Click2ship goes on the road

[ January 24, 2012   //   Chris ]

AMI Express – the UK express arm of airfreight and express wholesaler Air Menzies International – has extended its click2ship online express product to include road services to 27 European countries, making it the UK’s only wholesale express door-to-door road service.

Based on the services of UPS, and like the original express air services within click2ship, the new road services are quoted and booked online at www.airmenzies.com/uk/click2ship. Customers can also track their shipments and obtain PODs on-line. Ratesinclude Customs clearance and delivery transportation but exclude any duties and taxes. Agent customers have the option of a collection service from either their own or their shipper customer’s premises.

It currently caters for single piece shipments from 10-70 kilos but multiple-piece shipments will be added soon. Transit times range from 3-5 days. Maximum weights will also be increased later in 2012 and there are also plans to include a full pallet service.

AMI Express general manager Patrick Walsh said: “For freight agents who are already using van services for intra-European freight, this service enables them to provide their customers with faster all-inclusive quotations, and offers the ultimate in reliability and end-to-end control.”
