        • Estimating Material Handling Charges
        Please prepay all shipping charges. GES Canada Ltd. cannot accept or be responsible for collect shipments. Crated and uncrated shipments must be separated and clearly identified on your bill of lading.

        All shipments must be accompanied by a Certified Weight Ticket. If no Certified Weight Ticket is available, GES will weigh your shipment(s) and special handling charges will apply. Special Handling rates will also apply to all loose, stacked and/or uncrated shipments.

      • Special Handling - Defined as shipments that are loaded by cubic space and/or packed in such a manner as to require special handling, such as ground loading, side door loading, constricted space loading, and designated piece loading or stacked shipments. Also included are mixed shipments and shipments without proper delivery receipts.
      • Late Surcharges - A surcharge may apply if advance freight is received after the published deadline date for shipments to arrive at the warehouse.
