FreightCenter can help you with these and any other electronics shipping jobs you have. Most of these items are small and can be shipped as parcels when shipped in small quantities. Shipping electronics in large amounts, such as a wholesale order, is usually done via LTL (less-than-truckload) freight, as is shipping of electronics items that are too large or heavy for parcel shipping.
How Do You Prepare an Electronics Load for Ltl Freight Shipping?
You save money with LTL (less-than-truckload) shipping because your shipment shares the truck with loads from other shippers. Your cargo must be packaged so it will not be damaged in transit and will not present a danger to other shipments on the truck—package large quantities of small electronics items in crates or bulk boxes. Bulk boxes are designed to fit on pallets. The walls of the packs can be double or even triple wall thick, often made of corrugated cardboard. Bulk boxes have removable tops and are best used for the smaller parts traveling with the shipment. More oversized electronic items should be packaged securely in crates for the highest level of protection. If using a container is impractical or too expensive, protect the item with paper, foam, and bubble packaging and box it in cardboard. Shrink wrap the box and strap it to a pallet. Ensure the package does not extend beyond the edges of the box at any point.
What Is the Nmfc (Freight Class) for Shipping Electronics?
The freight class for shipping electronics varies depending on the items being shipped. If you don’t know the freight class of the item(s) you’re sending, our in-house LTL shipping experts can determine it. You’ll find the freight class of some electronic items on our Freight Class Lookup table.
