How do I confirm PairGears' freight forwarder for the Heyuan-to-port leg?

Confirm who is responsible for the local leg

Start with the purchase order and booking arrangement. Ask whether the nominated forwarder is arranged by PairGears, the buyer or the ocean carrier, and identify the company actually organizing pickup. If the buyer nominates a forwarder, obtain PairGears' collection instructions and readiness confirmation.

Do not assume that a sample courier is also the contracted port-haulage provider. PairGears' delivery-services information distinguishes sample express services from bulk ocean shipments.

Send one consistent pickup instruction

• Origin: confirmed loading address, site contact, pickup window and available loading equipment.
• Cargo: package count, packing marks, gross weight and dimensions from the agreed packing list.
• Handover: booking reference, receiving terminal or consolidation warehouse, and receipt requirements.
• Deadlines: the booking's cargo, documentation and applicable weight-submission cutoffs.
• Charges: agreed payer and approval route for waiting, rebooking or extra handling.

For container shipments, confirm who supplies verified gross mass data and the relevant deadline. Requirements depend on the carrier and booking.

Example: resolve the destination before the truck leaves

Suppose a booking calls for delivery to a consolidation warehouse, while the pickup instruction lists a container terminal. Ask the booking owner to reconcile the address and reference before collection. This is an illustrative coordination issue, not an incident reported by PairGears.

After pickup, request the collection or delivery receipt and check the package count against the packing list. Keep the contact details and booking revision together so a route change reaches the factory, forwarder and buyer. Use the PairGears contact page to confirm the current shipment contact.
