Advantages of The Door-to-Door Delivery Service
Like the last-mile delivery service, this service also has many advantages. From the previous definition of the door-to-door delivery service, we can conclude that there are several advantages. Namely :
1. Faster Process
First, using a door-to-door delivery service speeds up importing and exporting goods.
The reason is the service user has paid for all the existing processes. Hence, they have entrusted all the shipping matters to the courier service.
2. Processing of The Customs Matters
So they will get a notification if there is a problem. For example, if your shipment gets hit by a red line because of restricted goods in Indonesia.
Or there are documents that you have not fulfilled, such as SNI, SDPPI, Phytosanitary, certificate of origin, etc. Then they will take care of releasing the goods by customs.
3. Lower Cost
Third, the import cost can be lower as the tax paid is equal to the value of the imported goods. It can reduce not only the taxes but also the transportation cost by using a door-to-door delivery service.
Before dealing, both parties have discussed the cost. Calculations such as logistics costs, delivery order costs, and storage/stacking costs, and lorry charges for the distribution process.
Process of Door-to-Door Service in Logistics Shipping
Broadly, the process of door-to-door service is as follows:
1. Service Order
First, the shipper contacts the door-to-door delivery service to order the service. First, the shipper of the goods must provide the details of the goods to be shipped.
Also, the service will ask which way you want to go. Whether by air or by water. Then the service will check and calculate the total cost.
2. Pick Up The Goods
After both parties agree, the service will transport the goods immediately. Your goods will be assembled as needed and later packed into the container.
Then the container with the goods is ready to be transported to the ship or airplane.
3. Shipping
Then the goods are ready for shipment via pre-approved transportation routes. Do not forget to take care of important shipping documents, such as the prior bill of lading.
In this process, the sender receives a delivery receipt from door-to-door delivery.
4. Customs Clearance
Upon arrival in the destination country, customs will inspect all the goods. The inspection will take longer if your goods are on the list of prohibited and restricted goods in Indonesia.
Therefore, clearing all documents and payment of taxes will be done by the service.
5. Goods Delivery
Then, the courier will immediately deliver all goods to the destination. There, the recipient will sign the receipt of the goods as proof of receipt of the goods.
