The Fastest Way to Ship Inventory to Alaska

The Fastest Way to Ship Inventory to Alaska

As a freight company, we are often asked “What is the fastest way to get inventory to Alaska?” To which reply, “We can help you do that.” We’ve been shipping things to Alaska since 1965 and over the last 50+ years, we have learned a few things about shipping inventory that have become our standards for how we deliver every bit of inventory we ship. Here are the five key factors that should always be in place when one considers shipping to Alaska.

  1. Get an accurate and cost-effective quote
  2. Ensure you are getting a high caliber of 24/7 service from your shipping company
  3. Door-to-door pick-up and delivery of your inventory
  4. Can your freight company ship heavy cargo?
  5. Does your freight company have access to Alaska’s remote areas?

For every piece of inventory or heavy cargo that we ship, not only do we deliver the goods, but we consistently deliver on these five standards as well. Here’s how.

HOW WE DO IT

The first step is giving our customer an accurate quote that allows them to get their inventory to its destination without breaking the bank. Sometimes this can be accomplished with just one carrier, but there are times when this requires utilizing multiple carriers. When this is the case, we can offer options. Over the years, we have built a 500-partner network of carriers that we can call on to help us deliver any shipment. We know our network well and know which partner is best for a particular job. This allows us to better keep track of costs and because of the established relationships, we can often negotiate a slightly discounted rate when other outside factors may affect shipping rates, such as increased fuel costs.

This network of partners also enables us to ship freight to remote parts of Alaska, that other freight companies simply cannot reach.

Next, we track the shipment from beginning to end to ensure that it arrives to its final destination on schedule and without damage. For every shipment we process, we assign an Alaska Air Forwarding representative to that customer. This representative is available to answer any questions as well as solve any problems that may arise during the shipping process. Plus, Alaska Air Forwarding has offices in several key Alaska cities, so our knowledgeable staff is able to facilitate the shipment from start to finish.

Finally, what makes us most competitive when it comes to freight shipping is the fact that we can ship almost any sized cargo, no matter how heavy or oddly shaped it may be. Our ability to ship heavy cargo has been one of the key factors that sets Alaska Air Forwarding apart from all other freight companies.
