EastMallBuy Shipping: How to Prevent Parcel Losses During Cross-Border Transit
International shipping involves multiple handling stages and transit points, increasing the risk of parcel loss or misdelivery. At EastMallBuy, we prioritize the security of your shipments through systematic verification protocols. Proper documentation of packaging details, weight data, and shipping codes serves as critical evidence to validate each delivery's authenticity.
1. Document Clear Packaging Photos
Before dispatching your parcel:
- Photograph the package from all angles, showing its condition, labeling, and sealing.
- Capture close-ups of the shipping label, ensuring the address and barcode are visible.
- Include photos of the contents (before sealing) if high-value items are involved.
These images help identify and resolve disputes related to tampering or incorrect handling.
2. Record Precise Weight Data
Weight is a key identifier in logistics:
- Weight the packaged item using a calibrated scale.
- Note the exact weight (in kilograms or pounds) and include it in your shipping documents.
- Compare this data with the carrier’s recorded weight at drop-off to detect discrepancies early.
Significant variations may indicate missing items or label swapping.
3. Track Shipping Codes Meticulously
Every legitimate shipment has a unique tracking number:
- Secure the shipping code immediately after generating the label.
- Use official carrier platforms (e.g., USPS, DHL, FedEx) to monitor transit progress.
- Verify that the tracking history aligns with the expected route and delivery timeline.
Any irregularities in tracking updates should be reported promptly to the carrier and EastMallBuy support.
4. Verify Delivery with a Three-Point Check
Upon delivery, cross-reference:
- Package Appearance:
- Weight Consistency:
- Code Authentication:
- Weight Consistency:
Discrepancies in any of these areas may indicate fraud or errors requiring immediate investigation.
5. Proactive Measures for High-Risk Routes
For destinations with known logistic challenges:
- Opt for insured shipping with signature confirmation.
- Use tamper-evident packaging seals and document their intactness upon arrival.
- Consider consolidated shipping via trusted EastMallBuy partners to minimize handling points.
