Can I Ship This? 🤔
Short answer: Probably.
Long answer: It depends what “this” is 👀

🚚 Big, bulky, or heavy items?
Patio furniture, large furniture, auto parts, pallets, trade show materials?
➡️ That’s where LTL & FTL freight shipping comes in. Sometimes parcel shipping stops making sense.

💐 Need it there TODAY?
Flowers, urgent documents, forgotten samples, last-minute client deliveries?
➡️ Uber Direct can help with fast, same-day local deliveries when timing matters.

📦 Everyday business shipping?
Apparel, electronics, beauty products, office supplies, subscription boxes?
➡️ Compare real-time courier rates across multiple services in one place and choose what works best for your timeline and budget.

🌎 Shipping internationally?
Customs documents, HS codes, duties… oh my 😅
➡️ Having the right shipping tools can make cross-border logistics a whole lot easier.

🚫 What CAN’T you ship?
Some items have restrictions depending on the courier, including:
⚠️ Dangerous goods / hazardous materials
⚠️ Flammables & aerosols
⚠️ Certain batteries
⚠️ Restricted or prohibited items

💡 Shipping Tip: The question usually isn’t “Can I ship this?”
It’s “What’s the smartest way to ship this?”

📦 ShipTip: Shipping internationally? Your package description matters more than you think.

Writing “samples,” “parts,” “gift,” or “miscellaneous” on customs paperwork can increase the chance of delays, customs questions, or clearance issues.

Instead, be specific🔎
❌ “Parts”
✅ “Stainless steel bicycle chain”
❌ “Clothing”
✅ “Cotton women’s sweater”
❌ “Gift”
✅ “Ceramic coffee mug”

More accurate descriptions can help:
🌍 Support smoother customs clearance
📄 Improve documentation accuracy
⏱️ Reduce the chance of delays or follow-up requests

💡 With ShipTime, automatic HS code lookup helps simplify international shipping by automatically identifying applicable HS codes for eligible shipments, helping reduce manual work and improve customs documentation accuracy.

Better shipment details = fewer surprises at the border🎉
