Non-expedited deliveries & EB/PE - SUPlVBPMa - 12-05-2020
I was wondering if, since there might be changes between big and local carriers through the course of an international non-expedited delivery, there could be solid grounds for EB/PE methods if the local carriers don't keep track of package weights (at least not in their tracking service, I might be naïve to assume that they don't actually track it, but it wouldn't surprise me much if they didn't).

For cost of freight and record keeping, weights & dimensions are taken of every box, package, pallet, skid etc. Some carriers also take photos of every angle when boxes/packages are placed on their conveyor belt and If there's signs of tampering, a damage report Is raised, thus releasing them from liability. The entire process Is automated- with every detail logged Into their systems prior to dispatch.
