With Houston being home to the Texas Medical Center, medical equipment is constantly being shipped into and out of the medical center.
When researching a company that can pick up, pack and ship your medical equipment , we have the following suggestions:
Choose a company that has been shipping and receiving medical equipment on a regular basis. Verify that the company is used to handling high value and delicate items. Ask if the company has the ability to build a custom box or a custom crate when needed. Does the company that you choose have the ability to ship the medical equipment, as a freight shipment in order to save money?
Check and see how long the current owners of the business have been handling freight shipping and receiving of medical equipment. Are you able to tour the facility where the medical equipment will be prepared for shipping?
Look for a company that has the know how to protect lenses, arms and feet of equipment that is being packed shipped and delivered. Remember that each piece of medical equipment will need to be handled differently.
Ask about valuation coverage for your piece or pieces of medical equipment.
Always be prepared to give the weight and dimensions of the equipment so that you can receive a quote for the shipping of your medical equipment. We suggest providing pictures of the medical equipment. Manuals can usually provide both the size and weight of the piece of equipment that you are shipping.
As with any hospital environment, set up the delivery time ahead of time with the hospital administration. The company picking up the medical equipment may need access to freight elevators as well as loading docks.
When shipping internationally, you may want to ask if the company you are using has the ability to ship to various countries throughout the world. We have compiled a list below of companies that we at n pack n send can ship to.
Some of the countries listed below are more costly to ship to than other countries. When shipping medical equipment internationally, ask about air shipping, cubic meter shipping and containerized shipments.
