A freight forwarder needed our help transporting the parts, which were needed by their client within 48 hours.
Getting an urgent shipment of gas sensors from China to London
A freight forwarder tasked our office in Beijing with transporting a shipment of gas sensors from China to London within 48 hours. Our client urgently needed the parts to meet the deadline to win this bidding, so with no time to waste, we got straight to work on an express solution.
Our Solution
Route: Shanghai > Beijing > London
Service: Trucking, onboard courier
Our cargo brokers worked with the logistics experts at ACS Time Critical to get this last-minute shipment on the move, confirming an initial plan within just six minutes.
The client wanted to use a direct service from Shanghai to London, but the cargo needed to be cleared for exportation before leaving China. Due to the tight timeframe, we suggested sending it via Beijing, where customs clearance is faster than in Shanghai.
Leveraging our industry contacts, we arranged for the consignment to be trucked to the airport, where we had an onboard courier waiting to accompany it to the UK.
Everything ran smoothly and the gas sensors reached London in good time, ensuring the end client’s production line remained in action.
