Who this is for

Logistics buyers and supply chain managers who have a shipment that will not survive a freight terminal — high value, ESD-sensitive, temperature-controlled, or simply too late for standard air freight.

What you'll take away

  • The two limits that decide everything — 200 kg and a 180 cm sum of dimensions — and how to work out in thirty seconds whether your shipment qualifies.
  • A four-step sequence that tells you exactly who is doing what between your call and the signed delivery.
  • An honest section on when not to use OBC, so you can push back if a provider is upselling you.
