Why Set Sail with Speed Trust?

Ocean logistics can be complex due to port congestion and weather variables. At Speed Trust, we utilize advanced route-planning and partnerships with major shipping lines to ensure your cargo moves on the most reliable schedules at the most competitive rates.

 Understanding the Ocean Process

To help your clients understand how their goods move across the water, here is the typical flow:

Consolidation: Your goods are packed and secured into containers at our warehouse or your facility.

Port Handling: We manage the transit to the terminal and clear export customs.

Transit: Your cargo moves via a mother vessel across international waters.

De-consolidation: Upon arrival, we handle import clearance and unload the goods.

Final Mile: Our road fleet delivers the shipment to its final destination.

Can I ship to a PO Box?

No. According to our terms, shipments cannot be delivered to PO boxes or postal codes without a physical street address. Deliveries are made to the Receiver’s address provided but not necessarily to a named individual personally.

 

If a delivery is refused or the receiver cannot be located, we will make reasonable efforts to return the shipment to you (the Shipper) at your expense. If a return is not possible, the shipment may be released or disposed of as per our policy.

Yes. To ensure safety and compliance with regulations, Speed Trust Logistics reserves the right to open and inspect any shipment without prior notice.

We cannot transport hazardous materials, illegal narcotics, firearms, or currency. Prohibited items also include:

  •  human remains.

  • Bullion, precious metals, and stones.

  • Pornography or illegal drugs.

  • Any item we decide cannot be transported safely or legally.

Charges are based on the higher of the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Please note that we may re-weigh or re-measure any shipment to confirm the final calculation.

Our liability is strictly limited to direct loss only. For air transport, liability is limited to USD $20.00/kg (or $9.07/lb), and for road transport, it is USD $10.00/kg (or $4.54/lb), with a minimum of USD $100 per shipment. We do not cover loss of profits or indirect damages.

No, transit insurance is not automatically included. If our standard liability limits are insufficient for your cargo, you must arrange your own insurance or request it from us in writing prior to dispatch for an extra cost.

All claims must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days from the date we accepted the shipment. Failure to do so releases Speed Trust Logistics from all liability.

  • Before the flight: You can receive a full refund, minus administration and return fees.

  • After the flight: Once a shipment has flown or is in transit via air, refunds are no longer available.

Speed Trust Logistics may pay duties or taxes on your behalf to expedite clearance. However, the Shipper is ultimately responsible for reimbursing these costs, along with any fines or storage expenses incurred.

Yes! Unlike many standard couriers, Speed Trust Logistics offers specialized Pet Transport. Because family deserves the safest seat, we use climate-controlled vehicles and professional handlers. Please refer to our Pet Transport page for specific health and crate requirements.
