FGX saw from the beginning that direct shipping was a more efficient way to send goods internationally. Unlike traditional hub-and-spoke shippers—who leverage an infrastructure-heavy model that funnels shipments to large processing and consolidation centers before sending them on to their destinations—direct shipping moves your international packages faster and with less transit friction and carbon emissions.
FGX helps our clients realize the outcomes they’re managing towards through direct international shipping.
Hub-and-spoke shipping is still an efficient way to ship domestically, but internationally it’s problematic. From the high potential for delays and damage (due to transit friction) to slow delivery times (resulting from the excessive mileage needed to move packages to out-of-the-way processing hubs, along with delays while your package waits for a full plane load before finally heading overseas), hub-and-spoke shipping leaves international shippers needing a better solution.
Direct shipping solves the problems of the international hub-and-spoke model. Packages are handled fewer times, and delivery times are up to 50% faster. Add in the greatly reduced environmental impact that comes when fewer flights are needed and packages travel half as many miles, and you can see why FGX has become the preferred shipper for so many forward-thinking businesses.
