\r\n\r\n\r\nThis was the plastic drum used for shipping UN1760, PG II product.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I received a call from one of our clients to assist them with a rejected shipment. They are air certified but they don\u2019t ship via air that often; hence, why they had some issues and needed our expertise. For the folks that ship air regularly, we all know that if you don\u2019t cross your \u201ct\u201d and dot your \u201ci\u201d it won\u2019t go and it can be frustrating for those shipping via air infrequently.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The shipment consisted of 2 plastic pails which was dropped to our location by the carrier as directed by our client.\u00a0 First thing I look for is if the pails are UN standardized and yes, they were. Based on the quantity limit per package, it had to go cargo aircraft only and must follow packing instruction 855.\u00a0 Looked at PI 855 and sure enough a \u201c1H2\u201d is not permitted to be used as a single packaging.\u00a0 Our client mainly ships ground and this pail is acceptable for ground shipping but since it\u2019s going via air and it’s PG II, it must be a closed head drum, a 1H1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Yes, it\u2019s very frustrating.\u00a0Called our client back and advised him it can\u2019t go the way it\u2019s currently packaged. Must be transferred into a 1H1 or another closed head single packaging. He said okay and he will arrange to get it picked up from our office, transfer the products into acceptable packaging (we don\u2019t transfer), return the pails back to us and then I\u2019ll do my thing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
And that\u2019s exactly what happened. We provided the correct packaging (1H1 drums), it was safely transferred and then we prepared it for air transport.\u00a0 It arrived at the destination a couple of days later.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
