Global multi-materials sourcing, multi-parts sourcing, multi-finished goods sourcing have increased today’s global supply chain complexities. It’s likely that today’s sourcing is a multi-country endeavor. Air freight is the key to accomplishing final deliveries within tight deadlines . Air shipping is often the glue that binds shippers to their clients. How about the air shipping cost? Many factors determine the cost of shipping via air.  From the carrier’s standpoint, here’s what must be considered: Fuel costs Operating aircraft types The mix of cargo Global regions The goods being shipped, size and details do matter! Whether shipments require “next flight out” expedited service, or a consolidated-time-deferred service with economic savings in mind, airfreight is still much faster than a boat or ship on the ocean. DGX-Dependable Global Express navigates customers through the complexities of the air shipping process. If worried about carrier liability limits, we can ...

DGX - Dependable Hawaiian Express creates superb value by offering excellent shipping, to and from Costa Rica , at competitive pricing. For the past 10 years, DGX, in conjunction with its Costa Rican partner, Transportes Mundiales Bensa, has been offering weekly direct service from Los Angeles to San Jose, via Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica. With our company service provider goals of reducing freight charges and transit times from the West Coast of the USA to Costa Rica, our direct service from Los Angeles separates DGX from any other freight forwarder in the Costa Rican market. It’s the special combination of the direct route and fast transit times. West Coast cargo can more easily move to Los Angeles as opposed to routing via Florida which is expensive and cumbersome. Additionally, trucking companies have been increasing their overland rates lately due to fuel surcharges (coupled with decreased service levels due to weather issues and driver shortages), and Aeromexico has stoppe...

What is an acceptable transit time for shipping from the U.S.A. to Guam? There are two carriers that currently provide ocean service from the U.S.A. to Guam. One carrier has a transit time of two weeks with an arrival of Tuesday every week. The other carrier has a transit time of three weeks with an arrival of Thursday or Friday. At DGX - Dependable Global Express , we pride ourselves in moving product for businesses as fast and problem free as possible. Thus we choose the quicker carrier to Guam  – the one with the better on-time record. Our carrier has an on-time record of 78%, based on an ETA of 59 minutes or less. The alternate carrier has an on-time record of only 23%, less than one in four of their ships are on time. DGX also offers the latest cut-off times in the industry to receive freight on the west coast, as well as we offer deliveries in Guam within 48 hours of container availability. This gives you a total transit time from the west coast of 17-18 days. The othe...

There are 6,000 miles of ocean to cross for your cargo to arrive in Guam – the equivalent of going from Los Angeles to New York and back again. The ocean is not a smooth paved highway, but rather comprised of vast, turbulent seas with swells as big as four-story buildings through which sea faring vessels need to navigate. The vessels get knocked around quite a bit, causing cargo loaded inside containers to shift and move during transit. In order to minimize any damage caused by the often rough trip, the shipping professionals at DGX - Dependable Global Express always take extra care when loading your freight by adding dunnage and cardboard inside the containers to safely secure the loads from shifting and moving about inside your containers. As a shipper or supplier shipping items to Guam, here are a few shipping tips to help ensure your products arrive safely and intact: Always load heavier items on the bottom of pallet, with lighter product on top. Use three to four layers o...
