Today four Logistics Plus (LP) employees rappelled “Over the Edge” down a 14-story, 200-foot tall building in downtown Erie, PA in support of Gaudenzia. Gaudenzia helps people affected by chemical dependency, mental illness and related conditions to achieve a better quality of life — allowing them to live as productive and accountable individuals. Logistics Plus was a main sponsor for the event which officially kicked off last night with opening comments from Logistics Plus founder and CEO, Jim Berlin. To be included in the event, the LP rappelling team raised $1,000 for the charity. The four brave souls that climbed down the building today included Erin Berlin, Jessica Konieczki, Garrett Bowden, and Vladimir Yakunin. Way to go!

Amazon Selects Logistics Plus for its Solutions Provider Network
Provides retailers with third-party service options for international shipping.
ERIE, PA (June 14, 2016) – Logistics Plus Inc., a worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, announced today that it has been selected by Amazon to be a part of its Solutions Provider Network (SPN) as part of the Amazon Global Selling program. This program provides the tools and support Amazon sellers and retailers need to grow internationally while taking much of the complexity, cost, and effort out of global selling activities.
Logistics Plus is currently listed as a service provider for FBA international shipping and self-fulfilled international shipping on Amazon’s SPN website. FBA (Fulfillment By Amazon) international shipping is for retailers that need to ship inventory to an Amazon fulfillment center outside of their home country. Self-fulfilled international shipping is for retailers that need to ship the product directly to an international customer.
With over a dozen U.S. locations, and additional offices in countries all around the world, Logistics Plus has been providing international shipping services for the past 20 years. Its international capabilities include imports and exports, air and ocean freight forwarding, project cargo, customs brokerage, global trade compliance, warehousing, and more. For imports, its remote location filing (RLF) status allows it to quickly clear shipments at any and all ports in the United States.
“We are very excited to be included in Amazon’s Solutions Provider Network,” said Jim Berlin, founder, and CEO of Logistics Plus. “Amazon provides many services to its seller community to help them successfully sell their products around the world. Sometimes those services are best covered by a third-party provider. In those cases, Logistics Plus is ready to help with international shipping, warehousing, inventory management, kitting and labeling, released fulfillment to FBAs or direct-to-customers, translation services, and much more.”
