Delivery Standard is an estimate of the time required for package transit, regular scan inspection, customs clearance and delivery of the package . The delivery standards for our services are:
by airmail: up to 7 days Romania; up to 10 days in other European countries;
by sea: 4 weeks (Romania), 4-5 weeks (Hungary, Bulgaria, Moldova, other European countries).
Delivery standards are calculated from the date the ship leaves the port (for sea transport) or the parcel is dropped off at the airport (for air transport).
NOTE: These standards are adhered to and are GUARANTEED. Exceptions may occur in transit, due to various NATURAL, unexpected/unforeseen changes in the calculation of delivery standards. The causes of these changes can be: bad weather, technical difficulties, strikes, detailed physical inspections by state authorities in the country of departure, during transit or at destination (these inspections take longer than inspections which are performed by a scan, at airdrop -off, and have been taken into account when calculating the delivery standards), etc. These exceptions are completely unintentional and cannot be foreseen or predicted.
You can send as many packages as you want to Romania or another destination as long as each package meets the following criteria:
1. 30 kg – maximum weight for each package; 30 kg – maximum weight on each package; we also accept heavier packages ONLY by sea to Romania and Hungary, but they will be increased from 30 kg.
2. package size – the goods in the package should be packed as compact as possible, as dense as possible, without gaps or gaps in the box;
3. Use cartons or packaging suitable for the size of the goods to be shipped;
4. Do not leave empty spaces in the box, because you will even pay for the air that fills the box. If the box is not full, its sides will tear and bend, crushing the contents
We accept packages exceeding the maximum weight or size only for Romania by sea and Hungary. They will be considered oversized or volumetric and will be charged according to oversized package regulations.
There is no limit to the number of packages. You can ship as many packages as you want without paying extra for oversize or volumetric shipping if you follow the 4 simple rules mentioned above. What is an oversized package? Packages or goods whose weight exceeds 30 kg or whose size (length + width + height in cm) is greater than 170 cm (eg 60 x 60 x 50 cm). A separate fee will be charged separately for processing. In accordance with the labor and safety code, additional staff is required to handle heavy or large packages.
We recommend using cardboard boxes – any type of strong cardboard boxes – regardless of whether they were originally used to transport other types of products or contain printed information. Boxes used for paper towels or napkins can only hold the weight of these products and therefore we advise against using them as they can break very easily if the goods you are shipping are heavy. Also be careful when buying boxes from specialty stores such as Home Depot, U-Haul, or Lowes; make sure they are solid. We do not impose any kind of standard boxes; you can use boxes of any size as long as you follow the 4 rules mentioned above. The boxes should match the size of the goods that will fill them. Their content should be properly padded and organized. Tape the sides and corners of the box liberally (we recommend clear or brown tape; gray tape is NOT recommended as it peels easily). You can also wrap the parcels in plastic film for extra security, or if you wish, you can tie them with a rope to ensure thatuthey are even better secured during transport.
The following services are chargeable:
Wrapping, sticking with scotch box by company employees – $15/box;
Box or suitcase packaging by company employees: $20/box;
Adjustment, cut, brazing box if too much empty space: $15/box;
Adhesive tape: $2/box
Place a label on the package with the following information: surnames, first names, addresses and telephone numbers of the sender and recipient (one visible label is sufficient).
You can also use plastic boxes or suitcases. Plastic boxes must be wrapped in plastic film. Make sure the volumetric weight is correct. You can use this formula to calculate it: length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 6000 = volumetric weight (kg). Shipping costs are calculated based on the higher result of actual weight and volumetric weight. Suitcases must be properly wrapped in plastic film. Make sure the label won’t come off during shipping and that you affix a label the size of a sheet of paper to each side of the suitcase. Be careful with suitcases with a textile outer shell; the adhesive tape comes off easily.
All goods shipped by sea or air must be properly packaged. Goods cannot be shipped in bulk and must be properly identified with a label containing shipper and consignee addresses. For irregularly sized goods, please contact us for advice on how to pack them. Example: Rugs should be rolled, folded, and packed in large, dark-colored garbage bags. Skis must be packed in dark colored garbage bags. Bikes can be packed in cardboard boxes that you can buy or get from specialty bike stores. Children’s mountain bikes must be placed in wooden boxes.
Your package must be closed, sealed and bear the identification label containing the information of the sender and the recipient. This is very important as it allows us to speed up the process of posting parcels and preparing the bill of lading, and to respect the waiting time of our other customers.
We can provide free boxes at any time in our offices, during our opening hours.
Please prepare and pack your package at home before dropping it off. This way we can all respect your wait time and speed up processing times for our other customers dropping off packages. Your parcels must be closed, sealed and labelled. We do not recommend that you prepare your packages or bulk goods in our offices.
We accept: cash, personal checks payable to our company (WordLineCargo Inc.), debit cards, credit cards (Visa or Mastercard). We NO charge a fee when you pay with a credit or debit card. You pay the shipping and we pay the fees!
