Electronic items through express delivery are prone to damages which are easily visible even on the outside of the package. While some such wrecks can be repaired, it is sometimes sent back through the international parcel delivery services with the expectation of some monetary compensation.
4. Foul smell: Some international parcel delivery services have exceptional packaging systems in place. However, a slight oversight could cause foods to rot, and what is left is an unpleasant smell, customers and expenses!
5. Examining the product information on the package: Some goods carry details on the package which sometimes include the products’ shelf life. Often, at times, when the international delivery transit takes longer than expected, it helps because the goods are in the fulfillment warehouse.
There can never be a complete guarantee to deliver undamaged goods, although that is what is most expected. Careful packaging and reliable trucking services soften the blow and reduce the risk that the logistics distribution service has to bear.
