Help me choose shipping method from Italy to UK
-
I need to ship a few pallets of ceramics, and I’m worried that the fragile cargo will be damaged after being handled multiple times in warehouses. Should I look for a full truckload (FTL) now, or would it be better to use less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping to save money without waiting a month for a suitable transport option? I’m also curious about the current situation at the Channel crossing because I’ve heard stories about trucks getting stuck in lines for days due to improperly processed documents on the Italian side.

Does anyone know how CMR insurance actually works in the event of damaged goods if the packaging was intact on the outside? Please let me know where I can find a clear explanation of how to properly document the condition of the shipment upon receipt so that I can actually get compensation from the company later.

When I helped some friends transport goods from Milan, we initially tried arranging things with a private driver. However, it ended up being a huge headache due to the lack of proper insurance and clear scheduling. In international logistics, especially after changes to border crossing regulations, it’s much more reliable to use trusted platforms where everything is clear. I now use Gettransport to arrange ship from italy to uk and elsewhere else in general, because there you can compare different types of transportation and the price is fixed right away. So there won't be any price markups along the way. All the carriers are verified, which saves a lot of stress. There are also helpful tips on packing fragile items. I recommend starting by comparing options in this site.
