Pet consignment is a special form of consignment in logistics, which refers to the service that the shipper entrusts a pet consignment company with consignment qualification to transport the pet to the designated place and deliver it to the designated consignee. According to the different ways of consignment, it can be divided into car consignment, train consignment and air consignment.
Mode of delivery:
Air consignment
Go to the animal hospital first, and the animal and plant quarantine unit (or the animal husbandry center of the Agriculture Bureau) will issue three kinds of relevant certificates-
1. Animal immunization certificate
2, transport equipment disinfection certificate (air box or homemade animal cage disinfection certificate)
3. Animal quarantine certificate
Then go to the freight department of the airline to check in and pay the freight. At the destination, the other party can pick it up with an ID card.
Packaging requirements require that the cage be made of steel bars, the chassis and its surroundings be surrounded by iron sheets, and only the upper part is allowed to be used as a vent. The chassis also needs sacks or cotton pads tied under the chassis. In order not to leak urine and pollute other articles, both sides of the cage need to be crawled (which can be made of lead wire) for extraction, and the opening of the cage needs to be tied tightly with lead wire.
Look for the counter of Shanghai Airlines in the airport lobby and say you want to bring your pet aboard. Remember not to go to the Shanghai Airlines consignment office on the airport freight road, where goods are consigned instead of luggage. Luggage consignment can be carried out at random. If the goods are consigned, there is no need to find a courier at all. It is important to prove that it is complete and can be done at any time, but then the baby won't know what to take on the plane, so try to find an escort to take it away so that the baby can enter the transmission belt 40 minutes before taking off. You can stay with him for a while.
Then you can go downstairs crying and find a bus. One thing is very important: freight is an anaerobic warehouse, and pets will suffocate! ! There must be an aerobic cabin!
Train consignment
For professional sellers or individuals who deal with domestic pets such as dogs and cats, we often need to transport them to different places hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away. Unlike driving with them, you don't go to your destination yourself. At this time, it is necessary to entrust a professional train consignment company to handle this matter.
With the rise of "pet craze" in China, the number of pets has increased rapidly in recent years, and the indispensable third-party logistics and transportation has gradually broken out, and the market is expanding day by day. Therefore, many express delivery and consignment companies have opened professional windows to receive customers with this demand, which not only increases business income, but also solves problems for users, which can be described as a win-win situation. However, like other industries, customers always like to shop around and choose the best. Not only is it affordable, but the service is also in place. More importantly, it depends on the professional and technical level.
Pet consignment is a special business. If the goods are lost in regular freight, they can always be found back. Even if it is lost, the loss is not great, and if the pet accidentally disappears or dies, the fault of losing life cannot be recovered and the loss cannot be made up.
Let's see if the "pet consignment contract" is standardized.
It is recommended to listen to advertisements less. In the advertisement, everyone said that "it is good to spend good rice". Remember to think more about the contract. Whether the carrier likes it or not, the contract must be signed in black and white. It is better not to do business without signing the contract. Whether the contract is standardized or not directly reflects the integrity and management level of a company. The following is a standard model for your reference.
Item 1: shipper and carrier information
Whether the information of the shipper and the carrier is disclosed in detail, the shipper specifically includes the name, address, postal code and telephone number. On this basis, the carrier should also correctly fill in the company name, legal representative and specific position of the contractor.
Item 2: Information of the living body to be examined.
Including pet species, age, basic habits, health status, feeding habits of water and food, etc. You can also give reasons why you need special care.
Item 3: Packaging Requirements and Specifications
Include that weight of the dog or cat, the weight of the cage and the total number. In addition, Wang Yi also reminds you: whether the other party guarantees ventilation, whether it is equipped with a water dispenser, whether it is equipped with sewage measures, who will provide the cage, the length, width and height of the cage, whether the top is covered with a rain-proof layer, and whether the surrounding area is covered with an anti-mosquito layer, all of which are your rights and interests. But at the same time, if your package does not meet the requirements of the freight company, the other party has the right to refuse delivery or not to guarantee that the pet will not be harmed.
Item 4: Place and date of shipment
That is, when and where to receive the goods, whether the courier company picks them up at home, what vehicle to load them with, what requirements are there for loading and unloading, whether the means of transport are disinfected in advance, and whether the customer is not ready by the departure date, the amount of compensation for the empty fare.
Item 5: Handling of relevant certificates
The customer provides three certificates: Animal Health Immunity Certificate, Quarantine Certificate and Vehicle Disinfection Certificate. If it is lost, who will handle it and who will pay for it. If the customer handles it himself, the company will specify the final time limit.
Item 6: Destination and arrival date
That is, the final destination required by customers and the number of days required for delivery promised by the company. Details include: whether to deliver the goods to your door, whether to allow appropriate delay and so on.
Item 7: Consignee information and how to collect it.
