IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We will bring a rental container [size designated by the shipper in writing] to your residence or commercial loading dock for you to load. The sea container will remain on tractor wheels while the loading process is completed. The cost of the container rental will be provided the shipper in writing.

We offer three free loading hours at origin and two free unloading hours at destination unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Each additional hour of loading or unloading will cost $55. per hour.

It is possible to load a sea container over a period of several days. Loading over several days must be requested by the shipper in writing at time of reserving the container. It is the responsibility of the shipper to load their own container unless otherwise agreed to in writing.

Note, we make every effort to have the sea container brought to a loading residence on time. Because of unforeseen problems such as securing a container from the steamship terminal or vehicle breakdown, World Express Inc., cannot be held liable for any reason.

A check deposit of $1,000 must be provided to us to reserve a sea container. The deposit is non refundable if the container loading date is cancelled within two business days of the reserved loading time. The balance of the shipping charges must be paid no later than one day after loading otherwise a storage fee of $100 per day will be assessed and the shipment will be subject to customs and steamship line fines, where applicable.

At time of shipment arrival, it is the responsibility of the consignee or the shipper to accept and pay all charges as mentioned in this Terms and Conditions document. In the event either the shipper or consignee attempts to abandon the shipment after loading, substantial storage and customs penalties will apply.

Inventory list and or a commercial invoice or both when applicable, must be provided to us no later than one day after loading. This list must provide the name, address and telephone of the shipper and the name, address, telephone and email address [optional] of the consignee plus description and value of the items shipped. Failure to present World Express Inc.., with a proper inventory list as described herein, will cause delay, storage fees and customs and steamship fines where applicable.

If an individual is shipping, we must have their personal Social Security Number or Temporary Visa number or if the shipper is a corporation, we must have the corporate EIN number for US Export Customs purposes.

Insurance coverage is 3% of your inventory list with a $300 deductible. Reasonable care must be taken to insure the shipment will arrive at destination in good shape. All unpacked furniture should be blanket wrapped or reasonably wrapped in some manner.

Vehicles must be loaded at the rear [by the doors] of the sea container with the gas removed from the vehicle and the vehicle must be secured. The battery must be disconnected and secured. World Express Inc.., must be notified in writing at time of arranging a container reservation, if a vehicle or motor bike is to be loaded in the container.

No hazardous material or perishable items can be put into the sea container unless World Express Inc.., is notified in writing at time of arranging the container reservation.

Custom clearance at destination is the responsibility of the receiving client unless otherwise agreed to in writing. In the event World Express Inc. arranges custom clearance on behalf of the shipper or the consignee, it is the responsibility of the consignee to make all necessary documentation available to the designated custom broker so that custom clearance can be completed without delays, storage or customs penalties. In the event the consignee does not have their import documentation in order, any storage, customs penalties or steamship line storage charges must be paid by the consignee prior to delivery of the container.

Terminal fees (as described by the receiving steamship agent) at destination generally range between $300 and $450 depending on the size of the container. This must be paid by the consignee when requested by the receiving steamship agent unless other arrangements in writing have been made with World Express Inc.

Duties and Taxes if applicable are to be paid by the consignee at time of destination custom clearance release.
