Get Your Products to Market Faster
Getting goods to
international markets faster than your competitors is critical to your
success. Ocean freight may keep costs down, but speed to market is still
important to your customers. UPS Trade Direct® Ocean lets you maintain the cost
benefits of ocean freight while getting your goods to customers days, in some
cases weeks, faster by bypassing distribution centres.
Simplify Shipping
UPS Trade Direct Ocean is a
port-to-door and door-to-door delivery solution from ports in the U.S., Asia,
Europe, and the Americas. This solution is designed for customers who want to
simplify logistics management, reduce costs and minimise the risk of loss or
product damage. By leveraging the breadth and reliability of the UPS global
network, UPS Trade Direct Ocean can remove days from your supply chain -
delivering goods from overseas directly to your customers' locations.
Based on purchase order allocation and distribution information, your
packages can be labelled and inserted directly into the UPS package delivery
network following arrival and customs clearance in the destination country.
Larger deliveries move by less-than-truckload (LTL) service. This combination of
services enables us to extend your order fulfilment opportunities and improve
your tracking capabilities - making it faster and less expensive for you to do
business overseas.
