Our authors: experts in shipping and transport
How we review our guides
At the start of every guide, we state who reviewed it and when it was last updated. We check the information on pallet types, dimensions, weights, pickup and delivery against our booking process and our terms and conditions. We only describe what you can actually book at transportami. We calculate price examples with our own calculator.
If rates, processes or conditions change, we update the articles concerned. You can send us questions or comments about a guide via our customer service.
