Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide door-to-door delivery services within the United States?
Yes. With our extensive network of 15 offices across the country, we can handle all aspects of your shipment, including customs clearance and final delivery to your desired location.
Can Dimerco provide additional services like repacking or changing the destination of goods while in transit?
Yes. Our global network of offices and agents enables us to provide these services at various locations worldwide.
How does Dimerco handle damaged cargo claims?

We document every stage of your shipment with photos and detailed records, making it easier to identify and address any damage that may occur. In the event of damage, we work closely with insurance providers and relevant parties to ensure a smooth and efficient claims process.
Why is it recommended to book shipping space in advance, even without knowing the exact rates?
While carriers may update rates weekly, shipping space, especially for popular trade lanes, can be limited. Booking space in advance, typically 2 weeks before the Estimated Time of Departure (ETD), helps secure your desired shipping slot. This proactive approach allows you to lock in your shipping arrangements and avoid potential delays or higher costs due to last-minute bookings.
