It is a good idea we give you a little insight into our operations and introduce you to our hardworking team who handles your belongings during the move.
Who are shipping receivers and what do they do
Moving is much more than just packing your belongings and loading them onto a truck. That’s why we have shipping receivers! These busy bees transport goods, supplies, materials, equipment, and stock to and from a location and keep track of everything. In other words, they are your best friends while moving and will manage the whole process. A shipping receiver is responsible for keeping track of the items, managing inventory levels, and handling all factors of shipping and receiving. They package items, issue labels, weigh shipments, and determine correct charges on the shipping side. Receivers are in charge of reviewing bills of lading to actual items received, examining for damage, and then delivering items to the correct locations once approved.
Responsibilities of the receiver during shipping
We briefly explained what the shipping handlers are mainly in charge of. Their roles depend on the kind of shipping they are handling, but we would also like to list some of the typical tasks they are likely to perform and skills they require:
- Determines transportation method and compiles bills, invoices, and other shipping documentation
- Assists with unloading as needed, after receiving items and checking and verifying delivery slips
- Inspects and confirms arriving items against invoices or other documentation keeps track of shortages and rejects items that are damaged
- Calculates pricing based on guidelines and adds bar codes, prices, and security tags as needed
- Keeps contact with resource people for relevant information
- Has a good understanding of safe storage and handling operations
- Knows proper shipping measures of handling hazardous goods
Experts in logistics
Now that you are familiar with the roles of personnel who handle your shipping, we would like to give you an even bigger picture. As you understand by now, receiving staff has a lot of responsibilities, so this is why they have to have certain logistics skills. To determine the best course of action, shippers arrange the best and fastest transportation routes and methods. We highly value good planning and organization. This is why we give a thorough layout of the moving procedure to our customers, from forwarding to storage and handling your shipment.
We previously mentioned that the receiver’s duties depend on the kind of shipping they are responsible for. Rather you are in a process of local, long-distance, international, home, or commercial moving, we can cover all of your needs!

Safety responsibilities
You can never be too cautious when it comes to the safety and security of your shipment. After all, damage or loss of items can cause unnecessary charges and dissatisfaction. That is the last thing we want for you! Especially if you are moving your home or office to a distant location, your belongings are likely to travel through different transportation vehicles, climates, and hands. Our receivers’ responsibility is to also confirm your items are safe and sound. If items are not packed properly, you are exposing them to the risk of damages. Again, this is where our receivers step in to determine all the logistics and safety regulations of the shipment. We make sure all of your items are protected in the way they are stored and transported to your final location.
Another safety risk is theft, which is never a pleasant experience. You need a reliable moving team to keep an eye on all the operations from start to finish. For example, if you are shipping to Bahrain, a lot can happen to your shipment on the way. You will simply need a team of professionals you can count on, and someone who cares about your belongings – just like we do! We make every effort to ensure that all shipments arrive securely, regardless of their destination or the items being shipped. Our representatives go over all of your wants and concerns with you in detail to ensure that the process runs successfully.
Insurance for your belongings
We couldn’t call ourselves as responsible as we claim if we didn’t tell you about all the safety overviews. Consider getting any of the suitable moving insurance coverage options to protect your possessions all the way. This is a good idea in case you are relocating sensitive items such as electronics, arts, or any other valuable possessions, and want to be extra careful. Whichever plan works best for you and your assets, we are here to consult you and explain each option in detail. Now that we’ve got you covered, you can lean back and relax!
