OceanGuaranteed
Con-way Freight and APL Logistics have teamed up to create the first and only guaranteed LCL-LTL shipping solution from Asia to all points in the continental United States. This one-of-a-kind service is called OceanGuaranteed. We’ve maintained a 98.5 percent on-time delivery performance since start-up in September of 2006. That’s on a distance of 6,000 miles, and on transit standards that were unheard of before we started.
What does OceanGuaranteed provide that other NVOCCs can’t provide?
- Speed — expedited ocean and land transit times
- Reliability — guaranteed day-definite delivery in the continental U.S. lets you know the U.S. delivery date before the shipment leaves Asia, and provides a 20 percent money-back refund in the unlikely event of a delivery failure
- Visibility — complete shipment tracking from Asia to final delivery
- Fewer logistics provider handoffs for simpler and faster carriage
- Acceptance of any size tender
- Simple zone pricing
- A single “all in” invoice, with no surprise charges
- Hot-stow and first-off privileges upon arrival in the U.S.
OceanGuaranteed provides day-definite final delivery at an average cost of 75 percent less than traditional airfreight, with significantly faster transit times than standard NVOCC ocean carriage. OceanGuaranteed’s typical transit time from China to final delivery in Columbus, Ohio, is 18 days. Final delivery to the Northeast averages 19 to 20 days, depending upon destination.
What’s more, OceanGuaranteed offers superior transit times, end-to-end shipment visibility and total chain-of-custody, all with single-provider convenience, accountability and invoicing — and at a fraction of the cost of airfreight.
