Dimerco establishes in house devanning services in San Francisco
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.
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 twenty-four pallets and thirty-one rolls, the first consol box arrived in San Francisco on May 10.
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.
"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," the company said in a statement.
