Inquiry checklist

Start with the details you know.

The quote form asks for the same information whether you choose WhatsApp or email.

  • The service you need and whether the shipment is an import, export or road transport only
  • Origin or pickup point, plus destination or delivery point
  • What the cargo is and its estimated weight, size or package count
  • When it will be ready and any handling or delivery requirements

Common questions

Before you send your inquiry.

Can I ask for one service only?

Yes. You can inquire about customs clearance, freight forwarding or road transport individually. If you need several steps covered, mention each one so the team can confirm the scope.

What if I don’t know the weight or dimensions yet?

Send an estimate if you have one, or leave that field blank. Red Orbit can let you know which measurements are needed to complete the quote.

Can I ask about a specific route?

Yes. Share the pickup and delivery points and the cargo type. The team will confirm availability and any information needed for that route.

How do import and export inquiries reach the right team?

Choose Import or Export on the quote form. Email inquiries go to the corresponding desk. WhatsApp inquiries include the shipment type in the message.

When should I share shipment documents?

Send the basic shipment details first. Red Orbit will confirm what documents it needs and how to share them.
