Fashion magazines, industry websites, and stylish stores all seek to give the public and the media an ongoing fashion fix. New York Fashion Week takes it to a whole different level. When fashion week is in full swing, the Big Apple is captivated. This is the main event and the reputations of industry players are on the line.
NY Fashion Week is one of the four major fashion weeks held around the world. The New York City event caters to nearly 100,000 designers, buyers, journalists, and celebrities from around the world.
For one of its top customers in the fashion industry, JAS’s Priority Global Hand Carry service was a cost-effective, time-sensitive solution to courier a set of high-value, hush-hush new products for display on Fashion Week’s opening night.
Opening night at The Lincoln Center dazzles the attendees with glittering chandeliers and extravagant neon lighting illuminating a vast array of clothing and accessories. It’s a festival atmosphere where getting the right product in front of critical buyers and media reviewers is what it’s all about.
When a customer needed a critical product shipped to New York at the last minute, JAS rose to the challenge. Adapting to this kind of unique environment is the norm for Priority Global Hand Carry moves. Within eight minutes of receiving the booking request from its customer, JAS dispatched one of its Courier Specialists from the Priority Global Hand Carry Team to Milan, Italy. Hand Carry Freight Specialists are multi-lingual freight professionals who perform extensive travel and are required to complete annual training on secure handling practices.
Initially, upon arrival to Milan, JAS’ Courier Specialist became aware that both the customer contact and pick-up location had changed. No problem. Through JAS’s ability to update its Courier Specialists with automated alerts on new customer requirements during departure, in-transit, and on arrival, JAS met with its new customer contact in Italy without delay.
JAS performed the proper collection, inspection, and sign-off by Export Customs officials, then proceeded with escort handling from Milan International Airport. Booked on the next return flight to the United States, JAS completed the Priority Global Hand Carry in the allotted ETA and handed the shipment off to its customer, just in time for its public launch on opening night.
