It is here that your research skills are put to best use to look up the Internet, browse ads, receive reference from friends and employers and so on.

RECOMMENDED THINGS TO SHIP
We recommend that shipping of LED Televisions, leather furniture, love seats, beds, mattresses, electronic items (i.e.: music system, home theatre etc.) are worthwhile items to ship considering the huge cost in India and at the same time due to the sentimental value attached for having used it for so long. Items like Tv s and electronic stuff can be shipped but a step down transformer needs to be bought in India for converting from 110 Volts to 220 volts ,some TV you need buy NTC and PAL Converter.

SURVEY, VOLUME ASSESSMENT AND QUOTE
On the spot surveys can be done, the volume may also be ascertained via online auto volume calculator or through a simple phone call by listing the items if they are few in number. Once the volume is determined the quote can be prepared and sent within the next couple hours. The customer can then review the quote and have a direct telephonic discussion with the assigned Sales Manager to clarify any queries he or she may have. The client has an option to opt for full packing, partial packing or choose to pack by themselves leaving Universal to pick up the shipment and ship it to India. In case of customer self packing, it is hereby advised to use only double walled heavy duty carton boxes.
