An additional guarantee of cargo delivery safe and sound – insurance. The cost of the goods to be insured upon shipment is determined by the sender. The shipping company only assumes the obligation to deliver it to its destination according to the agreed time frame without causing damage.

It will correspond to all settlements located along the route of the goods to the final point, which are declared by the senders. This method allows you to significantly reduce shipping costs, while being fast and safe. The shipping company will choose the best mode of transport for sending groupage cargo by this route.
