Limitations on goods accepted as Small Parcels

No hazardous goods such as firearms, knives or other weapons, drugs, explosives, compressed gas, flammable liquids or corrosives will be accepted for Small Parcels traffic. Please contact the UK Cargo Agents MacAndrews & Co Ltd to arrange shipment of such goods. 

All goods should be packed suitably for sea transport in robust boxes with protection for fragile items. As far as possible fragile items will be packed on top of others to avoid crush damage but this cannot be guaranteed, especially for heavy items. Goods such as car parts must be clean or wrapped in cardboard or plastic to avoid contaminating other cargo. In particular oil-filled items such as engines or gearboxes should be packed in oil-tight boxes to avoid leakage onto other goods. We reserve the right to refuse goods unsuitably packed. The volume of the goods will be calculated on the overall length, width and height so irregularly shaped items should be packed with other goods where possible to minimise lost space. Goods will be measured on arrival at Portland and charges calculated from those measurements.

To comply with Health & Safety Manual Lifting requirements, boxes should be less than 20kg in weight for single person lift and less than 40kg in weight for 2 person lift. Boxes over 40kg in weight will be moved by forklift at extra cost.

Payment

Payment can be made by UK bank cheque with Guarantee card or in cash. Credit or debit cards are not accepted. Goods will only be shipped when all charges are paid.
