SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Unishippers Global Logistics, LLC, the largest reseller of
complete shipping services in the U.S., today announced the launch of
a new Unishippers.com website for its customers. Following extensive
customer research and significant technical development, Unishippers
has created a new online shipping experience designed to make shipping
faster and easier. Visitors to the new site will see a whole new look,
some user-friendly enhancements and several new capabilities. The
ultimate goal is to provide a better online shipping experience to
Unishippers customers.
Several new features have been added to make customers' lives
easier, including the ability for customers to process international
shipments. The new site guides users through the process of creating
international waybills with the proper customs codes, and it allows
them to fill out and submit required forms electronically.
Another new feature is alternate shipping address capability,
which allows users to arrange for shipments from locations other than
their billing or contract address, which can be useful for drop
shipping or for creating waybills from a central office that will be
used by remote offices or clients.
In addition, online waybill preparation is easier than ever before
thanks to the use of the latest Web 2.0 technologies. For example,
when customers enter the destination ZIP code, the site automatically
suggests the city and state, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
Customers can speed up this process by accessing information stored in
a searchable address book, which can be imported from existing address
book formats. Customers can also get Instant Price Quotes on shipments
by browsing the rates available for different service levels.
The new site's navigation has been greatly simplified so that the
most common areas can be accessed with fewer clicks. Visitors can more
quickly find what they are looking for -- from a quick price quote to
DIM weight calculators to customs documents required for international
shipments. The site also includes useful information about the various
services Unishippers offers, descriptions of carriers, a drop box
locator and the ever-popular shipment tracking tools.
"We're very excited about the launch of the new Unishippers.com
website," says Unishippers' Director of Technology, Alan Humpherys.
"The new site includes shipping tools we've never had available
before, and we think these tools will really benefit our customers."
A special online tutorial, now available on the homepage of
Unishippers.com, serves as an easy guide to navigating the new site.
Customers who have previously used Unishippers.com to process DHL
shipments online may use their existing username and password.
General access to the new site is available at
www.unishippers.com.
