What about the loss of the original B / L?

B / L refers to the document of bill of lading issued by the carrier. In the import and export business, sometimes according to the business needs, the shipper will release B / L to the carrier, and issue a letter of guarantee to apply for the shipping company to inform the destination agent to release the goods to the designated consignee by telegram. B / L shall be marked with the words "original", and the bill of lading shall be duly signed and sealed by the carrier with the date of issue.

B / L is generally made in triplicate, but also in triplicate, quadruplicate and quintuplicate, so that if the shipper loses one of them, he can take delivery of the goods with other copies of the bill of lading. After one of them completes the delivery procedures, the other copies will automatically become invalid.

This bill of lading is a fair and effective document in law and commerce. The bill of lading shall be marked with the words "original" to show that it is different from the duplicate bill of lading.

What about the loss of the original B / L?

Even if telerelease B / L has all kinds of advantages, some customers require the original B / L. There is also a risk, if you don't mention the extra express fee. What kind of risk is the risk that B / L is lost by express delivery. "No, it can be lost, too?" Yes, and it happens often. It happened to me.

At that time, it was a 40 foot cabinet gift from a French customer. According to the customer's request, we sent B / L to her by DHL express. The customer has already placed an order for the second time. We will express three originals of B / L to their company through a DHL agent (praise me who saves money for the company).

The waybill records show that the express delivery has been successfully delivered and signed, so many days later, the customer said that we were shocked that they did not receive the express delivery. The customer said that they had changed their address, they didn't know the signer shown on the waybill record, and DHL said everything was OK after querying. The ship has been opened. Let's solve the problem first and then break up with DHL.

The solution to the loss of the original B / L is that the exporter should pay the equivalent security deposit to the forwarder and mortgage it for two years. At the same time, let's go to China business daily to publish a statement of the loss of the original B / L.

It's OK to publish a statement in the newspaper, but it's too demanding to pay a deposit and mortgage for two years. We negotiate with the forwarder. The forwarder means that you should publish the newspaper first and then finish. Contact the newspaper, pay money, publish the newspaper and express it to the forwarder. I didn't dare to delay for a day.

The forwarder didn't mention the deposit after receiving the newspaper, and the customer picked up the goods smoothly after the goods arrived at the port. The whole thing was handled smoothly. Later, we analyzed that the customer's payment had been paid off, and we cooperated to make a guarantee statement. They also had no reason to worry about other problems.

Subsequent negotiations with express companies were not very smooth. Because it's through the agency. The agency hesitated for half a day to provide their company name. DHL insisted that all the results they could find were normal. When the matter is settled, we are too lazy to pursue the claim.
