SINGAPORE-APL Logistics, which co-developed day-definite, less-than-container load (LCL) cargo delivery, has introduced its latest freight transportation breakthrough-guaranteed delivery of full container loads from Asia to virtually any destination in the U.S.

Named APL Guaranteed Continental, the new service connects the ports of Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chiwan, and Yantian with virtually any ZIP code in the continental U.S. The service guarantees deliveries of full-container load cargo on a specified date, or shippers receive a 20% refund.

APL Logistics said its new service will provide the industry's fastest transit times between key ports in China and customers' U.S.locations. For example, full-container load shipments from Hong Kong to a consignee's door in Boston will take only 15 days.
