[photopress:logistics_APL_1.jpg,full,alignright]APL Logistics is introducing guaranteed delivery of full-container loads from Asia to nearly any destination in the United States.
The new service, called APL Guaranteed Continental, connects Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chiwan, and Yantian with virtually any ZIP code in the continental United States.
The service guarantees delivery of full-containerload cargo on a specified date or the shipper receives a 20% refund. The service is speedy. Full load shipments from Hong Kong to a consignee’s door in Boston will take only 15 days.
Under the Guaranteed Continental service, cargo receives priority stowage on APL container carrier vessels in Asia. That cargo is then among the first discharged after the vessels arrive at APL’s marine terminals in Los Angeles and Seattle.
Ocean containers destined for 13 metropolitan areas are loaded onto specially designed longhaul chassis. Cargo bound for any other U.S. destination is trans-loaded (or transferred) into domestic highway trailers at a Los Angeles-based APL Logistics facility.
