It is a trend with most Asian communities to send gifts of clothing, food, Toys and Electronics to their friends and relatives back at home. The Sri Lankan families living in USA is very much patriotic to their mother land, it is important to them that they hold on to their traditions in Culture and the hospitality nature. Sri Lankans are known to be friendly and helpful, and most often taken for granted by many.
During the recent times there have been several shipping companies emerging to service this growing need for Sri Lankans to send packages back to their friends and families, one such company is Trico Maritime International USA is offering their services through the web, facebook twitter and blogs. They have attracted people from all over the world to send gift packages or purchase items online and have them shipped. Trico Maririme International USA now extends its services to the extent that they would do a door delivery too, all this could be done while you sit at the comfort of your home on the computer or telephone.
Trico Maritime International is also planning to create economical hamper packages too, for those who do not want to go out and buy some goodies and throw into a basket and have it picked up, instead they could select a hamper for $ 50.00 and have it shipped, and if they would like it delivered to the door this service is added on at an extra fee. How easy life has become, and the way to go in this busy world where you can maintain your thoughtfulness about your friends and family and not disrupt your busy schedule.
All this information could be found by visiting their website: www.tricomaritimeusa.com or emailing rohan@tricomaritimeusa.com and even better calling them at 310-567-8894 and discussing the special offers. What amazes most is that they will meet and beat the competition.
This is not all that Trico Maritime International USA would do they will even ship Full Container Loads (FCL) for you to any part of the world or Less than Container Loads (LCL) to any destination, Trico offers its services beyond borders for customer living in neighbouring states which does not provide these services. The creative and innovative ways in which they promote the business is unique in Trico. Trico will handle all your shipping and Forwarding documentation timely and expeditiously, the import side of the business will do your customs clearance and deliver the shipment to your door, while you are relaxing having the morning coffee.
If you do see any other areas Trico can help in why don't we suggest or type in a few lines to improve their services, and surely if the volume of business increases we will see more frequent shipments. We wish that all Sri Lankans will keep helping those in need too, such as orphanages, school Libraries, Non profit organisations and other institutions that provide humanitarian services.

Just want to say that I recently used Trico to send a package to Sri Lanka. After shopping around for prices I found them to be priced the best. A simple phone call helped me get my package priced and I got all the direction I needed instead of being put on hold playing with 10,000 prompts. Kudo's to you guys and keep up the good work!! You got my business!!
ReplyDeleteI used Trico couple months ago to ship a few packages to Sri Lanka and experienced an easy process with Trico. A simple phone call and my packages were picked up from my door step and shipped safely to Sri Lanka. I did not undergo any problems and the process went smoothly as expected. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good review
DeleteDid you know that the cost for a Forty foot container increased by over $ 600.00 in the last month to Sri Lanka, and Trico Maritime International continues charging their customers the same rate per cubic foot. Is is not amazing how Trico absorbs the cost and maintain a consistency. Making money is not everything at Trico but making customers happy is everything.

ReplyDeleteTrico Maritime International USA, will ship any kind of machinery for you to most parts of the world, if you are in the machinery business it is important that you speak to our representatives.
ReplyDeleteWe have had many experiences of late where people from New Zealand and Greece have had their shipping containers fumigated at the port of loading only to be told by Australian Quarantine officers that didn't matter they wanted them to go to licensed Australian Bond Store to be unpacked and inspected. This I might add is very, very expense to any new family arriving into Australia.
ReplyDeleteSo here is the Australian Quarantine regulations for fumigating 20 ft / 40ft shipping containers of personal effects / household goods and commercial cargo containing wood / timber / bamboo
Prescribed minimum concentration of Methyl Bromide (CH3Br) for various temperatures
( except under vacuum - see note 2 below )
48 g/m3 ( 3 lbs / 1000 cu ft) for 24 hours at minimum of 21 deg C (70 deg F) or above
56 g/m3 (3.5 lbs / 1000 cu ft) for 24 hours at minimum of 16 deg C
64 g/m3 (4 lbs / 1000 cu ft) for 24 hours at minimum of 11 deg C
72 g/m3 ( 4.5 lbs / 1000 cu ft) for 24 hours at minimum of 6 deg C
80 g/m3 (5 lbs / 1000 cu ft) for 24 hours at minimum of 1 deg C
Notes:
1. Treatments undertaken below 0 degrees Celsius will not be accepted
2. Methyl Bromide under vacuum is only acceptable if applied at
64 g/m3 for 4 hours at 21 degrees C or above under vaccum ( 660 mm vacuum)
64 g/m3 for 5 hours at a minimum of 4 degrees C under vaccum ( 660 mm vacuum)
3. In most cicumstances the minimum concentration required for barrier concerns is 48 g/m3 CH3Br. However, AQIS has granted one exemption. Due to Environment Health Authority (EHA) requirements in Singapore, it is against the law to fumigate with Methyl Bromide at rates above 40 g/m3. Should an accredited person receive a certificate at this rate the time exposure must be a minimum of 30 hours to compensate for the lower rate. Should a Singapore certificate state the normal recognised rate of 48 g/m3 CH3Br for 24 hours then this should be accepted. Please note this exemption applies to SINGAPORE only
4. Accredited persons must not accept certificates which state that a treatment in excess of 128 g/m3 of Methyl Bromide has been applied. Such certificates are to be referred to AQIS for consideration.
it is advisable to have a certified fumigation company do this job and have it endorsed by the local chamber of commerce and the City.

ReplyDeleteI have used had items shipped to the Trico agent in CA twice, and they have done a great job corresponding with me on the package receipts, and in both instances optimally packaged the items so that the cuft was minimal. Every week an updated docket is sent with the received parcels and the tracking details.
ReplyDeleteItems that were marked fragile had been carefully placed in the center, and paper added to make sure it was secure.
The agent in CA has been great, and the local clearance has been smooth. I did the clearance myself.
In the event one had traveled to the said location during the year, one is able to use their allowances to pay the local taxes. However if allowances could not be applied as long as you don't have commercial quantities, and large scale electronics and liquor in your package, the tax is very minimal.
