Important Announcement Concerning International Freight Forwarding Services to and from China
Most Chinese businesses will be closed for National Day in China from Thursday, October 1 through Wednesday, October 7 to celebrate the founding of the People’s Republic of China (including the LP China office). This will create limited air and ocean capacity in and out of Chinese ports as shippers scramble to get cargo out prior to the holiday. After that, airlines and ocean carriers will be playing catch-up after the holiday. As a result, Logistics Plus customers importing from, or exporting to, China should expect some transportation delays over the next few weeks. Additionally, with big box retailers and large manufactures buying up this limited capacity, air and ocean rates could be unseasonably higher than normal as well.
As always, the logistics specialists at Logistics Plus are here to help you navigate through these seasonal events as best as we can. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact your local Logistics Plus location or call our Global Headquarters at 1.866.LOG.PLUS (866-564-7587) within Canada and United States. You can also email our international solutions team at international@logististisplus.net. We thank you for your business and look forward to continually serving your global import and export transportation needs with affordable, high quality air and ocean freight forwarding solutions.
