How To Keep Pace With Film Industry Shipping
The film industry is a fast-paced, worldwide operation that does not discriminate on location or person in its terms of engagement. It simply requires the most astute professionals who can provide global shipping of a wide variety of props, equipment and even vehicles. More importantly, a third party logistics (3PL) provider would need to be sensitive to on-set needs, providing on-site staff to support and coordinate the logistics of filming. Experienced with television production work, LA 24-7 Forwarder finds excitement in the fast-paced world of filming, so we work hard to represent ourselves with only the best logistics talent in the industry.
On-Set Logistics Require Attention To Detail
Anticipating your needs should be the first priority of any 3PL you work with. Knowing what you need on-set before you do is the mark of true experience. Getting there quickly and discreetly is the proof of a strong network of shipping companies. International shipping is growing rapidly and sometimes the mere thought of getting through customs sends chills down your spine. The only way to expedite your shipment is to have wide knowledge of global shipping rates and the customs procedures of foreign countries ahead of time. You simply don’t have the time to worry about whether you’ll have what you need on-set, on-time, and ready to shoot. Relying on LA 24-7 Forwarder’s team of agents will be the best decision you ever made.
Your Shipping Needs Require Trust
Your shipping quote is likely going to pass through multiple hands, some who barely glance at the details. You need a partner you can trust. One who understands your budget, the speed at which you operate, and the places you need help the most. LA 24-7 Forwarder can be trusted to provide the lowest rates without sacrificing quality due to our extensive global network of agents with strong experience in the film industry.
Your Shipping Needs Require Reliability
Since shipping costs are rapidly changing, along with foreign regulations in our expanding global economy, having the connections to make your global shipping happen reliably is critical and in demand. LA 24-7 Forwarder has been establishing these trusted partnerships for years, exercising their ability to negotiate the best rates possible while still providing all the types of shipping services you need – whether international, standard, or express shipping.
Without Help You Could Fail
The last thing you need is a delay in receiving props, equipment or machinery on-set for your daily filming schedule. A schedule set back is profits lost in the film industry. We can’t express enough how helpful it is to have a 3PL on your side. One who is objective, connected and strong in the marketplace. Using in-house resources often leads to slow delivery due to an overabundant need for their services. A dedicated staff can be sent directly to your site to manage all the logistics that pop up on a daily basis. And, with LA 24-7 Forwarder’s expertise in managing the process from shipping quote, to choosing between shipping companies, to inland delivery right to your door, the idea of failing will be like a bad dream forgotten.
