Flow of transport

Propose forwarding plan (overall plan)

First, we will offer the most suitable forwarding plan.
The first thing we do is book flights and space.
We also make detailed arrangements suiting the pieces of art to meet shipping requirements to the maximum. For example, "Can they be stacked?" or "In what direction should they be loaded?"

Advance preparations (detailed plan)

After the forwarding plan is decided, we make advance preparations.
We will avoid congested hours and places for delivering the shipments in and out of the warehouse, shorten the flow of movement to the maximum to achieve the shortest route and time.
Expertly-trained frontline staff will confirm and hold briefings on these detailed check items, and conduct a simulation on the day of handling.

Arrange transportation

If actual cargo dimensions are different from the plan, we will ask the curator 's requests, and make arrangements to build up shipments properly.
We will flexibly meet the customer's request for cargo storage in case the flight is cancelled.
