How to Obtain a Shipping Quote from BETTERluck Shipping

# How to Obtain a Shipping Quote from BETTERluck Shipping   At BETTERluck Shipping, we understand that getting a precise shipping quote is crucial for your business or personal needs. Whether you're shipping from Guangzhou to Romania or any other global destination, our streamlined process ensures you receive accurate and competitive quotes. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get a quote for your shipment with us:   ## 1. Gather Essential Shipment Details   ### Package Dimensions and Weight   Measure the length, width, and height of each package in centimeters or inches. For multiple packages, record the dimensions of each unit. Use a reliable weighing scale to determine the weight of your items, including any packaging materials. Precise weight and dimensions help us accurately calculate space requirements and shipping costs, especially important for sea freight (LCL/FCL) and air cargo.   ### Pickup and Delivery Addresses   Provide the complete and exact addresses for both pickup and delivery. Include street names, building numbers, postal codes, and city names. For international shipments, specify the country clearly. If the pickup location is a factory, wholesale market, or hotel in Guangzhou, be sure to provide detailed location information to enable smooth cargo collection. For delivery in Romania, ensure the address is accurate to avoid any delivery delays or additional charges.   ### Product Description and Value   Describe the items you're shipping in detail. Mention the product type, brand, and any special characteristics. For example, if it's electronics, specify the make and model. If the goods are fragile or require special handling, let us know. Additionally, state the value of the shipment. This information is essential for insurance purposes and customs clearance, especially when shipping to Romania, as customs duties may be calculated based on the declared value.   ## 2. Select Your Shipping Method   ### Air Freight   Ideal for urgent shipments or lightweight, high - value items. Air cargo offers faster transit times, with flights from Guangzhou (Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport), Shenzhen (Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport), or Hong Kong (Hong Kong International Airport) to Romanian airports like Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP, Bucharest). Transit times vary but are generally much quicker compared to sea freight, usually within 2 - 5 days, depending on connections.   ### Sea Freight   If you have larger, heavier shipments, sea freight is a cost - effective option. We offer both Less - Than - Container - Load (LCL) for smaller volume cargo and Full - Container - Load (FCL) for larger shipments. Cargo from Guangzhou or Shenzhen ports is shipped to the Port of Constanța in Romania via Mediterranean transshipment hubs. Transit times for sea freight typically range from 30 - 38 days, considering the journey to the transshipment hub and then to the final destination.   ### Railway and Land Transport   For certain types of cargo, especially those suitable for over - land transportation, railway and land transport can be viable options. We can arrange shipments via China - Europe Railway Express routes, which connect China to various parts of Europe, including Romania. Transit times for railway transport are generally around 15 - 25 days, depending on the route and destination in Romania.   ## 3.

Understanding the Quote   ### Cost Breakdown   Our quotes come with a detailed cost breakdown. For sea freight, you'll see separate charges for the ocean freight (the cost of transporting the container), terminal handling charges at the origin and destination ports, documentation fees, and any additional services like container loading in our Guangzhou warehouse. For air freight, the quote includes the air cargo charges, airport handling fees, and customs clearance fees. Understanding this breakdown helps you see exactly what you're paying for and compare our rates with other freight forwarders.   ### Additional Charges   Be aware of potential additional charges. If your shipment requires special handling, such as for fragile items or oversized cargo, there may be extra fees. For deliveries to certain remote areas in Romania or if you need services like lift - gate delivery or inside - delivery, additional charges will apply. However, we always strive to be transparent and will clearly communicate any such charges in the quote.   ## 5. Comparing Quotes and Making a Decision   We encourage you to compare our quotes with other freight forwarders. However, keep in mind that while cost is an important factor, it shouldn't be the only consideration. At BETTERluck Shipping, we offer not only competitive prices but also reliable services. We have a long - standing reputation since 2007, with a track record of on - time deliveries, proper cargo handling, and excellent customer service. We are also insured by Ping An Insurance, providing you with peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during transit.   Once you've compared quotes and decided that BETTERluck Shipping is the right choice for your shipment, our team will guide you through the next steps, whether it's booking the shipment, arranging for pickup from your factory, wholesale market, or other location in Guangzhou, and ensuring a smooth delivery to your destination in Romania.
