Assist the shipper or receiver to prepare a written claim. Determine the required transport services, when they will be needed, and any special requirements such as rigging, weekend delivery, inside pickup or delivery, and additional manpower. Make an official shipment services request. Post Office box numbers are not allowed. Shipping point personnel must prepare the shipment for transport in a manner acceptable to the commercial carrier and to the consignee.
Excellent packaging is required.
Recycled packing and packaging materials are recommended. Coordinate the shipment pickup schedule with the carrier. The carrier's local or toll free phone number will be on the GBL for the shipper. Remember to arrange for manpower for inside deliveries or pickups. You may download the VA Form 134, Combination Requisition and Shipping Ticket, in Microsoft Excel97 format or Adobe Acrobat format .
