What is Expedited Freight and Services in Shipping?
Expedited freight and services are all about providing preferential treatment to a consignment for its speedy delivery to its customer.
The timely delivery or receipt of goods is critical for most businesses, especially for large projects.
Imagine a ship repair company that keeps an optimized inventory of critical, expensive spares and parts. The replenishment of stocks of such spares and parts has to be perfectly synchronized with demand.
This is where expedited services and freight plays an important role.
A truly expedited freight service may be more expensive as it is a kind of special service provided to the customer.
