FAQ

Answers to Your Questions

⚖️ How is chargeable weight calculated?
Airlines compare the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length x width x height / 6000). Whichever is greater is used as the chargeable weight for calculating freight charges.
🚫 Does Vico accept dangerous goods shipments?
Currently, Vico does not offer dangerous goods transport services. We only carry general cargo that complies with legal regulations and carrier requirements. If you are unsure whether your cargo is classified as dangerous goods, Vico will help inspect it and recommend a suitable transport solution.
⏱️ What happens if cargo is delayed?
Vico will closely track the shipment throughout, provide continuous status updates, and assist with rerouting to ensure the cargo arrives safely at its destination as soon as possible.
