Before sending the goods transport company, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances that may affect the process of its transportation. PEC specialists will help you solve your problem. We organize cargo transportation, carefully considering each stage.
Prepare the cargo for shipment
Before sending cargo, you must ensure that the shipment itself and its packaging comply with general transportation requirements. You can find information about all types of additional packaging on the website of the PEC transport company.
Select a delivery method
Before sending a parcel to a transport company, you must choose how the client will receive it at the destination. We issue goods at the branch or deliver to the recipient's address. Targeted delivery can be carried out both within the city and to settlements located within 300 km from the branch.
Hand over the cargo to PEC specialists
You can order the “Cargo Pickup” service from the PEC transport company. Our specialists will pick up the cargo at your address and deliver it to the PEC warehouse.

Today's migrants are lucky people. Some thirty years ago, transporting a TV was a challenge. Ten kilogram boxes could not be grasped. They didn't fit into elevators. Often the TVs slipped out of the movers' hands and broke.
And even in a new house, when placed on a cabinet, televisions could fail. For example, shocks during transportation caused the sound to be turned off. Or some microcircuits were frozen. Now it’s much easier to transport a TV - even a wide plasma one. You can do this yourself. The main thing is to know a few rules.
Making a plan
Before ordering a truck and looking for volunteers, make a plan of action. Where and from where will you take things? Is the road long? If you want to save money and order a van back-to-back, measure the diagonal of the TV. Check if it will fit through doors and hallways. Will it hit the corners? Will it fit in an elevator?
Let's pack
Now we need to start packing. Find bubble wrap, a large cardboard box, and tape. Wrap the TV in film, put it in a box and seal it. It’s good if there are fasteners inside the van - they can be used to secure the plasma “in a rack” - so it will not hit the walls of the truck when moving.
Under the Soviets, when packaging film and tape was only seen in magazines; fragile things were wrapped in blankets. It was risky - TVs and mirrors would slip, fall and break. If you don't want to spend money, you can wrap the TV in a non-slip blanket and tie it with twine - but it's safer to do it right in the van.
Be careful when carrying!
When all the doorways have been measured and the car has been ordered, remember about safety. Check if the cables are pulled out and collect them in a separate box. This will come in handy both when packing the TV (nothing will get tangled in your feet) and after transportation (all the wires will be quickly found).
If you're wrapping a blanket around your TV, look for one that's thick and non-slip. You can work right in the van, so you don’t have to drag the structure to the car afterwards. Place the blanket next to the plasma, place the TV like you put the filling in a pie - in the middle. Now we make an envelope - we cover the screen with a blanket on all sides. You can fasten it with rope or tape.
Everything is easier with a box. Lift the TV - preferably with two people - and place it in the box. Wrap the box with tape and take it to the car. The main thing is not to lay the TV flat: you risk damaging the screen. If you need to put the TV down, place it with the screen up - to do this, mark the fragile side on the box with a marker.
We put the TV in a new place
Once the TV is moved, the fun part comes. The plasma must be carefully unpacked and installed. First you will have to cut the tape - it’s better with a cutter, but it will do sharp knife. Now let's remove the box. Lift the TV and quietly, centimeter by centimeter, remove it. Unfold the film, if any.
How to send things by a transport company, what transport companies exist in Russia, has been written before. Now I will describe in detail how to pack things before shipping.
Most moving companies provide a variety of packing services. A company that respects clients, in addition to the list of services, also indicates their cost. Examples of such companies: RATEK, Baikal-Service. You can read about Ratek, and about Baikal Service.
If in the list of services for packing goods and things, any of the transport companies did not indicate their cost, then the prices presented on the websites of Ratek and Baikal-Service will be an approximate guideline for you.
Packing things yourself
When packing things, you need to remember that if, during transportation from branch to branch, the cargo in the truck is relatively safe (we exclude emergency situations on the road), because things are on a pallet allocated for them, then during transportation from the branch to the doorstep, if you have ordered such a service, they are reloaded into another vehicle without the use of auxiliary forklifts, removed from the pallet manually. The human factor plays a big role here. Unfortunately, if fragile items are damaged, you will not be able to make a claim against the transport company, because You packed the items yourself, you refused the services of the transport company, which will be indicated in the delivery note.
Household appliances are packed for transportation. Located on a pallet.
Therefore, when sending fragile items, household appliances, packaged independently, it is advisable to deliver them yourself to the branch of the transport company and pick them up after the truck arrives at the required branch, where they will be located on a transport pallet.
In addition to household appliances and things, food, vegetables, and fruits can be sent by trucking companies. It is quite enough to send potatoes in bags in the warm season. Any bags, both fabric and polypropylene, are suitable for this.
Polypropylene bag
Hard box
It is not recommended to send glass jars with preparations, jam, honey, etc., fragile items without rigid packaging. These can be wooden, plywood, fiberboard boxes. In the box, jars and fragile items must additionally be packed in bubble wrap or cover it with shock-absorbing things. Make a warning sign on the box: “Caution! Glass!" This inscription will not entail an increase in the price of the tariff, but it may well influence the actions of the loaders.
If you are sending clothes, especially when there is a lot of it, then vacuum bags make things easier. We need to tell you more about them, because... with their help it is convenient not only to transport clothes and linen by a transport company, but also to compactly pack a suitcase for a trip. The vacuum bag has a double zip fastener on the side, which must be carefully closed after putting things into the bag.
Open valve
There is also a valve for sucking air out of the bag with a vacuum cleaner. The valve hole is closed with a screw-on plug after air has been sucked out.
Below are photos of things packed into a bag before and after the air was sucked out of it. The height of the bag has been reduced to half its original size.
Suctioning air with a vacuum cleaner 
After air suction
If you are packing into a vacuum bag yourself, without assistants, then press the things in the bag with your feet on the floor, while simultaneously sucking out the air with a vacuum cleaner.
Wrap the prepared items in vacuum bags in fabric or stretch film, tie with twine or tape.
Corrugated cardboard box for packing things
Corrugated cardboard boxes are suitable for books, stationery, toys, cereals, and nuts.
