Sending Air Cargo

Steps To Prepay Parcels:

1. Weigh the parcel to determine the chargeable weight in pounds (round up to the next higher number if at or above the 1/2 pound mark). Multiply the chargeable weight times the appropriate price per pound.
   

   Examples: Port Au Prince, Haiti - If your parcel weights 4.5 lbs., the cost would be $6.75
   

   NOTE: "Chargeable weight" is determined by regular pounds or volumetric pounds, whichever is greater. If your parcel is large and lightweight, the shipping cost may be determined by volumetric pounds. To determine the volumetric pounds of your parcel, use the following formula: Multiply the length of the parcel times the height times the width (in inches). Multiply this figure times .0054 to obtain the volumetric pounds.
   Length x Width x Height x .0054 = Volumetric Pounds

2. Place a check or money order (U.S. funds only) made payable to "Lynx Air" in an envelope.
3. Write "ATTENTION LYNX AIR" on the outside of the envelope. Nothing else should be written on the envelope.
4. Attach the envelope securely to the outside of the parcel. (Caution: be sure not to cover the address)
5. Address the parcel in the following manner:
   
   Recipient's Name - (Foreign City Name)
   c/o Lynx Air
   3402 SW 9th Ave.
   Ft. Lauderdale FL 33315
   
   
6. When your parcel arrives at Lynx Air in Fort Lauderdale, the check will be removed from the envelope and the parcel will be forwarded to its destination "prepaid". If the amount of the check is not sufficient to cover the Lynx shipping charges, the remaining amount due will be collected C.O.D. Please be sure to follow the directions carefully when figuring the amount due for Lynx shipping charges as overpayments cannot be refunded.

   Because of the large number of parcels received daily by our cargo department, it is very difficult to match a check to its appropriate parcel if the check does not arrive with the parcel. If we receive a check in the mail to pay for a parcel and the receiver does not have a freight account, regrettably, we must return the check to the sender and forward the parcel C.O.D.
