Carson, CA (November 27, 2007) – Vanguard Logistics Services announced today that its USA import customers would be offered a new expedited service for inbound ocean freight from key Asian locations. Called “PriorityAssured”, the expedited ocean LCL service comes with a financial guarantee that the shipment will meet the faster published schedule offered under this service.
The expedited aspect of the service comes from priority de-vanning of inbound pre-cleared cargo which in turn marries up with a prioritized truck service, allowing the freight to bypass traditional rail congestion.
The guaranteed portion of the service relates to the company’s offer to refund a portion of the shipment cost to customers in the unlikely event that the prioritized schedule is not met.
“We have put serious thought and process re-engineering into designing this service offering”, said Jeff Lee, Regional Managing Director, North America. “Over the last 5 months, we’ve worked on our systems and procedures to ensure not just the faster physical handling of freight but also expedited internal hand-offs and end-to-end visibility on our web site. It’s not enough to simply brief your staff to expedite a shipment – you have to ensure that the de-vanning of the freight is under your control and that you have enough freight moving inland and access to road transport so you can deliver on the promise. Creating services like this is really helping the importer’s supply chain – true supply chain management”.
The company believes that the strength of the service is made possible by the unique advantages it has in managing its own neutral warehouse facilities.
Vanguard Logistics is currently offering the service from HongKong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Dalian, Qingdao, Shenzen and Xiamen. The expedited service will complement the company’s unmatched sailing frequency from China including an unprecedented every day service from Shanghai, thrice weekly from Ningbo and twice weekly from Qingdao.