Include the name, address and telephone number of the consignee, and briefly describe what documents need to be legally collected.
Item 8: Liability in case of accident
If the pet is injured due to loading and unloading or other factors, Wang Yi reminds: for example, if it is missing, dead or injured, how to identify it, who will identify it and how much to pay compensation, all these must be agreed in advance. Except for irresistible factors such as earthquakes and mudslides.
Item 9: Settlement and Payment of Fees
What is the total cost, whether to provide a list, who will pay, whether to pay in full or by the other party. When to pay, the following focuses on the transportation costs.
If a train consignment company can happily sign an agreement with you containing the above requirements, it is indeed a more formal occupation.
Taking Shanghai company as an example, the process is introduced.
Contact the shipping company, explain the purpose to the other party, introduce the relevant situation of the pet, ask about the price, and invite the other party to visit.
When the other party comes to the door, sign a contract or agreement with him, pay the corresponding money and agree on the delivery date.
After the goods arrive in the local area, the shipping company will call the consignee and agree on the specific delivery time.
If it passes the acceptance, let the pet rest for a few days.
Freight price calculation
Several factors that determine the freight rate:
Distance;
Whether to receive and deliver goods at home;
The cost of handling documents;
Volume size;
Total weight of the pet cage; Just like airplane consignment, the volume and weight are larger, and the larger is calculated.
Related appliances, such as drinking fountains, food basins, cages and food;
The delivery cycle is long, the general requirements are urgent, and the cost will rise;
Whether the insured price involves insurance expenses;
The total price is the sum of the above items.
Go to the nearby veterinary station at least one week in advance to get rabies vaccine and cat triple vaccine, and get an epidemic prevention certificate (if you have an epidemic prevention certificate, you don't have to do this step).
One or two days in advance, not too early, two days at most.
Take your pet to the railway veterinary station (animal quarantine station) one day in advance to stamp it. If you have any questions, call the consultation number, free of charge.
Take your pet 2-3 hours in advance for the train of the day, put it in a special air box, and check in. If the procedures are complete and simple, just show your immunization certificate, exit quarantine certificate and ticket for the same day, then fill out a list, weigh it and charge (the cost is unknown, not made by yourself). It is said that it won't cost much.
People can't leave after completing the certificate. They must stay with their pets until they get into the van with them and settle down. Of course, people can go back to their cars. After getting off the bus, you can pick up your pet at the station where you arrive with the bill of lading.
Remind everyone, "pets have to adapt to a new cramped environment and are prone to abnormal reactions.
Such as incontinence, fidgeting and so on. It is best to fast in advance before shipment. To be on the safe side, you can also give your pet some sedatives.
Introduction of automobile consignment processing flow and matters needing attention
Different from the way of transporting pets by air, train and ship, the procedure of long-distance bus is very simple. Long-distance bus stations generally do not clearly stipulate whether pets can be brought on board. However, because the carriage is not spacious, in most cases, the carrier does not advocate passengers carrying pets on board. However, if the customer insists on doing so, the station will ask the owner to prepare his own cage or carton and put it in a place that will not affect the passage of others. In addition, during the trip, you should make sure that all kinds of behaviors of pets will not affect other passengers. However, this situation only applies to small dogs such as myna, and drivers are determined not to bring larger dogs and cats. In this case, I suggest you entrust a highway consignment company to handle it.
Step 1: Apply for Animal Health Immunity Certificate, and be sure to show it before getting on the bus. At the same time, give your pet a serious bath to avoid giving off odor and causing disgust. At the same time, you can give your pet some medicine to prevent motion sickness in advance.
Step 2: Negotiate with the driver's master euphemistically, explain your situation and gain sympathy. If the vehicle is empty, try to put it in the back parking space near the window, which will not affect other passengers and keep the pets in the cage ventilated and cool.
Step 3: If the vehicles are basically passengers during rush hours such as Spring Festival travel rush rush hour, the baby will be wronged at this time. In order to create a good environment for other passengers, drivers generally suggest that you put it in the luggage compartment at the bottom of the car, which is rather stuffy here. Wang Yi suggested that the cage you made should be equipped with a drinking fountain.
Freight price calculation
If pets are checked as car luggage, the long-distance bus company has some regulations on the charging price: the charging weight is in kilograms. 10 kg is the starting fee, and the billing weight exceeds 10 kg, and the mantissa is insufficient 1 kg, rounded to 1 kg. In case of bulk or bulk, 3 cubic meters is equivalent to 1 kg, and the freight per 100 kg/km is calculated as 2 times of the basic freight of the seat.
In addition to long-distance buses, pets can be entrusted to professional companies, and the other party takes cars and trucks as the main means of transportation. This mode of transportation, which is mainly by road and car, is called "road consignment". In areas where air, train and sea transportation are underdeveloped, "road transportation" can overcome dangerous terrain and reach any area. Its main advantages are low price and flexibility. Up to now, more than 60% of domestic goods are still transported by it, mostly for short-distance transportation. In this article, pet net will discuss some of the knowledge with you, including contract formulation and price calculation, and teach you how to identify and choose the most suitable carrier.
