[photopress:logistics_global_link.jpg,full,alignright]Global Link Logistics, a furniture freight forwarder from Asia to the United States which is also a San Francisco-based transportation and logistics merger and acquisitions firm, has expanded its service into the Shanghai region.
This is its Flex service which, as you well knew but it had slipped the end of your tongue for a moment, stands for Furniture Less than Container Express service at Shanghai.
Flex lets manufacturers and retailers consolidate furniture orders from single or multiple factories at origin so orders are consolidated into a container. It allows manufacturers and dealers to cost-effectively consolidate orders from any number of factories at origin and ship individual orders—as small as 300 cubic feet—directly to any destination in the contiguous U.S. and many Canadian points through a logistics network dedicated to furniture.
GLL started Flex service in Yantian in early 2007 and plans to launch the Shanghai service around a few anchor tenants.
John Williford, president of Global Link Logistics said, ‘As the cost of fuel and transportation continues to increase, furniture importers are looking for ways to gain a competitive advantage.’
