Birmingham Freight Services to Keep Your Business Stocked
As the largest metropolitan area in the state of Alabama and one of the largest in the Deep South, Birmingham is a major hub of economic activity. The city is perhaps most famous for its relationship to the American automobile: not only is it a major NASCAR racing site, but it has also become one of the most important centers for automotive manufacturing. Combined with its sizable steel, telecommunications, and retail sectors, this industry brings jobs, wealth, and expertise into the city continuously. But it also creates a wide range of logistics challenges, as Birmingham businesses struggle to split limited local road space with one another and with commuters. AirFreight.com knows how to meet and overcome these challenges.

A Proven Strategy for Birmingham Door-to-Door Express Freight
Birmingham Urgent Air Freight
During our many years providing Birmingham urgent air freight, AirFreight.com has made a point of getting to know the local landscape. We’ve studied the Magic City’s highways, local roads, airports, and other transit hubs in depth and identified the locations where bottlenecks tend to arise. We have also developed close relationships with a wide variety of local businesses and thus know all the major industries and the shipping problems they’re likely to experience. We pay close attention to local weather and traffic conditions, keeping track of all the different variables that can affect a delivery. The sum total of all these efforts is that when we get your call, we’re likely to know what you’re dealing with almost immediately, making it easy for us to then come up with a plan to resolve the issue.
Centralized Contact for your Birmingham Express Air Cargo
As an air and ground cargo coordinator that brings together a network of affiliated carriers, AirFreight.com is the ideal communication hub. From the instant you call to place an order until your items are finally and fully delivered, we will be available to talk to you about all the details of your delivery. When you call AirFreight.com, you won’t be directed to some remote call center or asked to leave a message but will speak directly with the team that’s coordinating your delivery. That team has direct access to the driver, airline, or courier handling your item at that moment and can thus tell you the location of your order. They can then extrapolate the remaining time left until you receive your shipment, updating that estimate whenever you ask. This way, you can adjust your operations around the expected arrival time while resting assured that your items are in good hands.
Carefully Catered Air Cargo Birmingham Services
In addition to giving you detailed updates on your order, we also craft that order in a way that best suits your specific company’s needs. Our concierge Alabama air freight strategy involves determining what sets your firm apart from the rest and how that affects deliveries. For standard air cargo delivery, that means finding the local airport closest to your items and then booking the next direct flight there from your starting point; if there are no direct flights between the two, we put together the shortest, most dependable set of connecting flights. For air cargo services, it means setting up a new flight specifically to bring your items to Birmingham. For either service, we also coordinate ground deliveries from your starting point to the first airport and from the final airport to your company. You can thus count on expedited air freight solutions crafted for your needs from the start of the shipment until the very end.
Air Freight
As the namesake of our company, air freight coordination is something we do with pride. We have spent years building a close network of cargo airline affiliates whom we can count on to handle any shipment safely and punctually. We know our affiliates’ schedules well, which means that as soon as you give us an order, we can schedule a flight or set of connecting flights for it without skipping a beat. We also have a parallel network of ground carriers whom we can coordinate to bring your items to the airport with time to spare, no matter how little lead time we have. By incorporating air traffic patterns and weather forecasts into our planning, keeping an eye on your items while they’re on the way, and responding quickly to sudden complications, we keep delivery times and disruptions at a minimum for our Birmingham emergency air cargo clients.
Air Charter
While we’re proud of our air freight affiliates and our ability to coordinate them, sometimes their scheduled flights just don’t get the job done, especially for clients who are going through truly drastic shipping emergencies. In these situations, we coordinate air charter services. An air charter is a flight set up for a specific order; rather than booking you space on a flight that’s already scheduled, we schedule a whole new flight. This service is valuable for businesses who don’t have time to wait for the next cargo flight into Birmingham. It’s also an important air cargo Birmingham solution for deliveries from remote locations, which may not have any regular flights into Birmingham or even into an acceptable connecting city. With air charter coordination, we ensure that orders from any origin and on any schedule are well within our wheelhouse.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
For businesses that rely on particularly valuable or sensitive small items, it’s often not enough to receive those items quickly. For items that need to be watched at all times, we coordinate same-day hand-carry deliveries. One of our affiliated couriers can pick up your item and keep it on their person at all times, using the air and ground services we coordinate to travel from the pickup point to Birmingham all in a single day. You will thus receive your shipments on time and without any concerns about where it’s been, how it’s been handled, or who has been able to see it. This service is particularly valuable for Birmingham’s high-tech businesses, which often depend on small, high-value parts for their operations.
