Reasons for Expedited Shipping

November 15th, 2011

There are a number of different types of shipping, but one that is being used more and more is JIT Expedited Shipping, or Just in Time Shipping. Different shippers will use this service for variety of reasons, with some using them for:

Sudden Demand

Sometimes you just can’t plan for the sudden demand of your product. When a customer needs your product immediately, using expedited shipping can allow you to get it there quickly, often within 24 hours, so that your customer can then make use of the product.

Sensitive Freight

Sometimes the freight being shipped is sensitive in nature, either because of time constraints on it, because it is perishable, or because of it’s hazardous nature. These types of freight often make use of expedited shipping so that they are not on the road any longer than necessary.

No matter the reason, expedited shipping is an increasingly popular way for shippers to get their products to their customers as quickly as possible.