According to different scales, common ways of road transport cooperation
Mode 1: smaller scale
If only a single small animal is transported occasionally, in order to save costs, the shipping company can be required to carpool with other goods or live animals.
Mode 2: Medium scale
If you are a merchant engaged in wholesale pet trading and often need to transport in large quantities, you can ask the other party to rent the vehicle to you, and the other party will designate a driver, and you will also send someone to follow the vehicle. The two parties will agree on the number of uses and the driving distance.
Mode 3: On a larger scale
If the transportation is hundreds of vehicles, and the quantity is extremely huge, you can negotiate with the other party to adopt "car container transportation" or "towing", that is, the vehicle consists of a tractor and a trailer, which can be picked up and hung, with high flexibility.
Freight price calculation
First of all, we must understand what "foam goods" are. According to the relevant regulations of China's highway department, anything with a volume of more than 4 cubic meters per kilogram is considered as "light bubble goods", so your dog and cat definitely belong to this category. Due to the different modes of transportation, it is generally divided into "complete vehicle" and "less than one load". Less-than-truckload is the most common one. Generally, it is enough to negotiate the price with the shipping company and specify the time limit. And each transport of "3 tons" and above is "complete vehicle", and road freight is marked with "ton/km". For the same goods, Wang Yi found that the cost of "complete vehicle" was about 40% less than that of "LTL". In addition, there are also charges based on driving time, such as "hours/yuan".
Introduction of standard contract
The company's regulations are not standardized. As can be seen from its contract, a complete pet consignment agreement should at least include the following elements.
1. Name, name, address, telephone number and postal code of you, the consignee and the other company.
2. Pet breed, age, total weight, number and size of cages.
3. Whether to provide on-site service.
4, packaging, if the road is far away, whether the driver needs special care.
5. Date of shipment and delivery period.
6. How to ensure the transportation quality?
7. Who is responsible for any accident during loading and unloading?
8. Whether the price is insured, whether it needs to be insured, and how to calculate the cost.
9. Is the transportation fee "prepaid" or "cash on delivery"?
10. If this contract is violated, what responsibilities shall both parties bear?
Ship consignment
"Ship loading" is a common way for ships to transport passengers and goods. Compared with airlines and trains, its main advantages are low price and long distance, but its disadvantages are also obvious. The slow speed and seasonal influence determine that it is very unreliable to entrust the company to deliver the goods directly. The delicate cats and dogs can't stand such a long toss unless they are always taken care of. In addition, functional dogs such as guide dogs are generally not allowed to be brought into the cabin.
A friend often asks, "Can I bring pets by boat?" In fact, as long as I go through the relevant formalities, I can take it with me. Generally speaking; Water transportation includes coastal, offshore, ocean, inland river and short-distance ferry. The first three are collectively referred to as "sea transportation" and the last two are called "river transportation". This article discusses some knowledge and skills, prices and related regulations with you in pet net.
Introduction of consignment processing flow and related regulations
First of all, you need to go through the formalities in the "baggage room" at the boarding port. Each baggage check can only be checked once. When checking in, you can first explain the particularity of live pet transportation to the bellman and tell the total number of pieces. After the bellman checks that it meets the requirements, he can fill in the waybill and go through the payment formalities.
Step 1: Ask in advance.
Call the passenger transport department on board and ask if the other party can start a pet consignment business.
Step 2: cage selection
Buy or customize a "shipping box" or cage for carrying pets. For details, please refer to the corresponding contents of the plane or train. If the package is not firm and the mark is unclear, it must be improved, otherwise it will not be carried on board.
Step 3: Fill in relevant documents.
Including the luggage tag and label on the ship, the handwriting must be clear, indicating the volume and weight.
Step 4: Transportation
Give the baggage tag together with the handover list to the ship's customer service party as the handover certificate.
Step 5: Unload the ship.
After the ship arrives in Hong Kong, it should promptly hand over the relevant bills to the passenger baggage department, and claim the pet with the tag number on the handover list.
Freight price calculation
Shipping companies generally stipulate that the weight of each piece of luggage should not exceed 50 kilograms, the length should not exceed 2.5 meters, and the volume should not exceed 0.5 cubic meters. The full ticket cannot exceed 30 kg, and the half ticket cannot exceed 15 kg. Fares vary according to airlines, company fees and distances, and generally vary from 10 to 30 yuan per ticket. But Wang Yi also found that some lines are completely free. For example, it is stipulated that small animals that passengers can carry should be put into cages, and the bottom of cages should be padded or put into cages. You can only take care of yourself, and you can't release it to feed. Traveling by boat is a rare gospel for you.
