SHIPPING CHARGES [15 records]

Record 1 2018-09-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Postal Correspondence
  • Mail Pickup and Distribution
CONT

An additional benefit of using a scale is that you have a record of the exact weight of a package when it was sealed. That information comes in handy if a customer complains of a package with missing items and when auditing your shipping charges.

Domaine(s)
  • Objets de correspondance (Postes)
  • Levée et distribution du courrier
CONT

Un autre avantage de la balance est le fait qu'elle enregistre le poids exact des colis au moment où ils ont été scellés. Voilà qui est pratique lorsqu'un client signale des articles manquants, ou lorsque vous vérifiez vos frais d'expédition.

Record 2 2016-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Maritime Organizations
  • Maritime Law
  • Foreign Trade
DEF

Two or more shipping lines operating a service in common between designated geographical areas.

OBS

The lines agree on a set of freight rates and any special rates for shippers and each line charges the same as the others. The ships used are of types suitable for the trade. Unlike tramp shipping where freight rates are a function of daily supply and demand, conference rates are relatively stable : base rates are altered by means of a general rate increase which in many cases is once a year. Lines in a conference are governed by the rules of membership which may include rights to load or discharge at certain ports and pooling of cargo.

OBS

shipping conference: term standardized by CGSB [Canadian General Standards Board].

DEF

Agrupación de líneas marítimas que hacen una misma ruta, y que se ponen de acuerdo con la finalidad de informar y estabilizar los fletes y suministrar los servicios en las condiciones de explotación que se fije para esa ruta, se le denomina Conferencia Marítima, Conferencia de Fletes o Conferencia Naviera.

OBS

La conferencia es pues un oligopolio que elimina toda competencia, no solo de fletes, sino en condiciones de prestación del servicio, en tal forma que el usuario no tiene ninguna alternativa para buscar fletes más económicos ni para lograr un mejor servicio.
