So. You've got a shipment crossing borders. You’re feeling good—trucking schedules are lined up, your cargo is packed, your coffee’s still warm. And then… Customs. Bureaucracy. Documents. Delays.

Let’s say you’ve got a big job ahead of you. And by big, I mean really big. Like industrial generator, wind turbine blade, mining drill, or a tank (yes, actual tank) big. Suddenly, this isn’t your average “get it on a truck and go” situation.

No one really wants to talk about packaging. It’s one of those things you only think about when it goes wrong. Like when half your shipment shows up looking like it got into a bar fight, or when the boxes are twice as big as they need to be (but hey, at least the bubble wrap had a nice ride).

Cargo gets damaged. Even if you're careful. Even if your supplier says it's “packed to spec.” Even if the shipping line swears everything is “within limits.” You open a container after a two-week sea journey and… surprise. Crushed boxes. Soaked cartons. Bent metal. Melted chocolate (true story, still painful). So yeah — damage happens. But most of it? Preventable. That’s the good news. Let’s talk about how.
