Almost all types of business are tied to supplies. Someone makes the goods themselves and sends them to customers. And the other, on the contrary, buys what is needed and organizes supplies to his own company. Depending on the size and type of cargo for these purposes, you can use the railway, water, air routes and use road transport.
Instructions
Step 1
To arrange delivery, the first step is to find the right partner who has the product you need. Agree with him about the cost, conclude a contract for the provision of services. Discuss the delivery time and quantity of the product you need. Most often, manufacturing firms provide transportation services or have reliable contractors. All you need is to discuss the urgency of the order. The final cost depends on this. For example, the fastest way to get a batch of computers from city A to city B is on a cargo plane. And road transportation is much slower, but several times cheaper.
Step 2
If you organize the delivery, then conclude an agreement in advance with the contractor companies. There should be several of them for all occasions. For the transportation of goods over short distances, sign an agreement with a transport company, in the arsenal of which there are trucks of different tonnage. The Gazelle can deliver small orders around the city or nearby settlements. And heavy trucks are good when the consignment of goods is large and will have to be transported far.
Step 3
If you have a large-scale production, or you are engaged in the sale of large volumes of heavy goods, for example, cars, conclude an agreement with the cargo department of the Russian Railways. They are the monopolists in this type of delivery. This can be done by calling 8-800-775-01-00. Additional information, a corporate service scheme, rules for freight traffic, transport corridors can be viewed on the Russian Railways website.
Step 4
For the delivery of urgent cargo over long distances, stock up on contracts with air carriers. Such services are provided by the majority of airlines operating on the Russian market. The largest of them are Aeroflot (phone for inquiries +7 (495) 753-81-63, extension 31-87) and Transaero (+7 (495) 788-80-80). These companies have websites where you can view additional information.
Step 5
To deliver non-urgent cargo over long distances, sign a contract with sea and river carriers. Their services are much cheaper than sending them by plane. Contact one of the logistics companies that provide similar services.
Step 6
Organize cargo escort. Your representative should go to the company supplying the goods and collect there a full set of documents: contracts for the sale and purchase and transportation signed by both parties, quality certificates, consignment notes, insurance, etc. All these documents will be needed on the way, especially if the products will go through customs. You can find out more about what kind of documentation is required for various groups of goods on the website of the Federal Customs Service of Russia.
