Winter Shipping Tips: Delivering Reliability Through the Cold

January 13, 2020 0Technology & Innovation in Logistics

As the winter season blankets much of the world in snow and ice, shipping takes on a new set of challenges. At Logixacross, we know how crucial it is for your packages to arrive on time and intact, no matter the weather. That’s why we’re sharing our top winter shipping tips to help you navigate the season with confidence.

Whether you’re sending personal gifts or critical business shipments, preparation is key. Here’s how to ensure your deliveries stay on track during the cold months.

Plan Ahead: Beat the Weather and Deadlines

Winter weather can be unpredictable, with snowstorms and icy conditions causing delays. To minimize the risk of late deliveries:

  • Ship Early: Build in extra time for transit. Shipping a few days earlier than usual can help avoid delays caused by weather-related disruptions.
  • Monitor Weather Reports: Stay updated on forecasted storms and adverse conditions along your shipment’s route. Adjust your timeline as needed to avoid potential bottlenecks.
Pack Like a Pro: Protect Your Shipments from the Cold

Frigid temperatures and wet conditions can take a toll on your packages. Proper packaging is essential to ensure your items arrive in perfect condition:

  • Use Insulated Packaging: For temperature-sensitive items like electronics or perishables, invest in thermal or insulated packaging to protect them from extreme cold.
  • Double the Wrapping: Use waterproof materials such as plastic bags or wrap to shield your items from moisture.
  • Cushion Generously: Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or foam inserts can provide added protection against rough handling.
Choose Reliable Shipping Services

Communicate Clearly with Recipients

If you’re sending gifts or business deliveries, keep the recipient in the loop:

  • Provide Tracking Information: Sharing tracking details allows them to plan accordingly for the arrival of their package.
  • Add Special Instructions: If there are delivery restrictions due to snow or limited access, make sure to communicate them to the carrier.
