AGS pulled off the amazing feat of a Same Day delivery from Taipei to Raleigh, North Carolina

New Hyde Park, NY July 7, 2014 – Transportation and Logistics provider, AGS, recently pulled off the amazing feat of the same day delivery of a shipment from Taipei to Raleigh, North Carolina.

One of the world’s largest apparel-related manufacturers and long-time account of AGS challenged their Raleigh terminal with getting a critical part needed for uninterrupted production from Taiwan to their North Carolina factory. AGS quickly arranged the pickup and flight to Atlanta and a confident plan was put into motion. Through AGS customs department, the package was cleared prior to landing, recovered off of an international flight in just 90 minutes that evening and immediately dropped at another airline for the day’s last flight to RDU. A driver was waiting on it and successfully delivered before midnight a package that shipped that same calendar day from Taiwan.

AGS met every requirement of getting this shipment delivered on time including an 8,445 mile flight met with the coordinated effort of couriers, Customs clearance, knowledgeable and talented logistics experts and AGS Raleigh at the home stretch to get it delivered on time the same day. Bob Volpe, District Manager in Raleigh, commented “it was a great job by everyone.”

AGS has been servicing customers since 1958 and is a leading provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain management solutions worldwide. It has stations and agencies in 125+ U.S. cities and 196 countries, and offers a menu of services that AGS management characterizes as offering “more options and greater flexibility than any other single source.”
