Nfo Shipping: What Is It?
Courier companies ship packages by both air and ground vehicles
. If you need to ship coast to coast or internationally and are squeezed for time on your shipment, your distribution logistics company will likely suggest that you look into air options for moving your goods. One of the fastest ways that you can move smaller packages and parcels in the air is an option which is known as NFO shipping.
Next flight out shipping is a method of shipping which takes maximum advantage of the network of commercial flights which crisscross the country, and the entire world. By taking advantage of this existing network instead of trying to deliver a product themselves every step of the way, a company can get your shipments delivered much faster than you would ever deliver.
Because NFO shipping by definition means that your product will be on the very next flight leaving your city towards its destination, it can get your shipment delivered much more quickly than you would imagine. NFO shipping can be used to deliver a product almost anywhere on the planet in a very short amount of time.
There are a number of companies that offer NFO shipping, but some of them can actually offer NFO times which are better than those that their competitors can offer. This might seem strange, but it becomes clear when you look at all the steps in an NFO delivery. The first step is that the courier must pick up your shipment. If you place an NFO shipment and the next flight is leaving in a short amount of time, you need a courier capable of responding very quickly if you want your shipment to be on that flight. A courier who is slow to respond might not be able to get your shipment out to the next flight, which could be a few hours, or a few days away.
The next step in the delivery is the flight itself. When you're in a city with only one airport, this is not much of a concern. However, in a large metropolitan center where there may be more than one international airport, a courier that only accesses one airport is vastly limiting their options. If a courier company uses all the airports in your area, they can sometimes help you find much faster NFO shipping times than a courier that only uses one airport.
