New Delivery Option for Small Air Freight Shipments
To London
(August 5, 2003)
UniGroup Worldwide UTS, in conjunction with our partner Dimerco, now
offers an expedited and low cost delivery alternative for small air
freight shipments destined to London. Small air freight shipments are
defined as shipments weighing less than 500 lbs.
Historically, these smaller shipments have posed a problem in terms
of economic and efficient handling at destination. They are treated
in the same manner as larger shipments in terms of customs clearance
by a broker, transport to an agents warehouse and destination agent
participation in scheduling and physically delivering the shipment to
a residence. Many of these shipments can be better serviced by eliminating
the more costly and time consuming hand off between the customs broker
and full service destination agent.
With the "Dimerco Delivery Option", we will handle the customs
clearance and arrange for the direct delivery of the consignment to
the customers residence in and around London for a significantly reduced
cost.
In order to take advantage of this lower cost service, you must do the
following.
1. At the time of the survey, determine that this service is appropriate
with the customer. Explain that shipments handled in this manner will
not be unpacked by a UniGroup UTS full service crew. The shipment will
be delivered into the customer residence but only minimal packing will
be performed.
2. Notify your UniGroup Worldwide UTS Move Manager at the time of the
quote that you would like to take advantage of the "Dimerco Delivery
Option".
This is an excellent service to offer to private or prepaid customers,
but not a service that we should sell to national accounts.
If you have any questions about this service, please do not hesitate
to contact your move manager or Brian Iles at tel: 636-305-6045 or email:
brian_iles@unigroupworldwide.com.
