Important Hazardous Materials Regulatory Changes
Service Update
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) is implementing two important regulatory changes which may affect you and your hazardous materials shipments.

First, the DOT has modified the shipping paper requirements to include the number and type of packages.  Please refer to Title 49 of the US Code of Federal Regulations (49CFR) Part 172.200 for specific requirements.  This new requirement becomes mandatory for all hazardous material shipments on October 1, 2007.  Failure to comply with this requirement on or after October 1 will result in the return of your shipments.

Second, the DOT has modified the shipping paper requirements affecting ORM-D shipments via air services.  DOT’s new rule requires the shipper to record the gross mass of the package as part of the basic description.  Shippers will no longer be allowed to indicate the net mass of the hazardous material in the package.  This new requirement becomes mandatory on January 1, 2008.

Voluntary compliance with these new rules is allowed by DOT today.  It may be in your best interest to make these changes in your documentation processes as soon as possible.

If you use UPS Hazardous Materials software, this change will be incorporated into the application.

We appreciate the business you entrust to UPS. If you have any questions, please call the UPS Hazardous Materials Support Center at 800-554-9964.

Parcel Force question

Filed under:Parcel — posted by admin on @ 11:58 am

My daughter sent two parcels to be delivered the next day [saturday] and we’ve just found out one parcel is in London, somewhere in the depot, and the other one got delivered to a toyshop this morning in our town. She sent the parcels to an address in Bucks [we live in Wales]. These parcels cost about £20 to send and Parcel force started to shout at me, as if its my fault the parcels are off on an adventure of travel!

———-

this went on for over a fortnight until i phoned parcel force and as you say it is hard to find anyone with half a brain — but after many arguements with them they decided to check all the parcels there was mine right at the bottom of a stack — weeks overdue and rather squashed but fortunately the contents were ok,, in the end the firm it was orderd off of decided to give them a real telling off and parcel force offered to pay for half of the cost, OK GO AHEAD AND SCREAM WILL MAKE YOU FEEL MUCH BETTERA AND CHEAPER THAN DRINK.
