Choosing a time-critical logistics specialist

When you’re working to a strict deadline, you need to know that every stage of the process will go smoothly. Delays with shipping can have a real impact further down the line, so it’s vital to ensure consignments arrive on time and in perfect condition. Here are just a few reasons to choose a time-critical logistics specialist for your delivery as opposed to a time critical expediting a shipment.

Speed

When things don’t quite go to plan, and you’re running out of time, a time-critical logistics provider will ensure your consignment is transported with the utmost speed, meaning that if you need it by a certain time, it will be delivered. At Priority Freight, we can typically respond to enquiries within just 15 minutes, so you can be sure that when you’re against the clock, you can rely on us.

Flexibility

Whether you know a month in advance that you need a specific item on a specific date, or you’re given a time frame to adhere to at the last minute, with time-critical logistics, you can select a particular date and time for a delivery. This is much more convenient for production scheduling and keeping assembly lines running.

Worldwide delivery

If you’re looking for global logistics solutions, a time-critical specialist has a large network of strategically placed global partners that allows them to provide worldwide delivery. From road haulage companies and air freight services to on board courier services, we also have our own in-house customs team. Our industry experts have access to the fastest routes and the most appropriate services for each shipment. Wherever you need to deliver goods – whether it’s to a factory or warehouse – time-critical transport is the most efficient and cost-effective option. 

Tracking and monitoring

Advanced track and trace technology means you get comprehensive monitoring of your consignment as part of your logistics service. A team is on hand 24/7 to respond to any issues that arise, and to ensure your delivery reaches its destination on time and in perfect condition.

Customs formalities

Even with the most rapid shipping option from a regular courier, delays may still occur at customs. At Priority Freight, we have a team of customs experts ready to take care of all the formalities and declarations, and quickly clear your goods. Our Full Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status means we’re recognised internationally for providing secure and reliable customs control procedures. We can even expedite the process further by clearing your consignment at our own premises, negating the need to attend an inland border facility. As such, there’s a much smaller risk of delays and disruptions to your supply chain.
