Shipping generally means transporting your goods (or 'shipment') from one place to the other.\n\nThere are 3 methods:\n1. Land shipping: By local or overseas courier.\n2. Air Shipping: By overseas courier, or freight shipping.\n3. Sea Shipping: By sea shipping couriers, or any logistics providers.\n\nShipping can be a combination of any of the 3.\n\nLand shipping is technically the easiest, you can have local or overseas courier.\nCourier services are fairly simple to understand, you basically just need to submit in your details on the shipping company's courier form, and they will handle the rest. In some overseas cases, it is neccessary to include a packing list and proforma/commercial invoice.\n\nAir shipping is fairly easy as well, when all you need is your packing details and your commercial invoice and packing list.\nIt is important to mark your package as well so that the courier personnel know that it is your package.\n\nSea shipping involves more documents, but is cheaper than air shipping by a good margin.\nBesides the normal shipping documents, sea shipping involves one more document called the Bill of Lading, or B/L for short. The bill of Lading is a legally recognized document stating that you have the authority to load and unload your cargo. \nYou need 3 copies of your packing list, commercial invoice, Bill of Lading (Keep 1 copy of the original), packing details, Delivery Order in order to load your cargo. To unload, you need the same as well as calculating the GST on your commercial invoice.\n\nCertain ports also require ID certification in order to collect the cargo, so keep note of that.\n\nIn Shipping,  your documentation is very important. Always keep track of what you are shipping, how heavy it is, the dimensions of the cargo, how many items of cargo, the cost of the cargo, etc. Most people under-declare their cost of items in order to save money on the GST when unloading the cargo. \n\nAlso, keep in mind that you should always purchase insurance in sea shipping. Most companies will already have an import export clause (most common is the import clause) already in use, so you basically just need to keep in  touch with your accounts department to handle the insurance details.\n\nHope this was useful.

I would say that it means transporting something from one place to another without permission, or possibly without legal authority to do so.  Like smuggling.

They pay the postage, so all your profits are within the item sale price. There's no possible way, unless you're sending large heavy items, such as job lots, or dishwashers etc. This way a courier can be cheaper. But from around 50p to send a parcel from one end of the country to the other it's cheap!\n\nAlternatively, if in a local area you can deliver yourself. I've had a few people pick items up, or I've dropped them round on route, but I give free postage for this.

**************************************************************\nThe International Chamber of Commerce created Incoterms as a worldwide standard to be used in contracts of sale for expressing the rights and obligations of buyers and sellers – specifically, regarding the delivery of the goods. The list is in order of seller's obligation, from least to most. Some Incoterms are valid for any mode of transport (EXW, FCA, CPT, CIP, DDU, DDP), some for ocean only (FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, DEQ).\n\nFCA – Free carrier\nThe seller delivers the goods, cleared for export, to the carrier selected by the buyer. The seller loads the goods if the carrier pickup is at the seller's premises. From that point, the buyer bears the costs and risks of moving the goods to destination.\n\nCPT – Carriage paid toý\nThe seller pays for moving the goods to destination. From the time the goods are transferred to the first carrier, the buyer bears the risks of loss or damage.\n\nDDU – Delivered duty unpaid\nThe seller delivers the goods - not cleared for import - to the buyer at destination. The seller bears all costs and risks of moving the goods to destination.\n\nEXW, FCA, FAS, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAF, DES, DEQ, DDU, & DDP. Incoterms are the official rules for the worldwide interpretation of trade terms developed under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France. Incoterms are recognized by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law as the global standard for such interpretation.\n\nFound this in a search. Hope it helps.\n\n***********************************************************

We have not been 'shipping' our jobs overseas.\n\nWe transitioned from a manufacturing economy almost thirty years ago into an information or tech based economy, which does not mean we don't manufacture anything. It means we do not make the widgets or components that are necessary for building a car. We develop or manufacture the DESIGN for automobiles (or any product) that can be produced with fewer people, at a lower cost, and will be more efficient in terms of the number of miles the vehicle will operate without need for servicing its components.\n\nOur economy is still in a transitional phase. We are starting to MANUFACTURE some of our own widgets/components  in the US again because it is more cost effective to produce the product here than to manage the political difficulties that have become costly in unstable countries.\n\nIt is still a learning process for all of us.

All freight is placed in class prior to movement (used mostly in LTL, less than truckload, freight) based on the type of freight used. Freight class 60 would be non-hazmat, hard freight. Some items that would fit in this class would be metal machinery or car parts. \n\nBy using a class rating it tells the shipper what is on the dock when thay are pricing the move and gives the driver what he/she should expect prior to pick up.\n\nHope this helps.

c=cost (for documents, export permission, ...)\nf= freight\n(other shortcuts could be insurance asf.)\n\nProbably it's meant that the price of the goods offered would be 5% higher if cost&freight were included.

Rent a U-Haul truck and move it yourself.  You will save yourself a LOT of money doing it that way and you can tow your car behind then.  I have moved across country doing that and believe me, it is WAY cheaper than hiring a mover.  But, if you want insurance on your items then hire a mover to do it for you.  That way you are insured for everything that is being moved in the event that something gets broken.  Its totally up to you.
