Tacoma Freight Challenges
As a port city, Tacoma is well integrated into the rest of the American economy, as well as into the economies of nearby Canada and of Mexico. This integration means that to serve the city effectively, urgent air freight coordinators must be able to start orders from any location in those countries on short notice. AirFreight.com has this capacity thanks to the enormous carrier affiliates network we’ve put together. Regardless of where your supply point is, we’re likely to have an affiliated airline near there, and can work with them to charter a flight or reserve space on a scheduled flight without hesitation. Our expert planning team can chart out the best possible path for your items, staying in contact with the affiliate to help them follow the plan to the letter. Meanwhile, we keep you involved in the process every step of the way by offering:
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
A single point of contact (SPOC) is an office you can call at any point before, during, or after the air coordination process. By setting one up, AirFreight.com ensures that you’re never in the dark. When your supply line breaks down, and you’re frantically searching for backup shipping solutions, our SPOC is there to guide you calmly and comprehensively through all our emergency air freight and charter options. Once you’ve placed an order, our SPOC will still be there to give you precise updates on the location of your order, letting you know where it is and how much time remains before delivery. And after the order is over, our SPOC will remain available to help you deal with any future shipping emergencies, as well as to answer general questions about what our coordination process can do. In this way, AirFreight.com keeps you up to speed at every stage of the expediting endeavor.
Concierge-Level Customer Service for Tacoma Businesses
Having an SPOC doesn’t just help us keep you informed, but also makes it easier to involve you in the expediting process. While many customers will place an order and leave us to it, others want to take a more proactive role in ensuring their supplies make it to their Tacoma destination on time. We work with both types of customers happily, and if you want a more hands-on service, we have no problem involving you from the start. When you place your initial order, we will point out all the different air freight and charter services we coordinate and give you the choice of which one to use. Then, when the order’s on its way, we’ll let you know what remains in its path. If the original plan doesn’t work out because of unexpected weather, traffic, or other disruptions, we’ll consult you about our plans to keep it on track. From start to finish, you’ll be in full control of your emergency order with AirFreight.com.
Air Freight
Traditional air freight is the solution to an array of shipping woes, which is why AirFreight.com has made it one of our foundational services. When your items have to cross thousands of miles in a matter of hours, we go straight to work by contacting an affiliated carrier near your starting point and accessing their schedule. Once we’ve found a scheduled flight to Tacoma, we’ll book it and then proceed to coordinating transit to and from the airports. If there is no direct flight to Tacoma, we’ll consider all the different connecting flight options, choosing the one that offers the quickest delivery with the lowest risk of disruption.
Air Charter
Air charter is the ability to set up new flights that were previously scheduled and reserve them for specific clients. This service is a panacea for Tacoma businesses that rely on supplies from especially remote locations, as well as those who have particularly tight deadlines for supplies coming from thousands of miles away. AirFreight.com has formed such close partnerships with so many different cargo airlines precisely so that we’ll be able to offer this service in as many different circumstances as possible. No matter the nature of your emergency, you can be confident that there will always be a flight available because AirFreight.com can set up that flight. Thus, your business will be secure against any type of supply disruption, always able to bring in the items you need.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Both air freight and air charter services often bring in items that are delicate, confidential, or otherwise sensitive. AirFreight.com takes care to safeguard your items on any type of order, but if you have smaller items that you’re particularly concerned about, we can go a step further by providing same-day hand-carry coordination. For this service, we select a trusted courier from our affiliate network and send them to pick up your items. They’ll carry your items to the airport, get on the flight with them, and keep them close throughout the journey. They’ll only let go of your items when they hand them to you, meaning you can rest easy knowing that no harm came to them and nothing was revealed about them during the journey.
