PANOAR / OEM & ODM order planning

Tactical Gear Shipping & Delivery

Plan delivery around your order, destination and receiving requirements. Share your tactical gear project details so freight options, packing and delivery terms can be reviewed before shipment.

01 / Freight options

Match the route to the order.

Samples, small shipments and bulk tactical gear orders can have different freight needs. The suitable option depends on packed weight, carton volume, destination, cargo acceptance and timing.

Courier / express
An option to discuss for samples or smaller shipments. Provide the full delivery address and postal code; service availability, billable weight and delivery estimates require a current quote.
Air freight
An option to review when shipment timing is a priority. Confirm whether the quote covers airport delivery, destination handling and onward transport, or only part of the route.
Sea freight / LCL or FCL
Review shared-container or full-container options against the packed volume and order schedule. Confirm origin and destination charges, receiving arrangements and the quoted service scope.
02 / Quote scope

Confirm what the delivery quote includes.

A freight amount alone does not describe the full delivery arrangement. State your preferred delivery terms and named destination so responsibilities and exclusions can be confirmed in writing.

  • Handover point: collection address, named port, terminal or receiving warehouse.
  • Included costs: freight, local handling, onward delivery and any separately quoted charges.
  • Import arrangements: who handles clearance, destination taxes, duties and required documents.
  • Insurance and receiving: requested cover, unloading needs, booking requirements and delivery access.

Include your preferred term, such as EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP or DDP, in the inquiry. Availability and the exact arrangement must be reviewed for the shipment; listing a term here is not a service commitment.

03 / Shipment preparation

Align packing before booking.

Backpacks, pouches, plate carriers, belts and K9 gear pack differently. Unit quantity alone is not enough to confirm freight cost.

  • Confirm unit packing, carton marks, labels and any pallet requirements.
  • Review carton count, outer dimensions and gross weight when available.
  • Specify invoice, packing list and any destination-specific document requirements for review.
  • Agree on shipment references, handover records and tracking information appropriate to the service.

Production readiness and transit time are separate. Review MOQ, samples and production timing before setting a requested arrival date.

04 / Shipping RFQ

What to send for a shipping quote.

02

Destination

Country, city, postal code and receiving address or preferred destination port.

03

Packed size & weight

Carton count, dimensions and gross weight if known. Otherwise, note that packing needs review.

Delivery preference

Preferred freight method, delivery term, named place and whether you have a nominated forwarder.

Buyer questions

Shipping & delivery FAQ

Can you quote shipping before production is complete?
Share the destination, quantity and estimated packing details for review. Any preliminary estimate should identify its assumptions. Confirm the final quote against the actual packing and current service availability before booking.
Can I use my own freight forwarder?
Include the forwarder’s contact details, proposed collection point and document requirements. Collection readiness, handover responsibilities and coordination details need to be agreed before booking.
How long will delivery take?
The estimate depends on the route, service, cargo-ready date, booking availability and destination handling. Ask for a shipment-specific estimate that separates production, transit and final delivery. There is no single delivery time for all orders.
Are customs duties and taxes included?
Do not assume they are included in a freight figure. Ask for a written breakdown of the agreed delivery scope, destination charges and import responsibilities before accepting the quote.
What should I do if goods arrive damaged or short?
Record the carton condition, labels, quantities and affected items, retain the packaging and contact PANOAR and the relevant carrier promptly with the shipment reference. The next steps depend on the agreed order terms, carrier process and any applicable insurance.
Should I list the contents of a medical pouch shipment?
Yes. State whether the shipment contains empty pouches or additional contents. Include any liquids, batteries or other items needing separate transport review, so the cargo description and service acceptance can be checked.
