What Is a GR Number and How Do You Track Your Shipment?
Your GR (Goods Receipt) number is the key to tracking and collecting your consignment. Here is everything you need to know.
Read articleMoving goods from the plains into Himachal Pradesh is different from highway transport. Winding roads, steep gradients and sudden weather changes all put extra stress on your packaging. Good packing is the single biggest factor in safe delivery.
1. Use strong, double-wall cartons
Single-wall boxes compress when stacked during long hill journeys. Use 5-ply or double-wall corrugated cartons for anything over 10 kg, and never overfill or underfill a box.
2. Cushion fragile items on every side
Glassware, electronics and ceramics need at least 5 cm of bubble wrap or foam on all sides. Mark the carton clearly as FRAGILE and with THIS SIDE UP arrows.
3. Waterproof for the monsoon and winter
Wrap moisture-sensitive goods such as textiles, paper and electronics in plastic sheeting before boxing. Between July and September and in snow season, this simple step prevents most damage claims.
4. Label clearly
Write the consignee name, full address, phone number and destination town on at least two sides of each package. Match the package count to your GR (Goods Receipt).
5. Declare goods correctly
Always carry a valid invoice and e-way bill where applicable. Accurate declaration avoids delays at checkpoints.
