Flexible Shipping Options When Plans Change

One of the helpful things about shipping to Israel is that there is often a great deal of logistical flexibility available along the way.

Depending on your situation, options may include:

• Temporary storage at origin or destination
• Adding extra boxes to a partial shipment
• “Drop shipping” additional goods into the shipment later
• Delaying delivery until your home is ready
• Coordinating around closing dates, leases, or travel plans

For example, some customers realize after packing day that they still have items they would like to send. In many cases, this can still be arranged. Others may need short-term storage while waiting for housing or final delivery timing.

The important thing to understand is:

• Many solutions are available
• Shipping plans can often be adjusted
• Additional handling usually means additional cost

Common extra charges may include:

• Warehouse receiving fees
• Storage charges
• Additional handling or delivery fees
• Repacking or palletizing costs

The good news is that shipping is rarely an “all or nothing” process. In many situations, there are practical ways to adapt the shipment to changing circumstances — as long as everyone communicates early and understands the costs involved.
