Air Menzies International (AMI) – the world’s largest trade-only airfreight and express wholesaler – has added FedEx as a carrier to its highly-successful Quick2Ship door-to-door express product, which has operated in the USA since 2011. The extension of the program to include FedEx brings  new destinations, additional frequencies and extra capabilities to Quick2Ship’s existing global coverage. Quick2Ship is AMI USA’s global door-to-door product, which provides all-inclusive quotes from any US zip code to any address worldwide. Only accessible by bona fide airfreight agents who have established credit facilities with AMI, the system provides instant online quotes which are stored for 10 days, and can then be converted to bookings without re-entering details. Quick2Ship also provides  full online tracking and tracing for every shipment. The Quick2Ship product is primarily targeted at the sub-30lbs (13 kg) sector, with shipments generally comprising one or two pieces; however, Quick2Ship has been used to move everything from a small envelope to an entire X-ray machine, and is viable wherever fast door-to-door global delivery and all-inclusive pricing are required. Quick2Ship also offers import and cross-trade services. Quick2Ship does not accept dangerous goods, live animals, certain pharmaceuticals and items prohibited by destination regulations; full up-to-date embargo information is available online during the booking process. The Quick2Ship website also provides an interactive live chat feature both on the log-in and booking screens, connecting users with a specialist service team. Says Olga Lebedyeva, AMI’s General Manager – Express Services for the USA: “Quick2Ship has been highly popular from the outset, and has grown by 15% in the past year. It has proven particularly popular for shipments originating outside our main gateways, where agents appreciate the all-inclusive service and pricing for their minimum shipments, as a labour-saving alternative to quoting for and arranging collection, and delivery direct to the carrier’s hub.” Another niche which Quick2Ship has successfully carved for itself is the transmission of shipping documents to those many overseas markets where physical documents must still be presented ahead of the arrival of goods, either by air or ocean freight. Concludes Olga: “Quick2Ship provides exactly what freight agents demand today: quality, convenience, speed and economy. We believe this addition of FedEx capacity and frequencies will further add to the product’s appeal.”
