Can you share UPS horror stories about international shipping?
Sure. One such story is when someone sent a family heirloom to a relative overseas. UPS took weeks longer than expected. The package got stuck in customs for no clear reason. When it finally reached the destination, the heirloom was in a damaged state. It was a heartbreaking experience for the sender.
I've heard of a case where a company shipped samples of their new product line internationally via UPS. The samples were for a big international trade show. UPS misrouted the package multiple times. By the time it reached the destination, the trade show was over. This cost the company a great deal in terms of potential business and marketing opportunities.
International shipping
International shipping was the most important mode of transportation in international trade. More than two-thirds of the total volume of international trade, and most of China's import and export goods, were transported by sea. Ocean transportation, also known as international ocean cargo transportation, was the most important mode of transportation in international logistics. It referred to the use of ships to transport goods between ports in different countries and regions through sea routes. It was the most widely used in international cargo transportation. Ocean shipping could save the country's foreign exchange expenditure and increase foreign exchange income. Ocean shipping was beneficial to improving the country's industrial structure. At present, more than two-thirds of the total international trade volume and about 90% of China's total import and export cargo volume were transported by sea. Therefore, shipping played an important role in international trade.
