Proactive Documentation Strategies for Secure Parcel Delivery
International shipping is a complex journey fraught with potential hazards. At FishGoo Shipping, we understand that your parcels navigate a maze of handlers, vehicles, and environmental conditions. While we employ robust packaging standards and trusted carrier networks, the reality of transit means risks like damage, mishandling, or loss claims can never be fully eliminated. However, they can be strategically managed. One of the most powerful, yet often overlooked, tools in this endeavor is systematic visual documentation.
The FishGoo Shield: Two Critical Photo Practices
To dramatically strengthen your position and ensure successful resolution of any shipping issue, we strongly advise all clients to adopt these two documentation practices:
2. Conduct a Pre-Shipment Inspection Photo Session
Immediately before handing the parcel to the carrier or dropping it off, conduct a final visual inspection with your camera. This creates a timestamped record of the parcel's perfect state at the point of dispatch.

FishGoo's Best Practices for Effective Documentation
Use High Resolution
Clear, detailed images leave no room for ambiguity. Blurry photos can be disputed.
Include Date/Time Stamps
Ensure your camera or smartphone metadata (or a visible clock/newspaper in the shot) confirms the timing.
Store Securely & Share with FishGoo
Upload these photos to a cloud service or email them to yourself and your FishGoo representative. Do not delete them until the parcel is safely delivered and accepted.
Be Systematic
Make this a non-negotiable step for every international shipment. Consistency is key to risk management.
