Delivery of mining, drilling, and heavy industrial spare parts often requires specialized logistics due to the weight, dimensions, and technical characteristics of industrial components.

Mining Drill & Rock Parts, operated by DSLN LLC, works with a global network of manufacturers, distributors, and professional logistics providers to arrange safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery to customers worldwide.

1. How Delivery Works

Shipping arrangements are coordinated based on the specific order, destination, and logistics requirements outlined in the official quotation or order confirmation.

When preparing delivery options, the following factors are evaluated:

  • destination country and postal / ZIP code
  • weight, size, and packaging requirements
  • urgency and requested delivery timeline
  • available freight routes and carriers
  • customs and import considerations

Based on this information, the most suitable delivery method is selected and confirmed in writing prior to shipment.

2. Available Delivery Methods

Due to the industrial nature of mining and drilling spare parts, a variety of professional freight solutions may be used.

2.1 Express Air Courier

Used primarily for urgent, lightweight, or time-critical spare parts.

Common carriers include:

  • DHL
  • FedEx
  • UPS
  • TNT
  • Aramex

Actual transit times depend on the destination, carrier service level, and customs clearance.

2.2 Standard Air Freight

Suitable for medium-sized or higher-value shipments requiring faster transit than sea freight at a balanced cost.

Commonly used for:

  • boxed components
  • palletized cargo
  • urgent industrial parts

Availability depends on airline schedules and cargo capacity.

2.3 Sea Freight (Heavy & Oversized Cargo)

Sea freight is the most common solution for large, heavy, or oversized mining and industrial components.

Available options may include:

  • FCL (Full Container Load)
  • LCL (Less than Container Load / groupage)

Sea freight is typically used for:

  • engines and power units
  • hydraulic assemblies
  • drilling components
  • structural or cast parts
  • bulk or project shipments

Transit time depends on port routing, vessel schedules, and global freight conditions.

2.4 Consolidated LCL Shipments

For shipments that do not require a full container, consolidated LCL shipping may be offered.

Benefits include:

  • reduced freight costs
  • flexibility for smaller shipments
  • access to international routes without full container commitment

Transit time varies depending on consolidation schedules and destination ports.

2.5 Road Freight (Regional Transport)

Road transport may be used for regional or cross-border deliveries, including:

  • United States and Canada
  • European Union and United Kingdom
  • Australia (domestic transport)
  • South Africa and selected African regions
  • Latin America (where infrastructure allows)

Road freight is often combined with air or sea transport as part of multimodal logistics.

2.6 Rail Freight (Where Available)

Rail freight may be used in regions with established industrial rail networks, such as:

  • North America
  • European Union
  • Brazil (selected corridors)
  • South Africa

This option is typically applied to heavy pallets, bulk cargo, or long-distance inland transport.

2.7 Multimodal Logistics

For complex or long-distance deliveries, combined transport solutions may be used, including:

  • Air + Road
  • Sea + Road
  • Sea + Rail + Road
  • Hybrid Air–Sea routes

Multimodal logistics help optimize cost, availability, and delivery reliability.

3. Worldwide Delivery Coverage

Delivery is available to a wide range of global destinations, including but not limited to:

North America

United States, Canada, Mexico

South America & Latin America

Brazil, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and other LATAM regions

4. Why Destination Details Are Required

To provide accurate delivery options and freight costs, the following information is required:

  • destination country
  • postal / ZIP code
  • delivery location type (warehouse, industrial site, port, commercial address)

This information allows proper:

  • freight cost calculation
  • route and carrier selection
  • customs requirement assessment
  • delivery planning and scheduling

Without complete destination details, accurate shipping quotations cannot be provided.

5. Packaging and Handling

Mining and industrial spare parts often require reinforced protective packaging.

Depending on the item and transport method, packaging may include:

  • industrial wooden crates
  • reinforced pallets
  • moisture-resistant and corrosion-protective wrapping
  • metal frames for heavy components
  • shock-resistant materials

Packaging is selected to ensure safe handling throughout the transport process.

6. Customs, Duties, and Import Regulations

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

  • customs clearance procedures are handled according to the destination country’s regulations
  • import duties, taxes, and customs fees are the responsibility of the receiving party
  • required shipping documents may include:
    • commercial invoice
    • packing list
    • certificate of origin (upon request)
    • HS codes

Customs processing time varies by region and may affect overall delivery timelines.

7. Delivery Timeframes

Delivery timeframes vary depending on:

  • product availability
  • origin and destination
  • selected shipping method
  • customs processing
  • global logistics conditions

Estimated dispatch and transit times are provided in the official quotation or order confirmation and should be considered indicative rather than guaranteed.
