Dimerco San Francisco starts Flexible Devanning Services in Certified Bonded Warehouse
Global freight forwarder Dimerco Express has set up in house devanning services at its San Francisco operation which will speed up the delivery process by between 3 to 5 days. Compared with other Container Freight Stations (CFS) handling Less Container Loads (LCL), the onsite capability means Dimerco can shorten the pick-up time by targeting the earliest available appointment and the load can be devanned on the same day.
The new service began at the end of April after Dimerco applied to US Customs for bonded warehouse certification ready to receive the consignment of ironing embossing press machinery and parts.
Travelling by ocean from Shenzhen, China the total load weighing 7,539kg, measuring 51.5 CBM and comprising 24 pallets and 31 rolls, the first consol box arrived in San Francisco on 10th May.
Without the need to secure 3rd party devanning and having its own bonded warehouse ensures Dimerco has more control over shipments and in this case a smoother distribution to the consignee in Northern California as well as the multimodal transport to inland states.
Dimerco’s 50+ years of logistics experience also proved invaluable as the Shenzhen team arranged headload for the largest cargo at the point origin so that it could be delivered to customer directly within the container and to the customer’s specified timeline.
Dimerco’s Central Service Center (CSC) said: “Dimerco has listened to its worldwide customers in introducing this service which most other freight forwarders outsource. Gearing up to provide a full service puts us in the position to manage the whole delivery process for a smoother result, increased control and lower costs. We are also able to be flexible enough to accommodate customers’ urgent or specialised requests; further enhancing our credentials as seasoned professionals in the seamless handling of large and heavy consignments.”
