After a delay with their delivery, we stepped in to ensure the artist’s t-shirt stand was well-stocked ahead of the gig.
Getting a country singer’s merchandise to his show on time
A freight forwarder asked us to help move three tonnes of t-shirts from California to a country singer’s show in Washington State. With just a few hours to go until the concert, the delayed merchandise was urgently needed to ensure fans weren’t left empty-handed. We got straight to work on a charter solution to deliver it in time.
Our Solution
Routes: Los Angeles > Seattle
Aircraft: Embraer 120
Keeping a close eye on aircraft movements, our team knew there were no charter aircraft available at short notice that were large enough to move the 200 loose boxes.
Thinking quickly, we instead sourced a smaller turboprop positioned nearby for a partial delivery of 124 boxes, while the freight forwarder secured space with a scheduled air freight service for the remainder of the shipment.
Our experts hand-loaded the boxes onto the aircraft for a swift departure, with the delivery making it to Seattle in good time.
